I finished my medieval leather shoes! They’re called “bog shoes” because archaeologists found them preserved in bogs. They’re also called “ghillies”. Each shoe is made of a single pieces of leather that I cut into tabs all around and punched holes to pull the leather thong through to lace it up. Much thanks to my SCA Arts and Sciences group for holding the shoe workshops :D #SCA #societyforcreativeanachronism #bogshoes #ghillies #medieval #medievalshoes #leathershoes
I really need to get around to making something like this.
These are mine. The pointed toes are a French style (if I remember right). They’re pretty easy. I even have a paper pattern for ‘em somewhere. Pretty sure I have a pattern for the standard round toe too. It may be in Ted’s size, but I think it’s just an even scale to make ‘em smaller. I really want to make paniers so I can actaully wear these to events!
omg those are fantastic.
i have seen a few people wearing these, they seem like an achievable pair of footwear..
