I had the good fortune last summer to take a trip that included the Royal Ontario Museum. Thanks to the guidance of some of the members of this list, I was...
Do you suppose that after Pennsic you could post them to the group so that us poor slobs who can't make it to the war can at least get a look at your pictures?...
What a wonderful opportunity! Would there be any chance post-Pennsic of posting the pics (or a selection of them)? Alas, Pennsic is not in my future this...
Hi Marc, I need to make a better set of lasts too. Do you know of sources? I know they keep one in York, but are understaffed and denied me access - useful. Do...
I can't do that until I have permission from the ROM. I would not want to upset them and have them restrict access by others to their collection. And I will...

Yes, I have observations. Lining is one of the things that I took particular note of. Last question first. Yes, there was a drinking-size leather tankard....

Today I came across a photo of a last and turnshoe from an early 11th c. site on Palatru Lake in the French Alps. I had not seen this one before. Don't know...
... Cool - I hadn't seen this one. Even in the 11th century, you can see the beginnings of the shaped waist and the hint of a toe spring. The heel being...

... REAAAALLLLY? hmmm. I think it's time for another drop in to the museum again. :-) If you get the time to get up this way, let me know in advance. It'd be...
OK - I've finally decided to work on my prototype footwear. Now I have a problem - due to excessive sideways foot 'roll' I need a hard (-ish) heel cup,...
thank you everybody, for all the info - and again it is time for a serious remake of my equipment - groan. cheers, Ana [Non-text portions of this message have...
Just for the giggles, I have called the Bata Shoe Museum and spoke with the Curator. She doesn't recall having a shoe last older than 19th century, but she'll...

Hi everyone. I am a 15th centuary reenactor and I am trying to find someone who can make me some leatherworking tools from that period. A long time ago I had a...
I made some shoes many years ago for someone with the same problem. I made the cup by blocking some thickish leather into the shape of the persons heel so that...
