Viking Turnshoe, Brown

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. 

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.
