Product description
The foundation for these calf-high boots traces back to early medieval discoveries in York (formerly Jorvik) and Haithabu (Hedeby). These remarkable leather boots are infused with history, seamlessly fitting into the 9th and 10th centuries, undoubtedly deserving the title of Viking boots. Crafted with artisan precision from exquisite buffalo leather, these boots proudly showcase a blend of top-tier quality and authenticity. The nailed leather soles contribute not only to their durability but also to their genuine historical allure. The side toggles are adjustable in length, allowing for a custom fit around the calf area, tailored to each individual. For an optimal fit and enhanced comfort around the instep and ankle, it's worth considering discreet, minor incisions of about 1 to 3 cm beneath the flap. This subtle adjustment can significantly heighten the overall wearing experience, delivering an unparalleled level of comfort. Immerse yourself in history and tread comfortably and stylishly at your next LARP event, reenactment, cosplay, or medieval and Viking festival. Please be aware that the durability of shoes based on historical patterns may not meet modern standards. They are sensitive to surfaces like asphalt, concrete, and gravel, which did not exist in medieval times. Therefore, we recommend wearing "trippens," possibly with insoles, or having them retrofitted with rubber soles by a skilled cobbler. Additionally, we would like to emphasize that leather is a natural product and variations in color and grain are quite common. This is why each pair of these leather shoes is unique, and the above images are for illustrative purposes only.
