The famous, stylish Bucket Top Boot cuts a dashing sight on anyone. This are seriously well made riding boots, tough, hard wearing, solid. Reinforced at the heel, and hardened at the toe, which means if horse stands on your foot - you've got an outside chance of getting away undamaged. Unless you have a sadistic horse. Thick, hard leather soles, they are working boots, complete with "Butterflies" included in the price to protect against wear from stirrup irons. The real magic is in the imterlace lining inside the leg of the boot, which allows the movement of air up through the boot and reduces the heat and moisture of clammy, sweaty feet inside.
The boot and butterflies are natural leather and stitched. Use approved leather cleaning materials, store dry.
People often ask how to make leather soled shoes safer to walk on. The sticking of rubber carpet grip to the underside of the shoe achieves this and is known to cause authenticity officers to suffer cardiac arrest... :-)

Size: Standard, UK sizes 5 to 12 in stock, black colour only.

A fairly generic medieval pointed shoe. Designed to be tough and hard wearing, these should give you several seasons use, although walking on tarmac tends to lose you cobble nail heads after a while. Triple stitched at the toe and reinforced at the heel, with thick, hard leather soles, they are fairly comfortable and practical at the same time.
The shoe and ties are natural leather and cobbled together using steel nails. Use approved leather cleaning materials, store dry.
Ideally, you should wear Pattens with all medieval shoes, as this will considerably reduce wear and tear on the sole.

An generic latchet shoe, available as a "closed" or "open" (sometimes called a "keyhole latchet") style. Square toed, with thick, hard leather soles. Designed to be tough and hard wearing, they will last if cared for. Comfortable, at least after breaking-in, please note these are not pre-stretched. The image - if you can see it - shows the black "closed" latchet behind and a brown "open" latchet in front.
The shoe and ties are natural leather. Use approved leather cleaning materials, store dry.
People often ask how to make leather soled shoes safer to walk on. Correctly speaking, shoes should be hobbed in metal studs but the sticking of rubber grip to the underside of the shoe also achieves this, just don't let anybody see it... ;-)

Size: Standard, UK sizes 5 to 12 in stock, black leather, limited few in dark brown.
