And now, thanks to my friend google, I know that patten means shoe. :)

pattens are the wooden overshoe that you wear over over your turnshoes.

Or under the turnshoe, as the case may be. There are versions that were essentially wooden blocks strapped to the bottom of the shoe.

Yes, they are worn literally 'under' the shoe. But the object is called an overshoe.

Post by: Sir Humphrey on 2014-02-01, 05:59:08: I've tried a couple of their patterns. Poorly engineered for the high price. I wish their was someone making quality patterns for this era like there are for later eras.

Post by: Sir Wolf on 2014-02-01, 14:30:48: i made the type pictured (sandal) and the flip flop. both worked out ok. the only thing i found is that the sandal version has a hinge under the middle of the foot with leather. the nails pull out or the leather rots after a while.

both take some getting used to wearing.
