LF off the shelf 15th cent mens shoes/boots

Post by Sean Powell »

Hello,

I'm lending / giving away some of my Westland 14th cent shoes to a friend for gulf wars. I was thinking of ordering replacements from http://www.vikingleathercrafts.com/
but hit 2 stumbling blocks.

A) I'd like to be a bit more authentic and I know the nailed soles are not accurate for a turn-shoe.
B) I do mid 15th cent and the shoe selection has a lot of 13th and 14th cent options and then jumps to 16th.

For someone who looks more at sabatons then shoes, who are the reputable suppliers for mostly accurate 15th century reenactment shoes?

Thanks!
Sean
