Mary Diamond Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 So I guess my next question, would it be a "good" idea to get the crappy "colonial" shoes off ebay for $40 and wait 'till next year for expensive, long wait shoes? Lady Brower ~ If you are so interested, the colonial shoes are very similar (if not exactly the same) as the ones I offer. If I may be so bold, below is the link to the thread. https://pyracy.com/index.php?showtopic=11876 YHS, Mary Diamond Oooh, shiny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyBarbossa Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Hmmm... GAoP or not. Tis tough. Well, from what surviving shoes there are, there are some that would pass as GAoP: Anna, Debbie, Martha in the womens (can be unisex) and looks like the majority of them would work well. Instead of using a buckle, use a ribbon or leather string. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed."

Kate Souris Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I just got a wicked deal on a pair of Fugawee Martha's on another forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyBarbossa Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I like the Martha's. Good pick, Kate! :) Did ye get th' bone or the black? If I had the money, I'd buy the Anna, the Debbie, and a couple if not several of the fabric shoes in the Louise style (I think). :::Whimpers::: Now... if they would only make the Jas Townsend ladies style in cloth. :) ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

LadyBrower Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 "On Sale" is quite appealing to me as well. Plus, I am not sure HOW long I can wait for perfect shoes. Certainly not 6 months or a year... I recall people saying something about that kind of wait. *eek* I'm just not so patient barefoot in cold weather. So I guess my next question, would it be a "good" idea to get the crappy "colonial" shoes off ebay for $40 and wait 'till next year for expensive, long wait shoes? Or should I get the Connies and upgrade when my "allowance" gets an increase? And is there a shoe more appropriate than the Connies (even though I really love them). *sigh* Lady Brower, I think you might be confusing the debate about the mens shoes from Loyalist. If they are in stock, Fugawee's take about a week to arrive. At least they did when I placed an order last week. No one has complained about my shoes being inappropriate and I have the connie's. As I mentioned before I believe the Barbara is also a popular and appropriate shoe for females. Ah. Yes, though I knew it was loyalist that took a good deal of time, I did not realize this was only men's shoes. I understand now. I think I will take advantage of the sale for Fugawee.

Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Fugawee Concords are right/left last, Ligioners (sic) are straight last. I have the Ligioners and have tied them until I recently added new latchets to accomodate GoF's buckles. I don't forsee any problems with PC, thats why we carry sharp pointy things and things that goes BOOOM! I really prefer my shoepacks though, but not very pyratey. Up late, insomnia, classes tomorrow, head-spin, I'm a wreck folks. Wasn't gonna post fer awhile but got nowhere else to go. Dang, I need a new life.

What do you think of the Gentlemen's shoe I referenced? Is it not right? I quite like it. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective.

(And nobody wants that, trust me.))What do you think of the Gentlemen's shoe I referenced? Is it not right? I quite like it. It's a good deal (pricewise), and just as correct as any of the Fugawees. If you and BlackJohn are a like foot size, I would jump on that. In fact if you and BlackJohn aren't a like foot size, please let me know if he is willing to extend that offer to someone who may be his size... Like me!

Cpt Sophia M Eisley Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) Got a pair of Anna's in the mail yesterday. They fit nicely, though the fit around the heel and ankle is a bit higher than I'm used to. An insert should help lift my heel and provide a good fit.

LadyBarbossa Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 :::Whimpers;;:: Wish I could afford at least one of the Sarah Junipers. Oh, well. They look like fabulous shoes. Look more like th' real ones ye see from the museum images. Alas, Godwin doesn't have many images up of their footwear. Aye, I can again vouch for th' shoes that Mary Diamond be selling! They are THE perfect shoes to purchase, not only for a money pinch (you can get two or three for the price of one Fugawee) but if you don't want to ruin your $100 pair. Example, an inch or so of rainwater on nice leather shoes. Need I say more? ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed."

LadyBrower Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Darnit! I was typing something and the whole thing disappeared. Anyway. I'm about to (finally) order my shoes from Fugawee and I just noticed that the men's only come straight lasted in the ligonier model.... I guess my question is should I go for the left rights on fugawee and save some money, or buy the straight lasted from JAS-Townsend? What is the "best bet"?

michaelsbagley Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Evil? I thought they were good? Is there a better option within reason? Gosh shoes are frustrating... I think what BlackJohn is trying to convey is the same thing I was a page or two back in this thread... I think I may have annoyed some people using the terms I chose... So this time I will user numbers. Please note, the number I am using are for example only and may not represent the true fact of the matter... Fugawees and/or Jardigans are about 85% accurate for GAoP The Loyalist shoes are about 95% correct for GAoP Both are great, one is just closer to the mark... I hope this more clearly conveys things and my putting numbers to this doesn't offend anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackjohn Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Right. And honestly, when we're out there, I'm not going to be looking at your shoes anyway...

LadyBarbossa Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I guess my question is should I go for the left rights on fugawee and save some money, or buy the straight lasted from JAS-Townsend? What is the "best bet"? Which Jas. Townsend shoes? Ladies have two types - the ones with the heels and is a distinctive woman's shoe and the one's with a flat heel as though it almost doesn't have one looking more like the men's style. I like the women's shoe with the heel. The heel is not as big as some think. It gives some elevation to the heel and I LOVE the squash heel of the shoe. John and Michael said it mighty well. All in all, comes down to what style you like, how much you want to spend, what is comfortable (Fugawee will allow you to return and trade out for a better fitting pair though), etc. Fugawee, Townsend and Loyalist have some of the best period shoes. So either way, you really are not losing out. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!

LadyBrower Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Oh, I'm sorry m'lady, I was referring to the men's shoes from JAS Townsend. I ordered the Connie from Fugawee for myself, I thought they were rather pretty, and I like a small heel, I find them quite comfortable. I did go for the concord for my husband. They look pretty good and I hope they will be comfortable. We saved quite a bit of money because of the sale and combined shipping. =) hopefully everything fits and looks good... I just have to find him some buckles now. Cook and Seamstress to the Half Moon Marauders Lady Brower's Treasures, Clothing and other treasures Hell Hath No Fury like the Wrath of a Woman...

Kenneth Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I wear the Concords while I wait for my sweet Sara Junipers... The only thing I don't like is that they get them from Mexico and pay almost nothing for them and then mark em up a ton, so the little kids that make em and us get the shaft while Sancho and Fugawee make bank....suck. I wish I could see that Loyalist shoe in person. "Without caffine, I'd have no personality at all" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
