18th century footwear


Monterey Jack

Recommended Posts

I've failed miserably twice in making my centerseam mocs, so am altering my costuming to include actual shoes from the 1700s. Townsend has some nice ones, but I'd like options. Anyone else know of dealers in period footwear that aren't boots? I'm wearing out my search engine!

Did someone say shoes? Ha! I'm surprised you couldn't find something by scrolling down through this list. You can't throw a stone without hitting a shoe topic here. :ph34r:

Check Greg's site. He has a handle on shoes.

Have you tried the centerseam kits from Smoke and Fire? Lots cheaper than shoes and pre-cut, ready to sew.

Cannon add dignity to what otherwise would be merely an ugly brawl

I do what I do for my own reasons.

I do not require anyone to follow me.

I do not require society's approval for my actions or beliefs.

if I am to be judged, let me be judged in the pure light of history, not the harsh glare of modern trends.
