Early Medieval Jorvik Shoes with 2 Leather Buttons

Description of the Product

These Jorvik Viking shoes are named after the Viking settlement of Jorvik (modern-day York, England). The Vikings were present in York, then known as Jorvik, after its capture in 866 AD by the Great Heathen Army, a coalition of Norse warriors. They established it as a significant economic and political hub in their Danelaw territory, which covered much of northern and eastern England. Jorvik thrived under Viking control, becoming a center for trade, craftsmanship, and cultural exchange, blending Norse and Anglo-Saxon influences until its recapture by the English in 954 AD.

Numerous Viking Era leather shoes have survived in waterlogged conditions at Jorvik, which provide insights into the daily life and craftsmanship of the Viking inhabitants​. Now you too can step into history with these Jorvik Viking Shoes, featuring authentic 10th–11th century design.

These shoes are made completely of leather, and they have nailed leather soles for added authenticity and longevity. The adjustable button straps provide customizable fit, ensuring comfort whilst still being historically accurate.

These shoes are perfect for Viking Age (and Middle Age) reenactors, history enthusiasts and LARP gamers. Whether you're recreating life from centuries past or simply embracing timeless style, these shoes will get you to your destination. Handmade by Karhunhammas-Beartooth.

These shoes have quite a generous fit, depending on the shape of your foot. If you have narrow feet or are between sizes, we recommend going down a size.
