In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, keeping your feet protected is crucial as your shoes will eventually wear out, leaving you to wander barefoot unless you acquire new ones or repair the old. Here's a detailed guide on how to obtain and repair shoes to keep you moving forward in the game.

While you begin the game with a pair of shoes, you're not bound to them throughout your journey. There are several methods to acquire new footwear. You can discover shoes in chests or loot them from poachers and other human enemies. For a more lawful approach, consider purchasing them.
Tailors, such as the one in Troskowitz, sell shoes, but these often come with subpar stats. For better quality, seek out a cobbler. You can find a cobbler in Trosky, identified by a symbol on the map resembling three red pieces in a circle, as shown below.

When you visit a cobbler, you'll find a variety of items for sale, not limited to shoes. Cobbler Matthew, for instance, also sells horse-related items. Additionally, you can purchase materials, Blacksmith’s Kits, and Cobbler’s Kits from him.

Repairing your shoes in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* can be done in multiple ways. You can have them fixed by cobblers or blacksmiths by selecting the repair option during your conversation with them. This brings up a menu where you can choose which items to repair and view the associated costs. These costs may vary if you've invested in the Craftsmanship skill, which can grant you percentage discounts on NPC repairs for all types of gear, including shoes and armor.
Alternatively, you can repair your shoes yourself, though this depends on your Craftsmanship level. If your skill isn't high enough, you won't be able to repair your own shoes or other equipment. To attempt self-repair, you'll need a Cobbler’s Kit.
Cobbler’s Kits are available from various vendors, including cobblers and blacksmiths, and can also be found in chests or by looting NPCs. To use a Cobbler’s Kit, navigate to your inventory, select the kit, and press the interact button ("E" on PC). This opens a menu displaying damaged items that can be repaired with the kit. If an item appears faded, your skill level is insufficient to repair it. Otherwise, select the items you wish to repair and press the interact button again to complete the repair.
This guide covers the essentials of obtaining and repairing shoes in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For repairing other gear, use the Blacksmith’s Kit similarly. It's always beneficial to keep your equipment in good condition, so don't hesitate to seek out a vendor for repairs when needed.
