Handmade Viking turnshoes that were a common design during the Viking Age. They come with an adjustable toggle, just as the historical shoes. The upper leather is thin and soft, whilst the soles are thick and sturdy and covers the heel offering extra durability. Measurements of each size are found in the size guide. 

The leather untreated. The shoes can be treated all depending on usage, environment and climate. 

Product number: 4332

Historical shoes obviously do not compare to modern shoes in terms of durability or comfort. Avoid using them a lot on modern surfaces, such as concrete, asphalt, gravel and so forth that can wear down the sole. It is also possible to fit them with insoles to increase durability, comfort and isolation from water and cold. Vikings would have traditionally used thicker wool socks.

Excellent craftsmanship and Quality
Review by Erik H. on 9 Nov 2023 review stating Excellent craftsmanship and Quality
I normally wear a 14EE in chinese made sneakers and boots, but since this is the biggest size you make, I ordered them. It took a bit of tugging but I got them on. Due to my High Instep, I had to wrestle them on. They are about an 1" too long in the toe but if not for that I wouldn't have gotten them on. The price was great and I will use them as a pattern to make another pair that fit me. Excellent craftsmanship and materials in my opinion, and based on my own experience as a bootmaker and leathersmith. All in all, a great option for my use.

They're great!

I've been waiting for these shoes to be back in stock and I'm so happy I was able to grab them before they we're sold out again, they were at a good price and they were shipped here so fast. Most of my Norse clothing has come from Grimfrost and I've always had a great experience with them.

Beautiful leather
Review by Mark B. on 21 Mar 2023 review stating Beautiful leather
These far exceeded my expectations.

One thing I would highlight is that the sizes seem to run a bit small. I wear an 11.5 EE (US) shoe size, so I ordered the next size larger and they fit tight enough to where I can only wear thin socks with them.

So I would recommend ordering a few sizes larger.
