Members Talonzz Posted June 8, 2009 Members Report Posted June 8, 2009 While looking for garb for our Ren Fest here in Minnesota my wife fell in love with these, but hated the price... I decided I'd give it a try myself... I Ordered some elk leather and started prototyping, first in canvas, then deer leather and tried to figure them out by looking at the photos on the website , a bit of trial and error and finally... Success!!! we think... She loves them. Quote

Members fishguy Posted June 9, 2009 Members Report Posted June 9, 2009 As long as your wife loves them, they are a success. You might want to add another layer of leather to the soles as the deer leather will probably wear through pretty quickly. Quote

I should have told you all this in the original post... I made the finished pair out of a nice, thick, Moccasin weight, Elk Leather. Quote

Members chrlshrdy Posted June 10, 2009 Members Report Posted June 10, 2009 nice work , i wonder if you can sand me a copy of your pattern for those, i woud like to make a pair but in moose skin, i have a friend that make moccasin in that I agree that a shared pattern would be nice. Ever since the nice re-enactment boots I made for myself got moldy I've been wanting to make a new pair, but not the ones I made before. They were a pain to make.

I saw some at a recent Scottish Festival here in TX and want to make some for my wife and myself to wear with our Scottish clothes. They put a sole on theirs made of a composite shoe sole. I understand the prices. The high tops wear $250-$275 a pair and nothing special. Best regards, John aka "Indy" Quote
