Moonless Night Boots
Gothic boots with modern comfort and contrasting lining
The dark queen is confident and sure footed. Every step she takes is with purpose, every move planned, every plan executed. You’ll never see her trip and fall, may she be running through the forest, dancing through the gnarled trees or slinking along the cobblestones of an abandoned village at night. Her footsteps are the sound and the wind, and her footprints are charred pits of ash.
You know what they say: behind every powerful woman is a great pair of shoes.
These gorgeously gothic ankle boots are the ultimate combination of medieval style and modern comfort. We feel that they embody the best parts of medieval-gothic design and formal wear, while remaining comfortable enough to be suitable for an active lifestyle, which is something a lot of medieval shoes lack. The modern sole of the shoe means that it will have more grip than traditional leather soled shoes, and will also last much longer and age better. While they may look medieval, the technologies we’ve developed in our footwear department allow for us to keep the great aesthetic without sacrificing comfort or durability.
Made from a supple but sturdy leather, these slim fitting boots have an attractive, form fitting profile. While the inner side of the boot does not open, the outside has lacing which gives you the ability to lace them tightly up your ankle. The toe of the shoe comes to an attractive tapered point, which is longer than the average toe you’ll find on modern footwear, but not inconveniently pointy or likely to be tripped over. The soles will generally be 3.5-4cm (1.4”-1.6”) longer than your feet, depending on the size of shoe you wear.
The most striking new feature you’ll find on these shoes is the contrasting leather lining, available in your choice or red or beige. The lining is clearly visible at the top of the boots, and adds a little bit of alternative flair as well as bringing a pop of colour.
Important note about measurements: Please be accurate when taking your measurements, as it drastically influences our ability to make an item that will suit you perfectly. Keep in mind that natural leather is soft material and it will stretch, so when you are getting your shoes it is normal that they fit very slim. They will adjust to your feet shape after one or two days of usage.

(The rating for our review should have been 1 star instead of 5, by the way, I am sorry to say; for some reason it does not allow me to edit the review)

I genuinely regret that this has to be our review: We ordered these boots back in February of this year & they arrived in late March; I know that it's taken a while to write this review, but the stresses of life meant that it kept being put off. In any case: we submitted custom measurements for these boots; initially we thought this would be fine, since our experience with ArmStreet custom measurements (before this) had always been top-notch and pretty well perfect. However, that proved not to be the case this time. For starters, even though we submitted VERY precise and exacting measurements, along with pics to accompany them making it clear exactly how those measurements were taken, we received communication back suggesting that there was some kind of discrepancy between the shoe size that we gave (which was correct) and the foot measurements that we submitted (which were also correct). There was no discrepancy, and we took the measurements *and* additional pics, and submitted that information; yet still, for some reason, there seemed to be confusion....even though all the required information was there. The shoe size that we submitted was correct; the measurements that we took, and submitted, were also correct. That's just how it was, and there shouldn't have been any confusion on that point! Even at this early stage, such confusion was concerning; this should have been a perfectly straightforward matter. Maybe we should have requested a refund at that early stage but unfortunately we did not. We received the finished boots in late March....and were *completely disappointed* with them. They are actually completely un-wearable. :( - there's random glue still on the bottom of the soles. - you can see the weird lump near the toe of each boot, which is where the last sat; the shoe was, for some reason, stretched *way* beyond the last. This being the case, of course it would make the boot *much too big*. - when the boots are done up, and when standing, her feet are being pushed forward into the shoe; at that point, the boot is then squishing her toes into the point of the boot. The heels are too wide and the toes are too narrow; due to how the back part of the boot is shaped, it pushes her foot forward into the points because the heel cap is TOO WIDE to hold the heel in place. Because of the way the boot is shaped, it pushes her foot forward. - the boots are way too long. Also, too narrow, and too deep at the same time. They push her foot forward *into the point*, which, of course, should not be happening. If the boots being deep was done to give more width, all that it accomplishes is to make them *still* too deep but then also *still not wide enough*. - generally speaking, unfortunately, the boots are simply not comfortable. The right boot is also somehow even worse than the left boot in terms of overall fit. Her size 7 insoles do not even fit in the boots, which would make one think the boots somehow too short - but they are not. If anything, they are *too long*. Putting in any type of insole doesn't help at all. - the boots were clearly made on a last which was not correct for this shoe style. For the boots to work, they would need to be, 1) shallower and wider across her foot, across her toes, and the balls of her feet; also, 2) the heel caps would need to be narrower. That's just for a start! There is no way at all for us to remedy this on our end. This is extremely disappointing. They haven't even been worn at all, apart from her wearing them literally for *two minutes* at most, indoors, just to try them on. We fear that, given the amount of time that has passed, maybe nothing can be done about this - though that would be disappointing, as well. We are now stuck with a pair of 'custom' boots which simply *cannot* be worn at all, because they very clearly do *not* fit the foot for which they were supposedly made. This is deeply disappointing! This is extremely upsetting and the first genuinely negative purchase experience that we have had with ArmStreet (we have purchased many things and we have been proud and happy to do so). It is also certainly the first time ever that us submitting correct, exact custom measurements has gone so completely *wrong* for some reason. Whatever happened with these boots, it certainly isn't the fault of incomplete or incorrect measurements nor reference images - both of which we submitted properly. I am very sad that the purchase of these boots turned out this way. :( They were eagerly and hopefully awaited; seeing how they didn't even come *close* to fitting was EXTREMELY upsetting and deeply crushing. :(
ArmStreet Team:Hello Dawn, Thank you for your feedback! I cannot locate any conversation with you on this matter, but you can simply contact us to solve the issue. If the mistake is on our part, we can simply take the boots back and make a new pair for you. Kindly, Alyona

Love the boots ! I ordered custom size and they fit very well ! I'll have to wear them to get the leather to soften as I got blisters last time (to be expected with new shoes) and I can already feel they'll be perfect once broken into !

Heyo! I have untrained eyes, what is the difference between these and the 'Duelists'?
Hi Aaron, these are the women's boots and the duelist ones are men's.
