What are you wearing on your feet?

[Blue66669]

Some people just use larger fonts LOL... just sayin, is all...

I personally have a pair of 4 button Sandlars. Best boots I could find at my faire that didn't cost an arm and three legs. I don't begrudge anyone their boot and shoe choices, but I love mine!

Ya guess I will be happily sticking to my SCAboots. I've never spent that kind of money on mundane shoes- definitely can't afford it.

[Dinobabe]

The most I have ever spent on shoes was $250, and they were high quality hiking boots with safety features for my profession.  The Ren boots still stand at a $7 Goodwill purchase!!

Off the subject:

Squire Mickey,
Are you a moderator here?
If not, why the red? More importantly, why the larger font? Seriously.

Eric, there are no color or size restrictions on this forum. We just ask that members be considerate with their choices (like not using a size 50 font )

Now back to your regularly scheduled program already in progress...

Tried on some SAndler boots at scarby, they felt great and lots more support then my CABoots sparrow boots. I'm guessing a big part of that is the steel shank and thick soles.

My gf made a good suggestion though, it might be cheaper inthe long run to pay for my caboots to get resoled.

Can I get a steel shank put in them or is that possible?

Talk to the guys a Messina shoe repair. They do resoles on my cowboy boots and my Elizabethans.

I have some 10 year old dream shoes that I keep getting re-soled at our local shoe repair.
The same shoes are available at TRF from a shoe vendor that goes by a different name.
They are slightly tudorized leather maryjanes.
I wish I could remember the name.....?
They are very comfortable with about a 1-1/4" thick neoprene sole.

I also have some Spanish Court shoes with pointier toes that Lady Oren made for me.

It is Marcie's Shoes by Renboots.   I have a pair of the old Dreamshoes and some that have been made by Marcie's...the new ones have a lot thicker soles and are just as awesome.  I paid about $60 dollars for my maryjanes and have owned them for 10 years and wear them all the time, not just at faire.

dreamfarie - how do the sizes and fit run for these? I'm seriously thinking of getting a pair, but am a little nervous about ordering them, as I've never ordered shoes online before, and don't know if I'm judging the size right...

[Lady Renee Buchanan]

I haven't read through 8 pages of responses, so maybe I answered this already, but in March we went to BARF and I bought a pair of ghillies from willin sole, a forum member.

They are the best shoes I have ever had.  I have never had anything so comfortable on my feet, whether for faire or in real life.  I know he has a booth at MN.  As a matter of fact, I have 3 different friends going to MN in September, and just from seeing my shoes (and one gal tried mine on), they plan to buy them.

So, if I answered in the past, here's the latest, and I would recommend these to everybody.  I had dreamshoes (the originals) in the past, and Steve has some from RenBoots, but mine are much softer inside than any others I've ever had or tried on.
