Bohemond Baltic Viking Boot for sale
Posted: Wed Aug 31, 2011 11:38 am
Period turn shoes are awesome but after several days of walking around at Pennsic I decided that I needed something with a hard sole.
I have been needing new boots anyway so I headed to Bohemond's
He didn't have exactly what I was looking for so I bought a pair of his Baltic II Viking Boots (not 100% period but based on a period pattern) with a vibram sole.
I couldn't fit my foot thru the throat of the size 11 (my normal size of shoes) so I bought a pair of size 12's.
They were nice and snug at first but after 5 days at Pennsic they stretched (which would have been fine if I really had a size 12 foot) (to be honest they were only worn a few evenings, I never fought in them)
They are kinda useless to me at this point so I am hoping someone with a size 12 foot might be interested in them.
I paid $125 and like I said only wore them for 5 days so I am hoping to recoup most of the cost but will consider offers for a little less.
Here is his page on the boot I bought

If your interested let me know, I want to try to sell them fast so I can pay a local bootmaker to make me a new set that will fit:)
To be clear I don’t hold Bohemond responsible for this, it was an impulse buy, I expected some stretching, just not so much.
There is nothing wrong with the construction or material, at the time my feet made the decision for me instead of my brain;)
