By the early 1400s full plate armor had been developed. At the same time it was more decorative than practical because firearms were becoming more common.

yeah, they have a room of that stuff in chicago's art museum. very pretty. but i guess, some kings it was tunics over. and i forgot, they had the square toe/pointy toe back and forth too. one era extreme pointy. and some years semi-curled. i guess that will be next. curly toes.
the museum has pretty guns too.

The pointy toe makes it easy to get your foot into the stirrup.
