Medieval Latchet Shoe

Bohemond's Medieval Latchet Turn Shoe

Found in "Shoes and Pattens" by the Museum of London and "Stepping Through Time" by Olaf Goubitz, Carol van Driel-Murry and Willy Groenman-van Waateringe this shoe is common noblemen's and noblewomen's shoe during medieval times.  There are five different length of point as described in "Shoes and Pattens", 0 being a rounded toe and .5 being grossly exaggeratedly long points.  The 14th Century Poulaine, Poulain, crackowes, or pike-toed shoe is a great medieval shoe with a .2 toe. The shoe is dated from 1300 to 1500 and fell in and out of favor often. Sumptuary laws were written to govern the wearing of this shoe!

The original is a turn shoe, this version has a McKay stitched leather sole and is identical in outward appearance to the tunnel stitch turn shoe. Constructed of 2.5 to 3.5 oz top-grain cowhide leather, leather laces, leather sole, majority of sewing is machine done and mostly hidden, and the top edge is hand whip stitched with linen thread. This shoe is always in stock!

The Medieval Latchet Shoe is perfect for Middle Ages, living history, historical reenactments groups, LARP, and the SCA.
