Mrs Rurik and I visited a reenactment event - Loxwood Joust - yesterday. The first one we've been to in nearly fifteen years. The smell of the woodsmoke, the clash of steel, the bark of hackbutts and even more so catching up with old friends brought all the memories flooding back. The upshot is that I've been bullied
into going back to the fifteenth century again. One thing I will be needing (a pair...two things?) is boots, and more relevant to this forum I'll be going to an old reenactor colleague for some knee length buckled boots - http://www.philfraser.com/kneeboots.htmThese are a fair copy of turnshoe construction but with an external sole and slight heel. Soles are a bit slippy at first but can be roughed up or modern stick on soles added after purchase. Made to measure and currently £140.
May not be strictly appropriate for Rangers, but for men of Gondor, Rohan or Dale perhaps? And Phil also does other boots/shoes, belts and pouches.
