Medieval Boot

Picture of Bohemond's Medieval Boot

The Medieval boot is derived from the "Stepping through Time, Archaeological Footwear from Prehistoric Times until 1800" and is classified as a front laced (type 60) and a instep toggle fastening (type 35). Found in Dordrecht, Maastricht, and Vlaardingen, Konstanz, and most of Europe, this is a classic 14 century boot. The Medieval Boot is representative of many similar types of boots dating from 1150 to 1500.  It is very similar to the Konstanz buckle boot (type 85).   The Medieval boot  is the perfect generic nobleman's boot of the middle ages.

Although the original was a turn shoe, this boot is McKay stitched, and the pattern of the shoe is almost exact, with a few minor changes for modern comfort.  Each of these boots is made of 3 to 4 oz cow hide leather or equivalent,  leather sole, all sewing is machine overstitched. Instructions will be included to help you set the medieval boot up as either a type 35 or type 60.  If your would like the toggle or type 35 version, you will be given instructions for making your own toggles and fitting them as non are included.   

The medieval boot  is perfect for middle ages living history, 100 years war, war of the roses, historical reenactments groups, LARP, and the SCA.
