A finished pair of steel sabatons (medieval armoured footwear), completed today in our workshop at MedievalMart Australia.
Each plate is cut, shaped, and riveted by hand. The articulated construction allows natural movement of the foot while maintaining an authentic historical silhouette.
These aren’t mass-produced pieces — they’re crafted slowly, component by component, using traditional armour-making techniques. Precision, balance, and patience are essential.
We enjoy sharing finished work from the MedievalMart Australia workshop, especially pieces where genuine craftsmanship is visible in every line of steel.

95% finished with this gauntlet! For my first try at armour making, I'm pretty damn happy with this! Just have to add some detailing, and seal it with modge poge! Then on to the other one!
