Traditional hob nails forged from iron with a natural finish. Set of 100 hob nails for boots, leatherwork and medieval projects
These hob nails are traditionally hand forged from solid iron, for strength and an authentic historical character. With a natural surface, each nail has subtle hammer marks and irregularities.
Iron was widely used in medieval times because of its toughness and reliability, so was used for footwear reinforcement and leather applications. These hob nails are designed to be driven into leather soles or wooden surfaces, where they add grip, protection and long-lasting wear resistance.
Historically, medieval hobnails were commonly used on boots worn by soldiers, travelers and laborers. They protected the soles from abrasion and extended the life of footwear during long journeys. Today, they are popular for historically inspired footwear, leather crafting and restoration projects.
This generous set of 100 gives ample quantity for multiple pairs of footwear. When used as hobnails for boots or as decoratives, these nails mix use with period appearance. They are also suitable for projects that require traditional boot hobnails, where historical look matters.
Because each nail is individually forged, variations in shape and finish are natural and expected.
