Arm yourself with dependable protection using these Plain Medieval Steel Greaves, expertly crafted to replicate the lower leg defenses worn by warriors during the late 14th century. Designed with both authenticity and functionality in mind, each greave is formed from 18-gauge mild steel, offering a solid balance between defensive coverage and comfortable wear for extended periods.

By the 14th century, greaves became standard issue for knights, men-at-arms. This specific style with minimal design was common among soldiers who prioritized function over flair.

Their smooth, unembellished surface reflects the understated style often favored by practical soldiers and mercenaries, while the turned-under edges prevent sharp metal contact with clothing or skin, enhancing both safety and historical accuracy. These Medieval Steel Greaves are shaped to follow the natural curve of the shin and calf, giving wearers a better fit and streamlined silhouette when paired with chausses or hose.

The leather strap system onsists of two thick straps on each greave secured with classic buckles ensuring a snug, adjustable fit for most adult sizes. The backing sits comfortably against padded underarmor or gambeson trousers, making them ideal for prolonged wear during combat or events.
