Questions about the product Medieval strap shoes with brass buckle

What special considerations regarding fit should customers with wider feet take into account when buying these medieval strap shoes?

Since leather is a natural product, the shoes will adapt to the individual shape of your feet over time through wear and regular care. In addition, the adjustable straps allow for flexible adjustment of the fit to wider feet.
How should medieval leather strap shoes be properly cleaned and cared for after contact with mud or moisture in order to keep the material supple?

Medieval leather strap shoes should first be carefully cleaned of mud or wet conditions using a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove coarse dirt. Then, allow the shoes to dry slowly at room temperature, avoiding direct heat sources such as radiators, as this can cause the leather to become brittle; stuffing them with newspaper can aid the drying process. To keep the material supple, massage leather grease or a suitable leather conditioner into the shoes with a soft cloth after drying, and ideally finish with a waterproofing spray to protect the leather from future moisture.
What materials were used to manufacture the brass buckles, and how durable is the locking mechanism under intensive use at medieval markets or in reenactments?

The brass buckles on these strap shoes are made of solid brass or a brass-bronze alloy. As these are authentic reconstructions for reenactment and medieval markets, the fastening mechanism is designed to be very robust and durable to withstand intensive use during historical performances.

- Historically, turn-back shoes were sewn together inside out and then turned inside out, which protected the seam on the inside and made the shoe very flexible.

- Modern construction features a solid outsole with a small heel, which, unlike the flat medieval soles, offers more stability and durability on modern surfaces.

- While late medieval construction did without a separate insole, modern replicas often use additional stabilizing insoles for greater comfort.
