Description

Kogake, (also known as Sabaton kogate, Goku and Koka), are the armored footwear donned by samurai to protect their feet in battle. Traditionally, a samurai tended to wear waraji-gake-tabi (special tabi socks) and waraji (straw sandals), into battle. Over time, various armor types to adorn and/or protect the feet, were developed. Fashioned in the distinctive Japanese “split-toe” tabi style, the samurai warrior would typically lace his Kogake into the waraji, making it an armored shoe. Over time odoshi (lacing), kusari (iron mail) and hinges were implemented into the armor plating to make it more comfortable. A waraji-gake-tabi would be worn with these samurai armor shoes, to add more comfort.

This is probably the only piece that I’m not 100% satisfied with; they fit great, feel nice and help complete your armor as they are the samurai equivalent of sabatons.

Where they fall short, at least in my case is many of the chains aren’t closed or missing if compared to the other foot. And some of the stitchign already appears to be coming loose.

In all it’s not that big of a deal since chain often has to be replaced anyways and was only a matter of time by default. I just need to find someone who can sew.

Nice piece of additional armor. Fits really well. I had to tie it onto my sandals but that is what you are supposed to do. Feels comfotable on.

The kogake were delivered in advance, about six months prior to the making of the actual armor, but their vermilion color totally matched the main armor color. And I find they are simply a fantastic accessory to further complete one’s main set of armor.
