Making Medieval Turnshoes

These shoes are made for Medieval Combat (HMB/IMCF), which I practice. It took me about 1 week for finishing them, as it is really time-consuming, especially the sole stitching. This is the third pair I have already made, so it took me less time as I already knew how to do them. If it's your first time it can take more, there are a lot of trial&error moments.
These shoes are made to be comfortable and long-lived, so they are not totally a historical reproduction. For example, I used a double sole to be easier to repair them in the future. Also, the lace is more of a modern approach than an historical way of lacing shoes.

If you weren't trying to level up your leatherworking, I feel like you could have saved yourself a whole lot of trouble by killing a couple goblins or skeletons... they drop common boots like that 9 out of 10 times.

@badassfood5713 4 года назад

Hey, instead of glueing both soles together and then sewing them, you should sew the upper to the insole, and then glue on the bottom sole. There are a ton of shoe rebuild sites out there enough to get a good idea how to construct shoes. They turned out great!

@OwlskiTV Год назад

If you're worried about wasting more precious resources like leather, you can always try making these things with more basic/cheap resources (just to see how they fit and to get a handle on how to do it). In substitute of thick leather for the sole can use thicker cardboard, and can use cheap canvas fabric for the top part of the shoe. Obviously it won't be viable to wear, but if it turns out good/fits well, can then use them as templates when making the actual product. In the end, you learn through trial and practice. Don't be afraid to try if you have an interest/want to do this, and don't be afraid of failing (failure is just apart of the road to success). Best of luck!

Hey Christian, love the boots. Really like the double sole, a bit confused how you did it. Love the finished boots and the pattern you made. I did have to snicker a bit, when it came to turning the boot, been there. Not easy with one sole, but double. Rrrgggh ! Now I have another project 😜 Great work !

@I33Craft 4 года назад

Thank your for your comment Robert. The double sole is pretty easy, instead of making the holes diagonally in one sole, I prefer to them side to side in one of them and keeping the other without any holes. In this way, after you have glued them, you can sew like it was a diagonal hole, but in reality it's a vertical one so it's tougher. Turning the boot was quite difficult, in the video I left a few seconds of what it was some minutes of suffering! I hope it's easier for you!

@juice-ev9um 5 лет назад

Could it be possible to get a tools list including the leather types (i.e. sole compared to heel compared to top leather). I would greatly appreciate it!

@I33Craft 5 лет назад

I use two leather types only: the sole is the thickest you can find, I bought it as "sole leather"; the other one is a semi flexible type which I use for a lot of things, like sword sheaths, coin purses, etc... The tools I think that are necessary are: 2 leather needles, awl, rule, utility knife and waxed thread. To mark the stitches you can do it with a ruler too, but you can use the 2 tools I use (I am sorry but I do not know the names). This will only make it faster. I hope it helps you!

@robertsherman9975 4 года назад

The tool to mark from edge to stitching line is a stitching groover, it’s adjustable. The tool to mark the stitching length, stitch spacer. You can get one, that has four different wheels, varying in width. Easy to find online. The “ Sole leather” is veg tanned 9-10 oz. weight. For the upper, I’d use 5-7 oz weight. Flexible, yet firm enough for body. Hope this helps.

@debbylou5729 Год назад

Why didn’t they go to a blacksmith and have them make a press blade that could cut through multiple layers. Like for the heels and large sections of the uppers. Shoes were seldom made (if ever) for a specific person. It also seems like they could’ve attached awls to a larger, fixed handle, used like a press for the holes. I know they were limited, and I’m not describing a sewing machine, just something to lessen the strain. Were blacksmiths only for the rich?

@JennyDarren 9 месяцев назад

It would be good to know exactly what tools you used, plus the exact fabrics/type of stitching cord etc. plus explanations, re the water etc. ( is it to check for stretching/shrinking et cetera? As for the uninitiated, you can’t make these shoes without a list of the fore-mentioned . Wonderful though.

@I33Craft 3 года назад

You are welcome! In order to attach the sabatons you only have to make a pair of holes on the upper part of the shoe, so you can have a leather cord going through and keep them in place. I did it a week ago and it's easy and durable. I hope yours are going well!

What is happening when the shoe is wet and then the broomstick part...? I am totally lost. How long to wet it and why, what does it help? Do all materials need this?

@I33Craft 4 года назад

The shoes need to be wet to turn them inside out, that's why they are called "turnshoes". If they are not wet it is really difficult to do it! The broomstick eases the process.

@mlinecomposites1 4 года назад

S leathers need to be wet out to be more flexible They are soaked for at least a couple of hours, this makes them more pliable. Have u ever seen a tongue for a shoe being made, as the stitches are hidden along the edges? If u take two pieces of leather to make a tongue and decided that you want to hide the stitches along the edge, you would flip the two pieces on the inside then stitch along the edge. Once it’s stitched then take a wood stick, like the broom handle but smaller, and push it in the corner of the leather forcing it to go inward to outward, that’s what he used a broomstick for👍🏾

@I33Craft 2 года назад

Yes, they are. I have been using them for the last 3 years and they are kind of worn off, although the soles can be replaced quickly as they are just glued. Another option is having a plastic sole to make them more durable, some people have them add by a shoe maker.

@Piinkypanter 11 месяцев назад

benefit of the shoe making themself is that if one part of the shoe is broken you dont have to throw away the entire shoe. ..!!! and if you keep blue prints its easy to remake the broken parts. im also looking into making more shoes myself since the shop shoes are also bugging my feet a lot of times XD

I think we all got how to punch holes in the first sole. In fact you could have edited some of that out as well. It wasn't until the upper leather that I understood how you do the spacing. Instead of showing everything in fast forward I would like it much more if you edited out the repetitions and showed the important things thouroughly.
