This Jorvik Boot or York Boot as it is sometimes called is based on the originals found at the Coppergate dig at York (10-11th centuries) is fashioned with an overlap closure and secured with two toggles for adjustment of any ankle size.
The thick sole allows for a pair of boots that are hand stitched with proper period stitches and techniques, which are very durable and comfortable. This sole is also ideal for mounting a vibram sole for customers engaging in SCA or reenactment combat needing extra traction.
The leather used in making these boots is tanned using the centuries old oak tanning process using only natural barks instead of harsh chemicals used in modern tanning processes. This process provides a supple leather with a pebbled leather finish for a nice period look. This really brings out the natural beauty of the leather.
Made with 3-4 ounce top grain cow hide, natural leather inner soles and a thick 12 ounce leather outer sole, all sewing is hand stitched and the toggles are fitted through a slit hole on the overlap closure.
These shoes run true to US sizes.  Order your regular shoe size.
The shoes are made for a regular width foot.  We can stretch to accommodate a EE width, but you must tell us when ordering.
** We also offer to add rubber soles to your shoes for traction and longevity of your period shoes. You may choose that option as a separate item under rubber soles**
