Questions about the product Reverse-stitched ankle boots - handmade in the High Middle Ages

What material are these turn-sewn ankle boots made of, and what should you consider when choosing a shoe size if you are between two sizes?

These turn-sewn ankle boots are made of natural-colored cowhide leather. When choosing your shoe size, it is recommended to choose the smaller size if in doubt, as the leather is very soft and will stretch and adapt to the foot with wear.
How are these turn-sewn ankle boots fastened, and for which historical period or era are they particularly suitable?

These turn-sewn ankle boots fasten with a triple toggle closure and feature a seam across the instep and a rounded heel. As historically accurate reconstructions, they are particularly suitable for portrayals of the High Middle Ages, specifically the period from approximately 1000 to 1250 AD.

These turn-sewn ankle boots for the High Middle Ages are crafted based on archaeological finds from Schleswig and Constance. Made of hand-worked cowhide, they are suitable for an authentic portrayal of the period from approximately 1100 to 1400 AD. Since turn-sewn boots are sensitive to modern surfaces such as asphalt or gravel, the use of wooden overshoes is recommended for protection.
What special care instructions should be observed for these handcrafted reversible shoes to ensure the longevity of the leather and sole on modern surfaces?

To ensure the longevity of these handcrafted turn-shoes, please observe the following care instructions: - Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For heavier soiling, use a slightly damp cloth, but avoid soaking the leather.

- Drying: Allow wet shoes to dry slowly at room temperature. Stuff them with newspaper to help them retain their shape and keep them away from radiators or open flames, as these can cause the leather to become brittle.

- Leather care: Regularly apply a thin layer of leather grease or leather oil to keep the leather supple. Massage the product in well and remove any excess.

- Protection on modern floors: Because turn-shoes do not have modern rubber soles, they are subject to significant wear on asphalt or concrete. To protect the soles, we recommend having leather or rubber insoles fitted by a cobbler or using wooden overshoes.

- Storage: Store the shoes in a dry, airy place and avoid plastic bags to prevent mold growth.
