I took a solitary trip to the NY Renfair today (a scouting mission for our assault later in the season) and took some pics of the smith and the bladesellers.
I had orderd a pair of moccasins from a Peruvian shoemaker, that arrived about 2 monthes ago (I know I cheated, but not every ranger is a cobbler either) and I put them to a breakin test today. They were comfortable throughout the day. They are a little large, I requested them that way because of a prior water/shrinking leather issue and didn't want to take any more chances with my feet. I'll just add a little tissue paper to the toe area and they'll be just fine. I took the chance with these mocs as the price was exceptional, they go for about $180 now (shipping included) and I paid $140 when I ordered mine, compared to about $500+ for the better known US makers. If anyone wants the website just pm me.
