| Was severely tempted by these when I looked on your website a couple of weeks ago. Do the 15th century shoes have studs in the soles like the GDFB ones? Great for grip on grass, but slippery as anything on stone and wood floors!!

Hi
they are a solid leather sole with no studs.
Jim has a pair that he trains in, so I will nudge him to give a more detailed review than I can.

| Hi The boots come with a smooth leather sole, with the leather grain in line with movement. They can take a little getting used to but correct use of body weight allows your feet to slide or stick to the floor as you choose. For those who cant be bothered with learning how to use them (which to be fair is most people) they can have a modern rubber sole fitted to teh bottom of them by any shoe repair shop, or if you want to be really historicaly accurate gets some glue and rope and create a grip on the base using the rope in a spiral pattern.
