Medieval Low Leather Shoes – 12th to 15th Century
Comfort and Period Look
The shoes are made of quality cowhide with a thickness of approx. 2.5 mm. This material thickness ensures that the shoe holds its shape while beautifully adapting to your foot with wear. A distinctive aesthetic element is the decorative stitching along the entire upper rim and instep, adding elegance to the shoes. The fastening is managed by a leather thong on the instep, allowing for easy slipping on and adjustment to the height of your instep.
Historical Construction and Maintenance
It is important to know that these shoes feature a soft leather sole construction, corresponding to historical reality. In the Middle Ages, people felt the surface they walked on. However, this brings specifics for modern use.

Recommendation for Long Life
The leather sole is authentic, but on modern surfaces (concrete, asphalt, gravel), it wears out very quickly. Additionally, it is slippery on smooth tiles or parquet floors. We strongly recommend that customers have the shoes soled with a thin rubber layer by a local cobbler immediately after purchase. This small modification is visually almost unnoticeable but will significantly extend the life of the shoes and increase your safety.
Care: Leather is a natural material. Treat it regularly with quality leather grease or beeswax to keep it soft and resistant to moisture.
