Getting ready for walking Hadrian\'s Wall
#15
Quote:I got them made by Sarah Juniper, who has been making ancient replica footwear for over 30 years. [..] her boots are all handstitched - not glued, as a lot of caligae/boots are - and I'm told that those ones fall to pieces, whereas hers do not.
I can vouch for the quality of her shoes. She made my Deurne shoes in 2005 and they are still holding up beautifully!

The only minor point would be that she does not do hobnails. At least she stopped doing that shortly before I bought mine.
