The rich, chocolate-brown polished leather affix with two sleek buckles, and are modelled on styles common in Europe from the 13th to the late 15th century. They feature a more rounded toe, and are made with room for even a wide foot. The heel is reinforced to avoid "rolling in," which many copies of my originals do!
They are similar to an example found at Reimerswaal.
The way our leather is cured, the final fit is done while you're wearing them--your foot is the last last! If you wear a half-size, either option is viable, going one half size down or up. If your foot is on the wide side, I'd recommend going up; if more narrow, go down.
As these are based on medieval originals, they have neither insole support nor any extra grip material on the soles. Many people put Dr. Scholl's or similar supports in, though historically, one could stuff them with peat or sheep's wool.
While we only have mens' sizes in brown available now, they will be available in womens' sizes in brown and black by May, 2021. Mens' size 7 is roughly equivalent to a woman's size 9, while a men's size 8 is similar to a 10, though in both cases our women's sizes are a bit narrower.
As "Revival," we sold *many* pairs of similar boots before selling the business, but, since Revival hotsell has since disappeared, we decided to bring a few pairs of these extremely popular shoes back in. Folks report that they are VERY comfortable.
