Viking Skjöld shoe, brown

Viking half-boot from the period 800–1100 AD. The shape corresponds to a find from Haithabu. The triangular shape is characteristic of this type of shoe. The sole rises to the heel. The shaft extends well above the ankle. The shoes are closed with four leather toggles. The entire shoe is made of vegetable-tanned natural cowhide. The sole is nailed all the way around and is extremely stable.

Attention:
The durability of shoes based on historical patterns may not meet modern requirements! They are quite sensitive to asphalt, concrete blocks, and gravel. These floor coverings didn't exist in the Middle Ages! Therefore, we recommend using boots, insoles if necessary, or fitting them with rubber soles from a shoemaker of your choice.

Details:
- Material: Vegetable tanned cowhide
- Upper leather: approx. 2.5 mm
