Well, considering I had a huge problem with maille chausses at DoK, I am considering getting new shoes from viking leathercrafts. I may just go with natural colored leather so I can dye them whatever color I want, I am getting he lugged soles because that will solve my issue with the chausses probably by lacing them between the cracks. Also another reason I want new ones is because my old ones are pointed, the point sorta screwed with my really wide feet as my toes were numb for weeks after wearing them for 2 days at DoK. The 12th century ones seem wider than the 13th and 14th century so I may go with those just for that reason. Only issue is they dont come in black, so thus I should go for natural so I can dye it whatever color I want, or just go with a natural brown color because black didnt exist till the 14th century in Europe. Does anyone got any expierence with the 12th century ones and they LOOK wider, I just want to know if thats just the picture. I dont want to end up with numb big toes again due to them being too pointed.
