This brings up a good point.
Anyone know of any good 18th century shoe sources that
aren't hundreds of dollars? I'm finding that I'm not
even that nuts about shoes I'm finding on reenactor
sites. The heel shape is just SO hard to get right.
That's why I like the slides posted below... but the
open toe is not at all what I want.
That modern shoe looks like the uppers were glued on. I'm told that with
a little effort the bottom half of the shoe can be pulled off and you
can either make new uppers, or cover the modern ones, and glue them back
together. You might even be able to close the toe.
I wouldn't buy a $69 shoe to do that to, but if you can find the heel
shape you like in a lower cost shoe, it might be worth the effort.
