    Default Primitive Shoes by Margrethe Hald

    For any one with an interest in making simple shoes of some form, and would like to try something other than moccasins, or has an interest in primitive skills from different parts of the world, this will be appealing. A thorough treatise on simple shoes from Denmark predominantly, and other parts of northern Europe as well, from about the Viking age and earlier.

    Thats a great find, thanks! I need to make some "period " shoes for myself and the middle son. I made him a pair of Saxon turn shoes but he has insisted on growing out of them.

    Cheers!
