Boots in case there's a snake in the grass.

Summer snake activity can be frightening for those that don’t like the slithery creatures. Whether you are confronted with a venomous snake or a non-venomous variety, you should stay away from the creature in order to avoid being bit. While most snakes will flee from a person, there are some aggressive species that can decide to stand their ground. Especially in rural settings, there is high potential for running into reptiles, but protective footwear can improve your chances of avoiding problems in such encounters. Medieval boots are excellent for use as protective wear.

Medieval boots are crafted of thick leather, making them less susceptible to the fangs of a snake. While most people worry about venomous species, there are aggressive snakes like red racers that pose little threat in terms of venom but still have a tendency to stand their ground and act aggressively. Infections from bites are of concern, but stout boots will provide excellent protection. Whether you are attending a Renaissance or Shakespearean event for fun, or are going to a Live Action Role Playing (LARP) weekend, your thick boots will provide a barrier that extends over your calf, keeping you safer from any potential snakes you may step too close to in the area.
