Protect your mobility by making the Steel Vladimir Greaves a regular part of your medieval warrior ensemble. The steel greaves are composed of multiple curved metal segments, including a piece that can be closed around the back of the calf to block blows to the legs. A knee segment at the top is designed in a way that does not hinder your movements while offering additional coverage. Showing off a bright metal finish, the leg armour features decorative rivets that provide a striking look perfect for LARPing and re-enactments. We recommend wearing padded arming wear beneath this plate armour for increased comfort. Be sure to check out all of our Vladimir-style armour when creating your armoured outfit!

These greaves are awesome…but big and heavy, so be ready for the weight. If you own the Vladimir bracers, you owe it to yourself to get these too. The extra piece that hinges around the calf is just icing on the cake. I strongly suggest wearing the Leopold padded greaves with them, as they have a padded lip that extends over the top of the foot and conforms with the shape of these greaves. I thought the knee section would be more articulated, but it’s not a big issue. With a pair of the Balthasar belt shields, I have pretty much full leg coverage. These are really nice fantasy-style greaves for the price.
