hurricane Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 The only challenge I'm having is fitting the included buckles onto the shoes. The buckles are 3/4" and the place where I would have them centered is 1". Ideas for those that have then or when they get them? I have the earlier version by the way, what they call the "Early Period". -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

hurricane Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 They are crocked. Thankfully, for each of me footies were slightly different. Man, they are comfortable, right out of the box!

I have the earlier version by the way, what they call the "Early Period".-- Hurricane I recall a photo on page 2, 3, or 4 of this thread where someone commented on the buckle "not being centered, is that period or not?" (or something t' that effect) As I recall th' conversation went on that th' shoe wearer stated that "due t' me foot shape centered buckles always hurt..." (or something t' that effect) So, perhaps it t'was naught just a 'comfort factor' t' have th' buckles offset?? Perhaps it also be for th' buckles did naught fit if centered?? Hey, this is all Good Stuff - I am naught th' first! Ye all get t' figure it out before mine arrive!!!

Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Yessir, that was me. The consensus is that the shoe that was shown did have an offset buckle and so this woud be OK if someone chose to do so. For me this would be necessary because I'm weird allover.

MadL Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Hmmm, well I naught be do'n nuthin till mine arrive as me feet naught be 'wierd' but they do me odd...and different sizes too. But I too have found some shoes hurt th' top o' me foot depend'n on their make 'n shape so I think perhaps an offset buckle would have its advantage in that area. ~All skill be in vain if an angel pisses down th' barrel o' yer flintlock!

hurricane Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Yes, mine are smooth side out. I was thinking of just doing them off center, since then the buckles make sense and would work just fine. And on this particular model of shoe, it looks better than centered, at least on my pair. -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

TheBlackFox Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Cyn and I traveled out to the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire and ran across "Magic" Miller who hand-makes boots out of his Texas lair. For just a bit over $300 I picked up some deer-skin pirate boots that may be the most comfortable boot I've ever worn. They are incredible. Buying from Magic isn't just a purchase, it's an adventure. He spent the better part of a half hour showing us the ins and outs of good bootmaking (while flirting with Cyn). It was a great experience and I can't tell you enough how fine the workmanship is on the boots and how great they look and feel. www.regalboots.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty Bottles Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 At least one of the shoes found in the wreck of the Belle had off-set buckles - so we can prove that it existed in N. America during our time period. The Master's Thesis that catalogs the shoes of the Belle "The time was when ships passing one another at sea backed their topsails and had a 'gam,' and on parting fired guns; but those good old days have gone. People have hardly time nowadays to speak even on the broad ocean, where news is news, and as for a salute of guns, they cannot afford the powder. There are no poetry-enshrined freighters on the sea now; it is a prosy life when we have no time to bid one another good morning." - Capt.

michaelsbagley Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I am no where near an expert on the matter... But all of my research on the topic seems to indicate that it was during the Elizabethan age, and the years following that shoes changed from "turned shoe" construction to welted construction... By the late 17th century, I am fairly certain that most (if not all) shoes were being made in a welted fashion. I think (going from memory here) that welted shoes even start to appear as early as the reign of Henry VIII. But again, it seems as if turned shoes remained dominant until around the turn of the 16th to 17th century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
