Historical Background

The Aurum Sabatons literally means "gold foot armor." Aurum is the Latin word for gold and a sabaton, or solleret, is part of a Knight's armour that covers the foot. Fifteenth century sabatons typically end in a tapered point well past the actual toes of the wearer. Sabatons of the first half of sixteenth century end at the tip of the toe and may be wider than the actual foot. The length of the sabaton often times determined the importance of the knight wearing them.
