Freiman is Correct. This not a RPG website. I live in Missouri and to my knowledge there is NO Larp group of any renown in the KC area.

the best way I have seen it done is you have to water soak the rattan and then clamp it in gig and let it dry to the desired bend.

From my local(semi local) byzantine guru. He says that only the Emperor was able to wear SOLID RED BOOTS. Basically it was a fashion status thing.
