The knight’s shoes were covered with armor called a sabaton. Right above the sabaton was the greave covering the shins, followed by the poleyn (over the knee), which was then attached to the cuisse (over the calf). The leg pieces went all the way from the feet up to the waist.

A paladin was trained to negotiate first, and attack only when necessary. We need to remember that our fight is not against flesh and blood, it is against demons and spiritual things. These are not what we usually think of as demons. These creatures can manifest themselves in something as innocent as a thought. We are at war against the bad behaviors, and impure thoughts of the human flesh. We must always come into battle on the heels of peace. We need to make peace with our fellow man, and war with Satin. We do not show the devil peace, but we must show our fellow man peace. We cannot attack the person, we attack the behavior and impurities within.

Always walk into battle peacefully.

Also, as I told you before, a knight would have his squire help him dress. We can’t fight alone. We MUST have the help of others in this battle against evil.
