Our group portrays Elizabeth's court around 1575. Our costumer is VERY particular and she approves these.

I noted that Pilgrim Shoes is one of the official vendors for their Tudor/Elizabethan reenactors and actually sells from a booth while the reenactment is open. That Kentwell use them is a very strong endorsement in my book - unless I'm wrong Kentwell has very exacting standards, right? Re: Melanie's rec. of Sarah Juniper and others rec.s of Plantagenet - both appear both sturdy and beautiful/accurate, but a bit above what I can spend right now! Right now I'm leaning towards Armlann - good prices for handmade and I could trace my feet around arch supports for added support. Also they appear to do a leather sole, which might help me more closely replicate period fencing footwork. Keep the experiences coming, but thanks so far to all with their recommendations. > > Karen > Seamstrix.
