You take a look at Westland's pricing and we will match it or come pretty darn close, so it really depends on what you are ordering and the sole options. For Instance Viking 2 Toggle Boots are $45 on Westland site, We match at $45 14th Century Laced or Buckled $45 Luxury Calf Boots we can do for $12...

Sadly, I haven't had the time to play with the bazubands or any other new projects. My help keeps going away, then I hire new guys. It is tough to keep good hands these days. So most of the time it is just me these days making stuff. I get the kids to help some, they are becoming pretty good at some...

That looks like a cool project. I don't have any elk or moose, but do have some pieces of regular cow leather that might be used. I bought out a motorcycle shop years ago and have crates of leather scraps. Most of it black of course. I will look to see what I have. Would you be willing to use regula...

We are placing the regular vibram soles or new lugg...

Have received orders for several pairs, they are in the works fellows. Patternweld, I received yours and they are in the mix as well. Nice dye job on the reds by the way. Still have a good supply of boots and shoes folks, give us a shout if you need footwear. Also, will extend discounts to groups or...

Pics of the soles are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/vikingleathercrafts/sets/72157629201374076/ We have added the options on each shoe with vibram soles as an option, but can add these to any boots with a regular welted sole. Just give me a shout if you don't see it or if we haven't gotten to t...

Just a heads up, that if I don't answer emails too quickly, that we are taking a short jaunt over to North Carolina in search of leather. I may have found a good source for some leather, so thought I would just make an extended weekend out of it and give the guys a few days off. Will be back in the ...

Can't ask for any better feedback than that. Thanks fellows. More to come, we have been adding items daily. I have just received a large box of brass parts including some new buckles and chapes. Will get them up on the site soon.

Hey Patternweld,

You got a pair you want retrofitted? The offer still stands for folks that were on the bubble of when we started offering these. Just give me a shout.

I have uploaded some pics on Flickr for the lugged soled boots for you fellows to see how they look on the different style boots. I will add these onto the site this week. If you have questions, just give me a shout. http://www.flickr.com/photos/vikingleat ... 201374076/

Don't hesitate to make a purchase from Thorthor's Hammer. He does excellent work. We carry quite a few of his buckles on our site. Very well made and he is an easy fellow to work with.

Caladin, I appreciate your concern with Westland as there has been several issues in the past. That is the very reason I started doing business with them. They have a great product, but at one time suffered in the customer service department. Several issues arose and they lost business I am sure. I ...

Sent you a PM Heath,

As far as putting on another pair of vibram soles, it would be the same price, $10. That covers the rubber cost and a little time.

Frank

VikingLeather

Just a watchout for you guys wanting to do these yourself. You have to sand off the bottom of the boot, so you need a belt sander. You will need a super sharp cutter to cut these thick soles. There is a safety issue here with fingers being in close proximity to sharp blades and the material being ha...

You can send an email of you shoe size and zip code and I will send a paypal invoice to you, or will try to get them on the site this weekend.

These soles are available if you want to put them on yourself. Cost will be $20 for the sole by itself. I charge $5 for installing them. Will need the size of the boot to send the proper size of course. I will place a pic of the pair of boots with the soles on. They are a little more noticeable, as ...

We have run a trial on these soles and think they are going to do just fine. We have had some folks wanting to fight in period boots but are worried about sliding about. We have fitted up a few pairs of boots and tried fighting in them and they are doing fine. A few Archivers are testing them out as...

Glad you fellows like your gear.

Makes me happy

And may I add that both these gentlemen were the best of customers. Told us what they wanted, gave measurements very quickly. Paid very quickly. Thanks fellows. When you need us again, we will be here.

Oolak, Give me some dimensions and I will send you some leather. I have quite a bit I am cutting into lamellar plates, and there is some that is too thick for them. Might be right down your alley. No use in buying an entire side to get what you need. Give me an idea of size of what you need in the p...

What are you making that you need a 16 ounce leather. It is hard to come by a full side of 16 ounce leather as most is leveled down. The most consistent hides are the US steer hides running a 13-15 ounce, but you get 16-20 in the butt sometimes. Imported hides are what Tandy sells as well as most le...

We have been installing the regular vibram soles on some of our boots for fighters using them inside this winter that will not be rough on gym or carpeted floors.

The only thing about the belt you pictured, is that it sits on the hips, not protecting the kidneys. The pattern, is patterned from the one pictured in TOMAR, Techniques of Medieval Armour Reproduction. Pitbull makes a similar belt as well. We make these to order, offer embossed edges, and they are ...

Thanks, I am glad you liked your boots and belt. I did make a few screw ups in trying to rush to get the packages out. Talk to the one guy with 2 Right Footed Shoes on one end of the US, and the guy with 2 Left Footed Shoes on the other end of the US. Oh well. So a pair is 2 shoes correct? It is jus...

VikingLeather

Sure we can adjust the pattern for you. You will have to give me exact measurements, or were you just wanting one hole centered up on the flat edge instead of the 2? Send a PM or email to sales@vikingleathercrafts.com and we will make sure we get set up for what you need.

You want $20 for the first 3 belts total? If so, I will take them. It its each, I will pass.
