I second the recommendation for both Medievalshoes.com and historicenterprises.biz-- their work is excellent and accuracy invaluable. I have shoes from both--my most recent from Medievalshoes, and they're yummy!<br><br>

<div style="font-family: verdana,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><div>Comrades,<br><br>Which vendors makes a sturdy and reasonably accurate, off-the-rack medieval ankle boot? I know there are several excellent vendors who do custom work, but I'd like to have something in time for Tournament of the Lily. I'm looking for a pattern that doesn't chain me too obviously to any one time period and where I have the option to add on a discreet modern sole.<br>
<br>Who should I seek out and who should I avoid?<br><br>many thanks,<br><br>Tancred<br></div></div> <br><hr></div>New Windows 7: Find the right PC for you. <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/pc-scout/default.aspx?CBID=wl&ocid=PID24727::T:WLMTAGL:ON:WL:en-US:WWL_WIN_pcscout:102009" target="_blank">Learn more.</a></div>
