What different leather colors or color combinations were typical for lace-up shoes in the late 14th century and are available for this model?

In the late 14th century, brown and black tones were particularly typical for leather shoes. Various natural tones, such as light brown or dark brown, are available for this model of late medieval lace-up shoe. Furthermore, two-tone combinations, known as mi-parti (e.g., brown and red), were popular among certain social classes or professional groups, such as entertainers, in the late Middle Ages and can often be ordered as custom-made pieces.
What care instructions should be followed for women's lace-up shoes with a reverse-stitched sole to maximize the longevity of the leather sole on modern surfaces?

To maximize the longevity of the leather soles of your turn-sewn shoes on modern surfaces, please observe the following care instructions: - Regular cleaning: Remove coarse dirt after each wearing with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth.

- Sole care: Regularly treat the leather soles with a special sole care oil or leather grease. This keeps the leather supple, prevents it from drying out, and makes the sole more resistant to moisture.

- Drying: Always allow wet shoes to air dry slowly. Avoid direct heat sources such as radiators, as this can cause the leather to become brittle.

- Protection against moisture: Ideally, new leather soles should only be broken in on dry surfaces initially. Regular waterproofing treatment provides additional protection against moisture penetration.

- Maintaining the shape: Use shoe trees (preferably made of cedar wood) to maintain the shape of the shoe and absorb residual moisture.

- Walking behavior: Since turn-sewn shoes are designed for soft surfaces, walking on asphalt will result in increased wear. A conscious gait or the subsequent application of a thin protective sole by a professional can significantly extend the lifespan.
