Nuremberg mittens “Footman” for full-contact combats. Hardened steel gloves for HMBIA/IMCF with reinforced thumb and increased mobility.

This improved model of medieval gauntlets is traditionally added to our most popular Footman set. It combines the best practices for full-contact fights. Hardened steel plates provide excellent impact resistance but allow to keep the gloves lightweight.

These gloves are made based on the famous statue on the fountain in the city of Nuremberg. They would be perfect for a late 14th-century kit. Since they completely cover the hand on all sides, it will be convenient to use them with both one-handed and two-handed weapons.
