I'm sure no one would want me to make them a pair of these. they are basicly a leather sock, and at site, isn't there something about shoes needing to have a rubber sole?

the design I'm using starts off with this pre-10th century shoe http://www.personal.utulsa.edu/~marc-carlson/shoe/SHOES/SHOE55.HTM

using that as a base, I build it up with something simmilare to http://www.medievalmoccasins.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=MM&Category_Code=TB only I use a straight piece of leather instead of tabs.

right now I'm looking at a way to build up the sole to be more then a single piece of leather

Shoes for Faire don't have to have rubber soles--they have to have hard soles. I have thick leather soles on my Faire shoes (made-to-measure by Lady Oren)and they are not as practical as rubber soles (I don't always get enough traction going downhill) but they guard my feet against the gravel.
