Viking Shoes, Turn-Sewn
Viking Shoes, Turn-Sewn  Ref: SH/31290102
These ankle-high shoes replicate archeological finds in Haithabu (near Schleswig). They are dated around 900 - 1150 a.d.
A turnshoe was a type of footwear made of leather that was used during the dark and middle ages. It was so named because it was sewn together inside-out, and then was turned right side out once finished. This turnshoe has a triangular heel piece and is laced around the leather, which makes it specifically viking.

Details:
- the upper leather is 2 mm thick, made with non-chemical-based tanning methods
- 4mm thick leather sole, also with vegetable tanning
- hand-made in the authentic turn-sewn method
- thickness of sole: approx. 5 mm
- colour: light brown

Attention!
These shoes' durability is not comparable to modern footwear. They are sensitive to asphalt and gravel. We recommend shoe inserts, padding or wearing pattens.
