Here is a perfect example, a very rare pair of Indian armored shoes, so badly photographed that you can hardly see any details, there is no excuse for this, I can take a better photo with a cell phone.

Pair of armoured of brass and steel mail and plate on a padded leather foundation. The forefoot is composed of rows of chevron-shaped alternating rows of brass and steel cusped overlapping plates connected with mail. The sides of the shoes are composed of cusped alternating steel and brass plates. The shoes terminate in brass tips. Place of Origin, Bhuj, Kutch India (made), 19th century (made), Leather with brass and steel.
