Army Shoe: Made with the rough side of the leather "out." This was
the practical, common shoe of the period since the smooth side of the leather
"in" made a natural lining, and the rough side of the leather out does not show
the scratches and wear as readily. A wax or grease would be applied for conditioning and
water-proofing. We suggest clear Kiwi wax.
Price: $120.00
American Shoe: These have the smooth side of the leather out for the officer or
the civilian gentleman.
Price: $120.00
Hessian Shoe: The original plans for these interesting shoes were given to me by
Lt. Col. Peter Boehm of the West German Army. Note the higher counter, the
"wings" on the long tongues; the unique flattening of the toe fronts. The
latchets were placed farther toward the back than in most other shoes of the period.
Price: $140.00
Gentleman's Civilian Shoe: A natural russet color with rough out leather. Has a
square toe and is bound with darker brown leather trim
Price: $120.00
Civilian Shoe: 1727 era from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. These are made from
calf leather with the rough side "out." Note the unusual shape of the quarters,
the quite low heels and the lack of grommets in the lacing holes. Available in medium
brown color.
Price: $120.00
17th Century Shoe: These have the correct cut-outs in the sides. They are available
