Questions about the product Viking shoes type Jorvik – Authentic reenactment

On which historical model is the Viking shoe type Jorvik based, and for which period of representation is it recommended?

The Jorvik-type Viking shoe is based on archaeological finds from the Viking town of Jorvik (modern-day York, England) as well as similar finds from Hedeby and London. It is recommended for historical reenactments of the Early Middle Ages, specifically the period from the 9th to the 11th centuries.
What different types of soles are available for Jorvik Viking shoes, and what should be considered when choosing the size if you want to wear insoles or thick socks?

For the Jorvik-style Viking shoes, various sole types are available, such as rubber soles, turn-stitched leather soles, or nailed soles. When choosing a size, it is recommended to select your regular shoe size if you intend to wear the shoes with insoles or thick socks. If you plan to wear thin socks without insoles, you should order one size smaller than your usual street shoe size.
What advantages does the turn-sewn construction of the Viking shoe type Jorvik offer compared to modern manufacturing methods in terms of authenticity and fit?

The turn-sewn construction offers maximum historical authenticity, as the upper and sole are sewn together inside out and then turned right side out, so that the seam is protected on the inside. Compared to modern, often glued or machine-made methods, this traditional technique allows the soft leather to adapt perfectly to the individual shape of the foot, ensuring a natural feel.
What care instructions should be followed for the natural brown Viking shoes, and what design possibilities does the untreated leather offer?

Natural leather is highly sensitive and should be treated regularly with leather grease, balm, or special care creams to maintain its suppleness and prevent it from drying out. Before first use, it is recommended to apply a waterproofing spray to protect the porous material from moisture and stains. Because the leather is untreated, it offers a wide range of design possibilities: Over time, it develops a unique patina, but it can also be darkened or colored to suit individual preferences by applying colored oils, waxes, or stains.
