Description
These Norse Jorvik Ankle Boots are inspiration from historical finds unearthed in Jorvik—modern-day York—once a major Viking hub in Anglo-Saxon England. Worn during the time of Norse influence in the 9th and 10th centuries, these ankle boots show the practical footwear of everyday settlers, traders, and warriors.
Handcrafted, each pair is made from genuine leather measuring approximately 2.5 to 3 mm thick. The upper is secured by two rolled toggle buttons, a fastening method seen in many period examples, adjusted with a simple loop and lace for a secure historical fit.
Their flat sole is nailed for reinforcement, for good use on natural paths, earthen grounds, and wooded trails like they were worn in the Viking and Saxon world.
Whether you portray a Norse seafarer, a Saxon merchant, or an early medieval wanderer, these Jorvik Ankle Boots complete a truly authentic period appearance .
