Show us your SHOES!

[Lady Kathleen of Olmsted]

I wore my new shoes from Willing Soles I bought at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival last weekend all day on Saturday. My feet felt wonderful!! I cannot explain it. But they did! Well worth the money!!

probably one of my most favorite shoe purchases to date, My friend and I were looking around for some shoes for her to wear she got black ones with just a regular strap around the top of the boot... whereas mine are braided and a little more decorative

They were FANTASTICALLY comfortable, the black ones zip all the way up, the brown ones only zip part way. We wore them all day at MDRF on Saturday and neither of us had tired feet at the end, she has really high arches and will probably get some arch supports for them, but my regular feet were quite happy with them. I can't ask for more from $27 from walmart!

As requested, here is Butch and his excellent shoes! I'll let him tell you about them!

Gem, thank-you very much for posting the pics!  These are a pair of my old USMC shoes that I refinished the bottoms to be leather with hobnails, and shorter heels.  Also, I cut away the lace areas to have only one lace hole which I threaded with a leather thong.

They are quite comfortable, and are close enough to period for my taste!  Sailors wore shoes for the most part, so I wear shoes!

My boots aren't exactly period, but they are fun and piratey. Got 'em from Shiekh Shoes dot com for real cheap and I love them. Boyfriend's shoes are the generic "Renaissance Boots" you can get from pretty much any costume site. I think I nabbed his from renaissance costume dot com. I wasn't about to drop $100+ on shoes for a man who is both picky AND indecisive, lol! Anyway, they do the job.
