Mary Diamond Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 (edited) As a follow up to my Reasonably Priced Buttons , I humbly offer Reasonably Priced Buckle Shoes and Leather Bucket Boots. My Ladies Size 9 buckle shoes (I wear an 8.5) Available in Black, with Silver Buckles, a trial pair were worn by an Archangel crewe member for an entire long weekend at a juried event, with no complaint. Quality construction is of Faux Leather (that is to say, polyurethane, commonly used for low cost and costume shoes, such as those from PayLess Shoe Source). The shoes feature a dress tread (moderate traction). Available in Men's Sizes S 8-9, M 10-11, L 12-13, XL 14, and Women's Sizes 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 (the same shoe, just sized accordingly). The shoes run a little small, so I recommend the next size up to accomodate socks and a nice gel sole. You will require a shoe horn to put the shoe on, due to the long tongue. For comfort, an elastic band is hidden under the buckle. Price per new, unworn pair is $35 plus S&H (Estimated $8 from Chicago to Utah, to give you an idea). I also Offer (gasp!) Leather Bucket Boots, in Brown or Black. These are 100% pig leather uppers, with an unfolded length from heel to top of 27". Price per pair is $65 **Edit: Due to a Distributors Increase (as of February 27, 2008), I must unfortunately raise the Leather Bucket Boot price to $85** plus S&H. Dog not included. Interested Parties may post here, or contact myself directly. YHS, Mary Edited March 7, 2009 by Mary Diamond Oooh, shiny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Diamond Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 A Pub member kindly contacted me regarding the Buckle Shoes and Sizing. I have since measured the shoes I have on hand, and post the measurements below, to better assist anyone interested. Measurements are made from the widest part of the foot (across the ball of the foot) and from toe to heel, and are minus the eighth inch sole on each side of the foot to give a more accurate representation. Please note that I have done the best I can, but the dimensions should be considered good approximations, as they are external measurements. Mens Size S (8-9) 3 3/4"W 11"L Size M (10-11) 3 7/8"W 11 1/2"L Size L (12-13) 4"W 12"L XL - My apologies, I do not have one on hand to measure Ladies Size 6 3 3/8"W 9 1/2"L Size 7 3 1/2"W 9 7/8"L Size 8 3 5/8"W 10 1/8"L Size 9 3 5/8"W 10 3/8"L YHS, Mary Oooh, shiny!

Iron Bess Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I have a pair of these boots... Very comfy if your on your feet for long periods of time. They work really well for me I can save my dress boots for best and let these take the rigors of Faires. Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abrams Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I'm planning on purchasing these shoes, and from what I see, they look too good to be true. Historically accurate buckle shoes for low price...oh lord, I must be dreaming! I've got the heart of a pirate, just not the garb... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm THE toughest customer about footwear for various reasons. And those boots are fantastic. Better than my old boots. Worth it, mates.

Cheeky Actress Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I purposely purchased a pair just for 'poor weather conditions'. Sadly, we can spend a great deal of money on our period-proper footwear. I would hate to see my shoes take a beating and not last as long as they could due to rain, mud and the like. These are a great alternative! I suggest the next size up and they do have tred on them. Member of "The Forsaken" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeky Actress Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Oh, here's another plus! When doing events, I find myself on my feet A LOT! Going up the next size also makes room for those lovely healthy foot inserts. I managed to get a size 7 (I normally wear a size 6) and a gel insert fit perfectly in them! Now I am set for trudging thru muck and such with comfy shoes! Member of "The Forsaken" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Diamond Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 My Dear Salty, I do indeed have a pair of the Women's Size 9 Buckle Shoes available. I typically wear an 8.5, and the 9 fits comfortably with a heavy sock. Ladies Leather Boots are also available, though I would require additional orders to meet the minimum order (a service charge applies when the minimum is not met). YHS, Mary Oooh, shiny!
