These latchet shoes are crafted from 100% genuine leather, and are durable, flexibile, and have an authentic historical look. The leather is soft enough to shape comfortably around the foot while still being strong enough to hold its shape over time. With use, the leather develops natural creases and character, adding to its traditional appearance.

The design has a classic single latchet strap that crosses over the top of the foot and fastens securely with a solid brass buckle. This simple closure system makes the shoes easy to wear and adjust, providing a snug and comfortable fit. The brass buckle does not rust and will develop a natural patina over time, enhancing the shoe’s medieval look.

These medieval shoes are inspired by footwear worn between 1200-1500 AD across Europe. This style was widely used by townspeople, travelers, and workers because of its practicality and ease of use. The design reflects a shift in medieval fashion, where buckles gradually replaced simple ties, offering a more secure and refined fastening method.

These shoe latchet styles are ideal for LARP, stage performances, medieval events, or historical costumes. Their simple and versatile look pairs well with tunics, dresses, trousers, or full medieval outfits, making them a practical and stylish addition to any wardrobe.
