Description

These authentic Medieval Turnshoes, carefully handcrafted from high-quality leather were quite famous in the Middle Ages. These ankle-high shoes, with their side-laced closure, are based on archaeological finds and manuscript depictions, making them an excellent choice for historical enthusiasts seeking accuracy.

Worn throughout Europe from the 9th to 15th century, turnshoes were the standard footwear for both men and women, from peasants and craftsmen to merchants and soldiers. Their simple yet effective design makes them lightweight, flexible, and extremely comfortable for long days at markets, fairs, or reenactment battles.

Each pair is hand-stitched and made with natural leather. Whether you’re preparing for a Viking festival, SCA event, Renaissance fair, or medieval reenactment, these turnshoes will give your kit a truly period-correct finish.

Bring history to life with footwear that combines authentic design, practical wearability, and traditional craftsmanship.

Care Instructions:

While these Medieval Turnshoes follow authentic historical construction, they are not designed for modern surfaces like gravel or concrete. The soles were never meant for such terrain in the Middle Ages. For outdoor longevity and comfort, we recommend:

  • Cleaning: Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. Do not soak. Avoid harsh chemicals or modern shoe polishes.
  • Conditioning: Regularly apply natural leather balm  to prevent the leather from drying and cracking.

  • Drying: If wet, allow to air-dry slowly at room temperature. Do not place near a heater, in direct sunlight, or use a hairdryer—this may cause warping or stiffness.
  • Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. Stuff with clean cloth or paper to retain shape.
