On a sidenote, Rising contains more references to knights as Raiden goes from White Knight to Black Knight. I think this is why Kojima nicknamed them White Raiden and Black Raiden. Black Raiden refers to the Black Knight who is a corrupted version of the White Knight. In Raiden's case it could be his darker personality and his desire for revenge.
The knight's protection included protection for the feet that looked like heels although Kojima made the feet areas more useful.
