Turn shoes are by far the most common form of shoe for the middle and dark ages. Capable of being constructed with only basic sewing skills but 0 shoemaking knowledge, the turn shoe was an easy and reliable method proven by its popularity.
These ankle shoes are made of beautiful, soft supple leather. These are handcrafted leather shoes using the turn-shoe method, with the correct period style tunnel stitching. The sole and upper were joined together inside out, and then turned right side out. This put the stitch between the outside of the shoe and the sole above the sole, improving the shoe's resistance to water. This type of shoe was usually fastened by a drawstring or lacing.
The shoes you receive may have a darker colour of leather than the ones pictured. Footwraps not included.
Q. Why has Fight Club made a custom measuring system?
A. There are two main reasons.
i. We stock our shoes from all over the world and they don't come as a standard or compatible size that can be trusted.
ii. Some styles may look bigger to the untrained eye, however, pointy toes, flat heels, and even internal stitching can make the shoe smaller than modern shoes made to the same measurements.
Q. How do I find the shoes that are my size?
A. You can either look at the name of the shoe where we will have included a brief code with the size in it. If you see a shoe type with the size (Size E) it will translate to size length "E". Alternatively you can browse through the size category, which are sorted first by width and then by length.
Q. Can I just guess my size based on my modern shoes?
A. Of course you can. However if you want to get the best fit and to avoid paying for unnecessary postage then we would strongly urge you to follow the method and work it out properly.
