Z, that is the same type of shoe made by The Original Medieval Moccasins company, out of San Marcos, TX. My wife has worn a pair of their moccasins for years (been resoled once in 7 years of almost constant wear.) She also has a pair of their knee high boots.

Check out the re-enactment shoes and brogues—scroll almost to bottom.

Wow! About 25 miles from my house and I never knew! They also have quite a good kilt links page.

Aye, but there's a big difference in price. The ones from Foxblade are about $55 and look like old shoes IMHO.

I've been very satisfied with my two pair of medieval mocassins.

Well, yeah. If I would have remembered to add it to my post.

Brain fart! Sorry about that. Those brogues look very realistic. I suppose that their cost would be similar to those of the Texas place once you add shipping from the UK.
