His new Elizabethan shoes had started to give him blisters and wondered if we could solve the problem. I asked to take them with me after the event and we’d fix the problem. When the shoes were brought by camp, I found a new pair of Dr. Scholls insoles in them. Our shoes are custom and do not automatically include space to accommodate  the thick ones. If your intent is to wear them, you need to include them when you measure.

Andrea loved them and wore them all week. Functional success and beauty, the best combination. The blue was just the right shade to accent her Renaissance garb.

The mock up for her approval is made out of vinyl so she can make notes on it for changes. She slashed the cuff and did a tape job on it to get exactly the size she wanted. We’ll make the changes and have them ready for Great Western War in two weeks. She’ll be in her merchant’s booth (Bucky’s Stuff) with a new line of chain mail favors for the ladies to give their warriors to carry into battle.

I’ll be there as well with the new gloves we’ve been working on. Look for me at Soles Thru Time.
