Description

Half boots laced with hobnailed double soles korduan red

Shoes of this type were worn by all classes throughout the late Middle Ages and even earlier.

Manufactured using the nail-through method. Almost indistinguishable from a turn-stitched shoe, but much more stable in construction. The upper leather is very supple and extremely stable.

The sole of these medieval shoes consists of two layers of sole leather. Our tread nails have also been worked into the lower sole. This variant of sole finishing, which has been known since ancient times, provides more grip on meadows and extends the durability of the sole.

Finds of these shoes can be found in many museums. Similar shoes have also been found in earlier times. This type of shoe can also be found in the work “Shoes and Patterns” by Francis Grew and Margarethe de Neergaard, where it is dated to 1100-1450.

Regarding color:
The offered shoe is dyed by hand with alcohol-based oil paint and then sealed.

We color the shoes with oil dye on an alcohol base which is a very good solution for a medieval look. Most offered shoes in this price category are painted with colors on acryl base which is a covering color. But medieval coloring meant that the color soaks into the leather and you still see the natural surface texture afterwards. Even if our color has synthetic paint pigments, it exactly does that. It soaks into the leather and gives you this beautiful look as shown in the pictures. Every pair of shoes is unique due to the fact that the pores in the leather soak differently.

The name Korduan red comes from medieval times. Cordoba was the central for red leather in the middle ages for a long time and most of the red leathers came from there.
