Shoes from the early middle ages, jorvik type

These ankle-high shoes are based on archaeological finds found in the city of york in northern england, the first jorvik. were made. they date back to the 9th and 10th centuries, a time when england was divided into many smaller kingdoms. the anglo-saxon population had to defend themselves against constant viking raids. many vikings settled in england. york was also conquered by the danes and ruled by the norse for about 100 years.

Since these shoes come from exactly this period, they can definitely be described as Viking shoes. A special feature are the two buttons with which the shoes are closed. By the way, these can also be replaced with horn or bone buttons. The sole of the shoe is made of smooth leather and has a small heel.

Please note:
The sturdiness of shoes based on historical patterns may not meet modern requirements! They are quite sensitive to asphalt, concrete blocks and gravel. These floor coverings did not exist in the Middle Ages! We therefore recommend that you use rubber soles from your chosen shoemaker if you walk a lot on hard surfaces. We would also like to point out that leather is a natural product and that variations in colour and/or grain are quite common. Therefore, no two pairs of these leather shoes are the same and the images above are for exemplary purposes only.
