Making Medieval Turnshoes
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- These shoes are made for Medieval Combat (HMB/IMCF), which I practice. It took me about 1 week for finishing them, as it is really time-consuming, especially the sole stitching. This is the third pair I have already made, so it took me less time as I already knew how to do them. If it's your first time it can take more, there are a lot of trial&error moments.
These shoes are made to be comfortable and long-lived, so they are not totally a historical reproduction. For example, I used a double sole to be easier to repair them in the future. Also, the lace is more of a modern approach than an historical way of lacing shoes.
You can find a closeup of the Sole Stitching in another video:

If you weren't trying to level up your leatherworking, I feel like you could have saved yourself a whole lot of trouble by killing a couple goblins or skeletons... they drop common boots like that 9 out of 10 times.
Straight outta eldin ring
For this very reason i stopped playing video games.. for all the things you do in a RPG you end up empty handed... I made my RPG reality and now i have stuff I made to hand down to generations.
Good tip.
Lol, I loved the gamer remark. I too play a bit. Just another layer to my rich fantasy world. Am currently learning felting/hat making.
To be fair, depending on if you get lucky rng, a handcrafted item can have much higher stats than a dropped one
Bravo! After the first one, I'd be like "oh no, I've got to do that all over again?!"
what kind of string do you use
great channel
whats the stitch you made on the sole called? think i might use that! :)
Luke Cola I’m pretty certain, it’s the Saddle stitch. I’ve made three different turn shoes. Very comfortable, form fitting ! The next pair, plan on using Bison.

I was fascinated by how beautiful the threading turned out on the bottom. Those shoes look great!!
Really glad I took the time to watch this. I had to slow down the video to the slowest setting. It was a little easier to follow along but not great. But even with that small issue it was still very worth my time. Thank you for providing this video.
Make some to have ready for the medieval fairs. People would love these shoes, especially to wear there. That’s if you’re not doing so already.
I have thought about it, but it's difficult as they are custom made! Also as it takes a lot of time to make them they would be expensive, not everyone is willing to pay that quantity for some shoes!
@@I33Craft You'd be surprised- I know there is always a booth set up at the Ren Faire which has custom made leather shoes that are expensive as heck, and people buy them because they're unique!
@@I33Craft 100.00?
@@jeffcuevas5918 Custom made, handmade shoes would probably at minimum cost several hundred dollars. Probably much more.
@@I33Craft you can sell workshops of it. let people make their own shoes. Have a working day where you start with each other. a working day inbetween and than a finished product workshop day. i think you can make people do the "dirty" or longer taking parts of the work themselfs....
Could it be possible to get a tools list including the leather types (i.e. sole compared to heel compared to top leather). I would greatly appreciate it!
I use two leather types only: the sole is the thickest you can find, I bought it as "sole leather"; the other one is a semi flexible type which I use for a lot of things, like sword sheaths, coin purses, etc...
The tools I think that are necessary are: 2 leather needles, awl, rule, utility knife and waxed thread. To mark the stitches you can do it with a ruler too, but you can use the 2 tools I use (I am sorry but I do not know the names). This will only make it faster. I hope it helps you!
The tool to mark from edge to stitching line is a stitching groover, it’s adjustable. The tool to mark the stitching length, stitch spacer. You can get one, that has four different wheels, varying in width. Easy to find online. The “ Sole leather” is veg tanned 9-10 oz. weight. For the upper, I’d use 5-7 oz weight. Flexible, yet firm enough for body. Hope this helps.
Hey, instead of glueing both soles together and then sewing them, you should sew the upper to the insole, and then glue on the bottom sole. There are a ton of shoe rebuild sites out there enough to get a good idea how to construct shoes. They turned out great!
Do you know the name of any of these sites? Thanks
@@an7d7y watch franks or nicks boot rebuild thats a really well made shoe with all components
thank you for making this, it was beautifulll. actually, im finding video like this of how to make a boots like this bcos we're going to make one as our product and present it to our teachers, there are some here who can make one for us but it's too expensive so we decided to make it by ourselves, thank you!!!!❤❤
Oh and I'd love to see a slower more explained stitching pattern for the different areas. I'd like to make some
You can use the cross stitching too, I like to make this to make it tougher. Anyway, I can record a video showing how to do it, maybe you'll see it soon!
I would too I liked everything else

hey Im using this in a class Im teaching. do you have any detail of what thickness of leather to use? How much per person should we expect to use? any or all information you can pass along would be great @@I33Craft
Great tutorial, thank you. Can you tell me what thickness of leather you used for the soles & tops? I had been making other things for a craft fair but that has now been cancelled given Covid 19. So having found your tutorial, I wanted to do something for myself. Really appreciate you sharing your skill & craft. Stay safe & well.
Yes, it could be a good time to do them as it takes sooo long for finishing them. Soles are 5mm thick and top part is 2mm thick. I hope it'll be useful for you!
Oh my Goodness, I am freaking obsessed with these. I wish so bad that I had a pair, but I am not sure exactly how much the leather and tools I would need would go for especially considering I would most likely mess up the first pair, but still I REALLY!!! want to do this one day and a Cloak.
If you're worried about wasting more precious resources like leather, you can always try making these things with more basic/cheap resources (just to see how they fit and to get a handle on how to do it).
In substitute of thick leather for the sole can use thicker cardboard, and can use cheap canvas fabric for the top part of the shoe.
Obviously it won't be viable to wear, but if it turns out good/fits well, can then use them as templates when making the actual product. In the end, you learn through trial and practice. Don't be afraid to try if you have an interest/want to do this, and don't be afraid of failing (failure is just apart of the road to success).
Best of luck!
@@OwlskiTV , excelente conselho e bela fala! Parabéns!

I'm using a dremel to make the holes, 1.5 mm... it goes sooo quick! Thanks for this tutorial :D
Why didn’t they go to a blacksmith and have them make a press blade that could cut through multiple layers. Like for the heels and large sections of the uppers. Shoes were seldom made (if ever) for a specific person. It also seems like they could’ve attached awls to a larger, fixed handle, used like a press for the holes. I know they were limited, and I’m not describing a sewing machine, just something to lessen the strain. Were blacksmiths only for the rich?
Way too fast on the ffwd, slow it down as some parts were JUST A BLUR, someone experienced may understand but a newbie will skip right past you!
There's a button for that, in settings. Just press the gear.
Even at .25 its nuts
Here you can find a slower video with the sole stitching:
ruclips.net/video/NogC1qkdzkw/видео.html
The video is OK, but not really the way medieval shoes were made. If you want something close to authentic, Morgan Donner has a video that has all the details of medieval cordwaining
I agree with you, I follow Morgan and that video is really interesting. This is my approach to making boots for Medieval Combat. I just wanted to make them comfortable and durable.
Wow didn't know they had contact cement,plastic wrap and duct tape back then lmao just kidding pretty Kool I might try to make a pair you get a👍
Hey Christian, love the boots. Really like the double sole, a bit confused how you did it. Love the finished boots and the pattern you made. I did have to snicker a bit, when it came to turning the boot, been there. Not easy with one sole, but double. Rrrgggh ! Now I have another project 😜
Great work !
Thank your for your comment Robert. The double sole is pretty easy, instead of making the holes diagonally in one sole, I prefer to them side to side in one of them and keeping the other without any holes. In this way, after you have glued them, you can sew like it was a diagonal hole, but in reality it's a vertical one so it's tougher.
Turning the boot was quite difficult, in the video I left a few seconds of what it was some minutes of suffering! I hope it's easier for you!
Is that what was happening? I thought he was softening the leather sole... Haha! Comments section for the win!
Amazing ! you work so nice and just today I bought leather. and I love the way you made it! I allso would love to see some parts slower ... thank you so much

would have been so much better of a video had you not sped it up to the point that it makes a person dizzy. even slowing it to the lowest setting it was hard to see the details of what you were doing at times (like the stitching pattern etc). nice shoes though. also would be nice for you if you had some kind of grip on the underside of that sole.
This video is great but OMG i need aspirin after watching 15 minutes of high speed . I want to watch some sections at half speed to see the techniques i am looking to learn
It is a pity that you showed making holes for a long time, and everyone knows how to do holes - but the interesting stitching was shown much too fast. I would have liked to learn that. But good work anyway.
Ok, what is that sound in the background? Machines, squeaky rubber, small squirrels, TV?
Instead of showing the whole process but sped up so much that we can't see anything, show parts of the process in detail and skip the repetitions.
Poke two or three holes with the hammer, since that's the faster method. At this point we understand and can move on. Show us how to do the sole stitch a few times. Show us the start and a bit after, and how you finish up, so we can understand how it's done and skip the straight forward part, instead of speeding through the whole thing just to have all of it in the video, but we can't actually see what's happening.
This video is a few years old, I hope your editing has become better since then
I would like to make a pair of them but you move to fast . I really couldn't tell how you where making them . Man I have never seen anyone move that fast .
Great video! Did you base the model and place of the stiches on historical/archeological evidence or did you take a more freestyle approach? Im an archeology student and 'ive found some XV and XIV century soles near an hydraulic forge, and im wondering what kind of shape they could have had
Thank you! That is really interesting! I have partially based these shoes on some Kievan Rus boots, but with some modern alterations. I mainly use them for Medieval Combat, so they are covered with plate armour, I needed them to be comfortable and long-lived. If you have any site to read more about your findings, I would like to know!
@@I33Craft Well what i use is mostly in french but there's also some good texts in CAIRN and Persée, i still have to wait for 6 month before being allowed to share officially the report of last year's dig site sadly :/
Hello my dear friend, these shoes are in the early Middle Ages and are still being made in Central Asia and the East.
cedricfilm It is Turkish shoes
@@c3diy i want to know more !!!!
How did they get adhesive tape and plastic in medieval times?😊
hello the video is very fast everything was going well but I got lost when you sew it is very fast you should have made at least three slow stitches and a little slower when you cut the leather
what material was used for the base of the foot, i dont know ;(
Hello, how long would medieval shoes last? Thank you
I' don't think he is really a shoe maker he doesn't even have a tools for making shoes
So. Please re do this on slow and put out out ok. I want too make a pair. You'll be supprised how many will watch it 😄😄😄😄😄ok. Ok. Ok. 😄😍💖💃🙏🎶
Not really a turn shoe and tbh they dont look like ttey fit that well. small sole for your foot.
Im planning on doing a pair like yours but im afraid the glue will fail since, to me, all the bending force is led to the glue cos u dont pinch the bottom sole with the thread. im i true? is your glue lasting?
I have been using these shoes for 3 years already and the soles have started separating now, but nothing that a bit of glue cannot solve! You just need to apply some glue where the sole is lifted and they are ready to go
@@I33Craft good to know, thx for ur answer and for the vid
I actually would like a pair of shoes like that to use inside the house... I dunno why but they look comfy and easy to wear
prob cause its back to basics.. if you only make them for inside the house you dont need the thicker sole. i have made myself ( another type of, but also medieval inspired leather work papoutsi i think they where called ) a pair of shoes with the leather of a couch that was at the end of its life.. the back part of old couches are often still great leather to do these kinds of projects with
This would have been nice slowed down. Id like to know what the tools are called. Step by st e p. Slow..... So id be able to make a pair. Can you redo this so. If someone wants to make a.pair ... We could
They wouldn't of had a left and right shoe they were same shape for left and right
I think we all got how to punch holes in the first sole. In fact you could have edited some of that out as well. It wasn't until the upper leather that I understood how you do the spacing. Instead of showing everything in fast forward I would like it much more if you edited out the repetitions and showed the important things thouroughly.
Is your fast forward button broken?
Possible, but wrong method to make turnshoes😇
Y ese periódico español de donde saca las plantillas?😅😅😅
Filmé trop vite dommage si non bravo 👍👍👍👍👍 trop fort super bien fait vous vendez ????? 😁😁🙋♀️🙋♀️
What is happening when the shoe is wet and then the broomstick part...? I am totally lost.
How long to wet it and why, what does it help? Do all materials need this?
The shoes need to be wet to turn them inside out, that's why they are called "turnshoes". If they are not wet it is really difficult to do it! The broomstick eases the process.
S leathers need to be wet out to be more flexible
They are soaked for at least a couple of hours, this makes them more pliable.
Have u ever seen a tongue for a shoe being made, as the stitches are hidden along the edges?
If u take two pieces of leather to make a tongue and decided that you want to hide the stitches along the edge, you would flip the two pieces on the inside then stitch along the edge.
Once it’s stitched then take a wood stick, like the broom handle but smaller, and push it in the corner of the leather forcing it to go inward to outward, that’s what he used a broomstick for👍🏾
I33 Craft the video speed was fine, most people need to keep watching it over and over to help
How much would you charge to make a pair for someone
O aluno mais fraco do SENAI
Pity the video is on speed......... Not very good for us who would like to make a pair of shoes.......
You can slow the playback speed in settings
It would be good to know exactly what tools you used, plus the exact fabrics/type of stitching cord etc. plus explanations, re the water etc. ( is it to check for stretching/shrinking et cetera? As for the uninitiated, you can’t make these shoes without a list of the fore-mentioned . Wonderful though.
how thick was that piece of leather for the soles?
You fast-forwarded sooo fast that no one could learn from it.
Can't please everyone.
@@deefee701 So true.
Looks like this has been mentioned already, but I'm also wondering why not just sew on the first sole then glue the outsole? Save you the turning inside out process. I'm sure it wouldn't be lined up as well, but just wondering. Cool video and craftsmanship.
You are totally right, I thought about that after editting the video 😅
why they no teach this in Primary School!
Hello! Are they durable? I'm looking into making my own shoes because I wear mine off in a year, two years at most. I have to wear a specific type of shoe, so I'm looking into different techniques to help me out in the process. I love this shoes by the way, I have a pair kind of similar to then, but I'm afraid they'll desintegrate at any moment!
Yes, they are. I have been using them for the last 3 years and they are kind of worn off, although the soles can be replaced quickly as they are just glued. Another option is having a plastic sole to make them more durable, some people have them add by a shoe maker.
benefit of the shoe making themself is that if one part of the shoe is broken you dont have to throw away the entire shoe. ..!!! and if you keep blue prints its easy to remake the broken parts. im also looking into making more shoes myself since the shop shoes are also bugging my feet a lot of times XD
El trabajo interesantísimo pero el video pésimo. Aburre mostrando como habre los 2574 orificios para realizar la costura a cada una de las plantillas y después a una velocidad supersónica no deja ver como realiza la costura que es lo verdaderamente interesante. Menos es más.
Gracias por el comentario, para la próxima lo tendré en cuenta!
Nice !! you inspired me to do a pair myself because the fighting boots i purchased are always wrong in sizing , even with ultra complex sizing chart :/ . How would you add a sabatons attachement if i may ask ? before stiching the body to the sole ? Thanks a lot for your work !
You are welcome! In order to attach the sabatons you only have to make a pair of holes on the upper part of the shoe, so you can have a leather cord going through and keep them in place. I did it a week ago and it's easy and durable. I hope yours are going well!
Mocassin shoe
PSA: check out barefoot shoes.
So these got flipped inside out??
Yes, that's why they are called Turnshoes!
@@I33Craft thanks . i like how you sewed the top sole into the leather and then when flipped no stitches were seen. Did the bottom leather sole get sewed together with the top sole or was it just glued?
@@sean-or1nc They are just glued, I did it like that so I can replace the sole when it's worn out. But the historical way is just one sole and normally with a thinner leather.
@@I33Craft wow thanks for that insight . im soon to be making a pair similar for myself!!
Great leatherwork. However, I have never seen a medieval shoe like this. The historical turnshoes I know are constructed differently. (The stitches are on the inside and therefore invisible.) Do you have a historical source for this style? (If not that`s fine too, but please call them fantasy shoes then.) ;)
mmm don't know if they had a hard sole shoe back them yea they marten slept throw the century yea it like this one as well to laughing yes the marten ship had a fuel problem yea the lint we had to fuel the ship had the lead in it yes land up here but they forgot me the silly marten's yea they look great too
leaned to sew Indian moccasins way i was touch, not the way you buy them in a store at all yes soft shoe soles still make them for my self to wear in the winter fir to line the moccasins too colder days i have fir wrap i but around my moccasins too
Greet work... And with simple tools without molds..... But video is going very fast... Make one without speedly.... Thank you
Thank you so much! I think I now finally dare to make my own!
What did you use to glue the soles together? Was it shoe goo?
Круто👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Madre mía cuanto trabajo
I do a bit of leather crafting, bags and shealths, ect. My hands are aching watching you cut that thick hide... oofs. Your a def craftsman
You should work on the video editing. Most parts are too fast forwarded, it is annoying, and some parts should be shown at normal speed. Also, there's no need to show the whole making holes process. You could cut it.
Other than this, good job.
because you're a genius at making videos, right
@@Tism_me_timbers Oh, you are one of these dumb people who think only baker can criticize bread's flavour, only director can criticize movies, only mechanic can talk about cars and so on.
Ok, so if you are not a movie director, don't tell me what can I write here. Because you aren't smarter either. Duh. 🙄
Hej great job i want to make my own viking shoes also. i have been searching for hard leather to make the soles. where did you buy yours from and have you any contact details etc ? I LIVE IN SWEDEN
تم ممتاز
Compelling!
Didn't come to the comments section until the end!
Excellent guide.
Thanks!
I want one of those hammers.
How long does it take to make these shoes? One day ? Week? Or a few hours?
Depends on how many times you have made them, for me now it takes 3-4 days, but the first time was almost one week making tests and trial and error attempts!
Cardboard aided design!
You lost me with the Saran Wrap and gaffers tape - not very medieval. But I gave you a thumbs up.
Dude I would totally wear those around the house
Excelente video , ya me suscribí , paso a paso y sin horma de base ! Supongo ese sería el método de fabricación , utilizado en la Edad Media ! Es bastante laborioso y muy cansado , pero el premio es la satisfacción final ! 🖖😁🇲🇽
Nice!!! I love the cwran wrap pattern idea that's perfect.
The Broom, great too
What stitch are you using on the sole, I cant tell it's going too fast
And yes. Protect your stitching by only stitching one layer of sole, or just make an insole
Can I dunk in these?
Could’ve sped it up a bit IMO. Would’ve learnt the same amount in less time. 😉
Great video and hella patience! Would've loved to have seen them on you though!
I’m exhausted. I’d be like, ‘here’s your half of a shoe and some leather’
Amazing handcraft but definitely not medieval...
It is for reenactment and medieval combat but not an attempt to reproduce an original one. I tried to make them as comfortable as possible.
When you hear carefully you can here whales in the background I don't say they are there but......
Hey thnx, Whats the name of the glow that your using?:)
This is awesome! Great work!
Your finished product looks pretty good, but 18 minutes of 10 normal speed will never bring me back to your videos. Slow the damn thing down. It's not that hard.
Kesa; I did not know that. Thank you for the information.
How can an experiment be interesting, but from a practical point of view is a waste of time...
Comfort ?

👌👌👌👍
So historically shoes were straight lasted, that is no shaped to fit left and right feet. The shoes took the shape of the foot.
slow some of it down. can't follow what you're doing.
Super inspirational: for the do's as well as for the don'ts ;)
Stay healthy!
I Love These Shoes!! I know this is 3 years old. Wish I had a pair.
Beautiful. Where can I buy the kit, tools, etc.?
I bet tracing a flipflop might be easiest.
