Description

early medieval half-boots with toggles. Shoes of this type have been worn across all classes throughout a long period. This shoe type is exhibited in the museum of london. It is dated to the 9th century there. Furthermore a very similar shoe type was find in Haithabu, a german early medieval trading center.

We recommend these shoes for reenactment of 9th-11th century, depending on the portrayal.

Almost indistinguishable from a turn-sewed shoe, but much more stable in construction as it features a thick sole which is nailed to the top leather.

Upper leather thickness: approximately 2.5mm
outsole leather thickness: min. 5mm
Upper material: leather
insole: leather
outsole: leather

regarding size:
If you wear the shoes with an inlay sole and thick socks, you can choose just your foot size and it should fit. If you don't use inlay soles or thick socks, then please take them a size smaller so they won't be too big.

regarding color:
These shoe model comes ungreased and undyed. This means you can dye and grease or just grease the shoes. Grease nurtures and protects the leather. Therefore we highly recommend greasing these shoes regularly.
