I know most shemakers in the UK, and have never heard of Pilgrim Shoes. Something about their pictures just don't look right - shapes too madern, as though they're made on modern lasts, or something. Decent shoemakers in the UK, Kevin Garlick, or Morgan at Plantagenet Shoes - the latter probably the best in the country, and obviously will make whatever style you want, not just catalogue styles. Cost may be a bit more, but as with everything, you get what you pay for. (And, having saved up for my early medieval shoes from Morgan, I have to say, they're fantastic!) D
I'm considering two different vendors to finally get myself some historically accurate Tudor/Elizabethan footwear. The vendors I'm considering are Pilgrim Shoes in the UK: http://www.pilgrimshoes.co.uk/ and Armlann in the States: http://www.armlann.com/. I've heard good things about the latter, next to nothing about the former, but I'm interested in their slip-on style which Armlann doesn't seem to offer. Can anyone offer any anecdotes, experiences etc. for or against? Thanks in advance, A.
