Step back in time with our meticulously crafted reproduction shoes, inspired by the common man’s footwear from the 18th to early 19th century. Designed with historical accuracy and modern comfort in mind, these shoes feature a distinctive buckle tongue trimmed back and lace holes added for a altered but practical touch.

 

Key Features:

 

  • Historical Authenticity: Reproduction of period-accurate footwear, with tongue and lace holes reflecting 18th and early 19th-century styles.
  • Handcrafted Quality: sewn sole and nailed heel for superior craftsmanship and durability.
  • Lightweight Leather: Crafted from lighter weight leather that closely resembles original examples for a more authentic feel.
  • Comfortable Fit: Designed with historical details while ensuring modern comfort.

 

Fit Information: Our shoes typically run large. We recommend ordering one or two sizes smaller than your usual size. For instance, if you normally wear a size 12 but are actually between 11.5 and 12, select a size 10. Additionally, keep in mind the thickness of the stockings you plan to wear with these shoes to ensure the best fit.

 

Important Note: If your size is out of stock, please allow 4-6 weeks for order fulfillment. For any inquiries regarding stock or order status, don’t hesitate to contact us.

    An excellent shoe for working class impressions.

    This particular style of shoe has been around for a long time. Similar shoes were recovered from the British Tudor warship Mary Rose, which sank in 1545. These shoes are well made and the leather is accurate for the period. I used to work at a historical site that was interpreting the year 1845. During an archeological dig, shoes similar to this type were recovered from a grave that the archeologists inadvertently uncovered. Sizing is spot on, and after a period of break-in these shoes should be very comfortable.
