At Last! Medieval-Style Shoes for children!
IN STOCK

Children grow so quickly! So to spend hours hand making shoes that may only fit for a year or less seems excessive, but to buy expensive custom shoes... well, let's just note that a lot of very well dressed young children are wearing sneakers with their garb.

These shoes, based on a simplified version of a 14th century low boot, have been crafted to what we think is a fine compromise between authenticity, function and cost. Ours are constructed for sturdy wear and are available in red, choclate brown, light brown, black and forest green in full sizes from 4 - 13, and youth sizes 1 - 3.

While not a turnshoe of the kind common prior to 1500, these shoes will last well and are very close in terms of correct appearance. They are exceedingly comfortable and can accomodate a wide variety of foot widths, because of their lacing closures. Unlike turn-shoes, they can be repaired when they finally need it at any regular shoe-repair house. Please note the child size 4 shoes are for young children/toddlers. Young adult size 4 is roughly the same as a ladies size 5

Note as with any piece of medieval footwear, modern insoles are heartily recommended!

Heard at Pennsic:
"I just wanted you to know; these are the most comfortable medieval-style shoes I've every worn! I bought them the first day of Pennsic, and they came through the endless trouping about, the mud and rain, and fighting while still looking no worse for the wear! Tell everybody--these shoes are GREAT!"

Drawn from examples in SHOES & PATTENS and the recent STEPPING THROUGH TIME, Revival is very pleased to offer these shoes just in time for Pennsic! (We'll have them at the War, of course!)

*Some colors in certain sizes may be out of stock.
