Product description
These ankle boots are inspired by excavations conducted in the northern English city of York, the former Jorvik. They date back to the 9th-10th century - a period when England was divided into numerous smaller kingdoms. During this time, the Anglo-Saxon population had to constantly fend off Viking raids, and many Vikings settled in England. York was also conquered by the Danes and ruled by the Norsemen for over a hundred years. Because these shoes align perfectly with that era and location, they can certainly be referred to as Viking shoes. They feature two distinctive rolled leather toggle buttons, allowing the shoes to be fastened and individually adjusted. Please be aware that the durability of shoes based on historical patterns may not meet modern standards. They are sensitive to surfaces like asphalt, concrete, and gravel, which did not exist in medieval times. Therefore, we recommend wearing "trippens," possibly with insoles, or having them retrofitted with rubber soles by a skilled cobbler. Additionally, we would like to emphasize that leather is a natural product and variations in color and grain are quite common. This is why each pair of these leather shoes is unique, and the above images are for illustrative purposes only.
