"Broadside" Long Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 As I have said before, "If the shipping charges aren't shown on line, the companies can tack on whatever they want and you don't know it until it's almost too late! Never, but never buy from places like these, also, there was no indication that their site was 'secure' for credit card transactions - another red flag! Mate RumbaRue, Thanks for the tip. I had no idea the shipping charges would be almost as much as the shoes. That's ridiculous! JasTown also has some very nice 17th-18th century shoes and a big selection of period buckles. They cost more, but are probably a more reputable operation. Or maybe ye could just get some idees of what to look for in the thrift stores.

Black Hearted Pearl Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 Rumba, What size shoe does Boats wear? I found some great period looking shoes at the Thrift store, size 11. Let me know if you are interested. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.
Rumba Rue Posted September 9, 2004 Author Posted September 9, 2004 Thanks Pearl, but I think he wears a size 8. I'm meeting him today over at the local Thrift store to see if we can find something for him. If not, he's going to wear his dress shoes which though not quite correct, but darn close will do much better than those awful moccasins! BTW- Those pegs ye gave Boats are perfect! I think he'll be installing quite of few of them into poles on Friday for set-up at Tall Ships. Good, cuz I'm not bringing my wardrobe rack anymore for people to hang their stuff up on. It's starting to break due to the weight of some of the costumes! Rumba Rue ** **
Rumba Rue Posted September 9, 2004 Author Posted September 9, 2004 Found some shoes at the Thrift store that will suffice. shoes Can't beat $3.00 for them, and they are Italian made, dang heavy too. Rumba Rue **Life happens when you aren't looking**
"Broadside" Long Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 wow! Those shoes are great for $3. And they're already broken in. Bonus! Maybe I should get off the 'net and get meself to a thrift store.

Black Hearted Pearl Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Alas, the ones I have be a size 11. Much too large to swing it. As you seem to have found a pair, I will not bring the size 11. Walking out the door as I speak. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.
