These are overpriced, but the most authentic-looking "production" version:

Here're a few illustrations. They can be found here: http://www.personal.utulsa.edu/~marc...OES/SHOE55.HTM .

The styles were believed to be found in Ireland, Scotland, and Scandanavia over an extended period of time.

I'm by-no-means an expert on the subject and gladly would defer to someone of greater knowledge , but these would seem more accurate than the pattern found at Smoke & Fire and the like.

I hope this helps.



Slainte yall,

Agreed! I'm not a fan of the Smoke & Fire pattern (having seen the result at many reenactment events )

The shoe on the upper right looks exactly like the "pucker toe" moc sold by Arrow Moccasin....

Look here. These are very close and are actually called "ghillies" by real shoemakers. It's not a pattern for your particular foot per se but it will get you there.

Hey Caufield. I am going to try to make some of the bog type ghilles. What weight of leather are you thinking about? I am sure you have more knowledge than I. any help would be helpful. I am also thinking about a sgian dubh. Using an old butcher knife, and antler. Again any help would be appreciated.
