Historical Accuracy: Discovered in the submerged town of Reimerswaal, in Zeeland, Netherlands and Dated to the 14th Century. The Reimerswaal Turn Shoes appear in Stepping Through Time, by Olaf Goubitz on page 179 figure 9. This shoe is from a family of shoes with many different variations all dating from the 11th century to the 15th century named poulaine, Poulain, crackowes, or pike-toed shoe.
Construction: Reimerswaal Turn Shoes are constructed and sewn by hand using the historically documented methodology. (No machine stitches) (No Nails) Linen thread is used for the edge to edge seam to connect the leather of the multiple piece upper shoes and uses the edge/flesh seam to attach the shoe to the hard vegetable tanned sole. Reinforced leather for the lace holes. The shoe is constructed inside out and turned right side out as the last step, and that is how they get the type name of “turn shoe.”
