I love how you make these. I used to watch my uncle repair leather shoes on his Last. It was a big thing but i still remember it. He taught me alot about leather sewing and repairing things as we were very poor. Tack

I'm happy to hear that "the broader the foot, the easier to turn", because I have very broad feet.

Hello, I know that it’s an old video but would like to know what leather tools you are using in this and the first part of this video, and where I could get those or similar tools from. I am very interested in the early medieval ages and have already made a whole set of clothes and now i only need shoes, but I cannot find any leather tools that look like the ones you are using. By the way your videos are awesome, I like how well you explain every step😊

Mine are made by the Very skilled black smith Łukasz Szczepański. You will find him at FB :-)

Denne video tutorialen kom i grevens tid! Jeg begynte å jobbe på et nytt par sko denne morgenen :D Dette var en god oppkvikker på det jeg lærte når jeg var på kurset ditt i 2018 :)

Thanks for your videos so intersting for history lover like me. Can you tell us the exact names of the two differents leather you us for the shoescrafting. Thanks for your work.

[@nilleviking3748]

I think goat is the best for the shoes, and also the most accurate. 40% of the shoes in Hedeby are made from that. And always cow/calf in the soles. Most of the leather I saw in Hedeby was as thin as the leather on your hand. So THIN. Goat leather is very dense and very strong! The tiny stitches you see in finds are hard to do in other types of leather because of a looser structure.

Any info of the sole shape? Historic understandings of the point?

[@nilleviking3748]

The shoes I saw in the magasin in Hedeby were almost all made by quite thin leather (not the thick you will see on markets today), except fore in the sole. So I think the point in the heal is there to protect the upper-leather. After the vikingtime the point disappears completely. Instead a new technique adds a heal pease inside the shoes, and often also a little rim of leather between sole and upper-leather. :-)

In part 1 i asked you if you could give me some tips on where you bought your hard leather etc as i want to make my own. Any tips will be awesome. Tack från sverige. (Y)

[@nilleviking3748]

I buy my leather from granberggarveri.no But I know you have a good tannery in Sweeden too.

[@Afterimagedan]

Could you tell is how thick the upper leather is? Also, does it have some stretch? I have tried a pattern like this from a tape pattern and the upper leather ended up bring too small to fit the sole so I think I needed seam allowance.

[@nilleviking3748]

1,7 mm :-)
