Our goal is to try to bring together the people using our pattern with the people who want to acquire our shoes! Since we're no longer producing shoes or shoe kits, we hope this way the hundreds of people who have our pattern can help fill in the void for all those interested in having turn shoes.
Recommended Materials:
- 9-11oz veg tan leather for the soles (I use Oakleaf veg tan leather from tandyleather.com) DO NOT USE SOLE OR SADDLE BENDS
- 3oz soft leather for the upper (I use Kodiak Oily Side from tandyleather.com)
- Waxed thread (I use sewing awl thread)
Recommended Tools:
- A pencil
- An x-acto knife or other sharp knife
- A french edge beveler
- A straight awl, aka a scratch awl
- A curved inseaming awl (such as a Carbone inseaming awl: sorrellnotionsandfindings.com...)
- Harness needles (I use large, size 000)

Just came across your video. Very nice to watch it. I've been an aircraft trimmer for therty years. Love leather work. I do classic cars and bikes in my home time. Plus a few campers and boats. Plus furniture. But I love making wallets and other hand crafted products. Thank you for sharing this with us. As I'm now going to try and make a pair of these boots. Keep it up. Because it's very pleasant to watch. It's good to see someone else enjoying their craft. Nice little work shop as well. Take care of yourself in this uncertain situation the world is going through at the moment. Be safe. 👍 🙏
@@FoxesandRavens thank you. Take care of yourself. And keep well to. 👍 🙏
Thank you for your reply. And good luck with your new channel. I'm sure you will definitely do well. What ever you choose to do. I'm sure you will have a good following. Good luck to you. Look forward to seeing more of your work. Take care of yourself Nora 👍🍀🙏
Great stuff. You look at peace doing your craft. 😊
I like the palm support you have for pushing the holes in the leather.....very nice work...I’ll be watching you going forward and can’t wait to view your older vids... thanks
Absolutely beautiful watching you work. It is mesmerizing. Your craftsmanship is truly inspiring. Just beautiful- Thank you.
I am a huge fan of all things Sartorial... I'm happy to have stumbled upon your channel.
Best regards.
I make many things out of leather. Never footwear. Great work! I may try one day but its definitely intimidating.
I like your style ,you clean up as you go and everything is done in steps , they look super comfortable ,thank you for the video
Thanks so much! 😊My goal was to show how much work goes into making a pair of turn shoes. They are super comfy, I wear them all the time, although it's more like a slipper or moccasin.
Between the quality work and the nice videography, I can't imagine it'll be long before your channel gets big (at least based on this video--I'll be checking out your other videos after posting this comment). On a more specific note, I was honestly impressed by the speed and accuracy of your skiving(?) around 5:00.
@@FoxesandRavens I'm glad to see it is. Keep up the hard work. I think project videos are definitely the way to go--or at least they're my favorites. I'd imagine everyone stuck inside could stand to be creative (vicariously through you) as a means of distraction.
First class work with a strong by product of therapy. Subscribed.
I love this. All of it. The design, the intent, the execution. It is clean and basic and it oozes craftsmanship.
I will definitely order a kit before trying it from scratch. I just have to figure out how to adjust the sole, since I cannot walk without a lift at the heel (medical issue). Maybe I just need to wear them with pattens to sort that issue and still wear historical correct footwear. 😉
I just started working on this pattern, can't wait to see how it turns out!
Amazing Turn Shoes! so glad to see how they´re made. Keep the lovely work!
Thank you! :)
Wow really amazing what a skill u have!!!!!
Lovely work, as usual, Nora! So enjoying your videos and hope to see you at events after the quarantine!
Thank you Cindy! Hope to see you too
I respect your work.😮
Great work! ♥️
Beautiful work!
Great video. Excellent music, visual, and craftsmanship.
These are wonderful! I love your process for crafting these shoes. Skal
This is absolutely GORGEOUS!! I love leather work and traditional leather shoes like this and this is just so inspiring I want to learn this!!
Excellent video!!!
Ez nagyon tetszik! Szép munka. 😊
impressive , delicate and beautiful, thank you miss.
Beautiful.
Such a nice video to watch !! Very soothing and instructive !! All the best from Ireland !
Excellent video!! many thanks for showing us your work and processes.
My pleasure!
I’m in the process of making these…great video.
Great JOB!!
Ive made traditional sioux moccasins. But these look almost half the work. Great job, Nora! Thank you for sharing this!
Each project has it's challenges; I always thought moccasins would be easier because the leather is thinner, and the pattern is more straightforward! But the stitching is always what takes longest, and what you see least in the video ;)
Beautiful!
Look awesome.
Awesome work 👏
Thank you!
Nice craftsmanship very nice vid
Love it
Good work and a lovely video
Very nice work!!! THX for share your talent.
@@FoxesandRavens you're welcome 😉
Love it!
Beautiful
Well, I loved that. Subbed.
This is a kind ASMR to me...great vid!
That's what I was going for :) something relaxing and beautiful!
Wow richtig klasse 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Beautifull hands.....beautifull work
These are beautiful. Hope to eventually own a pair one day. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you! Would you rather get them or make them do you think?
That was great! 😁
I absolutely will be buying a pair soon
Aww, thanks Luke!
I want to learn how to do that. That is art.....!!!
Simplemente HERMOSO...
I really like this video, thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Size 15s? 😱
Improbable but not impossible. 🔄?
I can hope.
Lovely to see that a young person such as yourself has found something so personally enriching. Too often, we are
guided toward $, never finding the essential.
Good job
Superb. Thank you
Welcome 😊
New sub here after starting the video amazing work definitely well made. I cannot wait to start my own pair. Just need to get a pattern for a men's 12 to 13 depending on how shoes are made lol
Thanks for the sub!
Very good 😊
Bonjour de France très beau travail ! Nice job from France !
Merci Greg! Salut de Québec :)
Que hermoso oficio, es una obra de arte cada pieza de calzado
Thank you!
good job ^^
Muy creativa!
I cannot hide my admiration for you, you are not only a human being; you are a treasure that grows every day 🌹
What kind of knife was that you used to cut the sole leather with?
lovely shoes. could u tell us the thickness of the leather u use?
you are so very good
What is the brown hide your using? Oz, as well, thank you.
any particular place you can buy the leather for the uper shoe ?!cause it is very hard to find it in UK 😕can’t find anywhere to be soft
I bought the pattern and am almost ready to stich the sole to the upper, but what stitch are you using? Great video btw :)
Please Tell me how you hid the stich on the foot Part.
It’s sewn inside out, so the stitches are hidden. I use a cloth covered hammer sometimes to round out the exterior. Watch the video carefully!
Preciosa la mujer, demuestra orden y limpieza en todo su proceso artesanal e irradia pasión y tranquilidad, por lo que hace. Saludos al canal y a ella.
Thank you so much!
👍❤️
Can I use thinner leather for the soles and attach a thin/zero-drop shoe rubber sole on to that? I had a pair of moccassins that had that to allow them to last longer for outdoor use.
Don't see why not.
The Ancient Romans didn't have Rubber Soles, much less rough Concrete that tears up Leather.
What that music I've always wondered?
I don't have a lot of money, but it's a dream to have a pair of shoes like that. I do my best in life to make it and one day a have a pair like that very nice work my respect........
Well I've made tons of these shoes and I don't have a lot of money either! Haha, only joking. Leatherworking is sadly very expensive in this day and age, which is funny since it used to be the cheapest material!
One big fat turn-sewn like from me!
Can you tell me how long the strap you cut is
Probably 1.5 meters, or roughly 5ft, but it could probably be shorter. I'm afraid I usually took the route of cutting the longest lace I could, and then adjusting once it's on the boot.
Are you still around and making things? X
Supper!!!!!!!!!)))))))
Absolutely stunning!
And the boots were beautiful too.😉
❤️❤️❤️👍😎
Великолепно!
where to get the molds??
Mario Moreno she does beautiful work!
If u wanted a mold u should make one from your own foot. Once u cast your foot it’s much easier to make your pattern in my opinion
Inline speed skating boot makers make their own castings for clients👍🏾
Awesome sauce 😇😈😆
Will these be durable enough for my shield maiden to wear in our upcoming raid?
Well I wore my pair for two summers of viking campaigns in Denmark, and I'm a pretty active fighter, so I'd say yes! I wouldn't recommend them for indoor events, however.
@@FoxesandRavens 😂😂😂😂❤
I'm not kidding! There are actually viking reenactment events in Denmark, and I do combat for them. I used to train once a week. Look up videos of Moesgaard, or check out my Viking Reenactment playlist and be amazed! ;)
I'm looking to make my own turn shoes. Would a pattern be available for this style?
Yes, absolutely! foxesandravens.com/collections/digital-patterns/products/oseberg-boot-pattern
I've seen some people skive the sole and others, the shirt of the upper. Do you think there is much difference?
I can't quite tell what you're referring to by "the shirt of the upper", but there are different techniques based on where your stitches are going through, and how tough or flexible your leather is. Skiving the soles actually isn't necessary, but it makes for a cleaner look after you turn the shoe without having to do any hammering (which you should do, but I don't :[] haha)
@@FoxesandRavens The Vamp I think it's called! Thank you!
Ah, I think you're thinking of later period cordwaining techniques. Cordwaining (shoemaking entirely by hand) is amazing and beautiful to watch, and uses some of the same tools as turnshoe making, but the techniques are fairly different (namely, much more complicated, haha). Glad to help!
Hey, just a quick question if you happen to read the comment section. First of all those look stellar. I’d’like to make a pair myself. I also do some medieval full contact knowned as buhurt or Hmb. A lot of fighters have rubber, modern sole , discreet but useful glued to their leather sole. Do you know if it’s hard to find and more important, hard to glue ? What would be your experience with modern glue ? Thanks a lot
I'll leave Nora to reply too, but ya, some E600, Barge Cement, or other proper glue will do just fine gluing a proper rubber to it for wear. Just don't glue tread to it, just because it can make your foot grab a little to hard, can't slide, you'll hyperextend a knee or break a joint because your foot got snagged and stuck to the mud.
Adam Budda wow thank you very much Adam, that will help a lot
@@FoxesandRavens Thanks a loot , i came across some videos explaining the process for those shredded rubber layer, can be a good solution yeah. Have a good day Nora, thanks for the response.
Beautiful ! What leather did you use for the upper?
I use brown Kodiak from the Tandy :) I love it!
Foxes and Ravens thanks for the quick reply lovely work I will check out your other videos 🙂
I am in Vietnam and I dream of having a Viking shoe. I really love it. Can foreign friends give me a Viking shoe?
Very hard work very pain my old gran. made it priceless
Did wealthy viking men wear similar turn shoes or did they wear something better.? I can't find much on what wealthy viking male weared especially in armor. Like the video first I've seen.
That's a very good question! As far as I know, most viking shoes were pretty similar in terms of construction: a single layer of leather for a sole, and a single layer for the upper, maybe with a rolled edge. There are certainly some modern reenactor shoes out there that are MUCH fancier (such as facebook.com/torvaldsleatherworkshop/)
There are plenty of less fancy shoes, made from a single piece of leather, or like, scraps of leather tied around the feet, haha
Channelling US Ancestors Thank You...
You are very welcome
This girl has been uploading for 3 years and finally the algorithm notices her
Hello sister, can I attend your class, love from Pakistan.
Посмотрел, восхитился, устыдился
Спасибо!
You need some real heavy waxed linen thread for your thread needs for your leather goods. Nice shoe kit. Just not a fan of plastic.
That is very true: most viking shoes were whipstitched. But that leaves exposed thread, which then breaks more easily. But honestly I think the reality is just that most vikings didnt spend a lot of time trying to make shoes as pretty as mine, because they knew they would fall apart pretty quickly. Obviously some rich people who didn’t work outside a lot would have fancy shoes, but mostly shoes were a bit more slapdash
No music would make great ASMR
Is lack of music important for ASMR? I do try to go for a very relaxing feel :)
Nicely done but verbal instructions would help
@@FoxesandRavens Ah! A very good Demonstration I will admit. The problem is that on this media where often the only thing you pick up is that one film, which to whet anyones appitite does, I believe, need to be to a certain extent instructional
Why does it look like you are mad all the time? Hahaha
Nice work tho
Tedious Art Nora. Expected to see Robert Plant in the background awaiting his pair.
Holding the curved knife, with a hammer grip, and putting you hand underneath the leather with the blade tip only exposed to the line being cut is much easier, because you have a firmer grip. Also nailing the leather to the bench makes for holding the leather easier. Doing both will make for the knife not breaking, and cutting yourself unlikely. 😂❤😂
I've updated the kinds of knives I use several times since making this video, but more than anything I would say that you need to sharpen your knives very regularly. It shouldn't be hard to cut leather, even very thick leather, if your knife is appropriately sharp. So having a knife that's easy to sharpen is key! And curved blades aren't great for that, so I no longer use them.
@@FoxesandRavens yes , I buy hook blades for my Stanley knife, they are mass produced and wickedly sharp and cheap. Also a bit of stropping definitely will make them glide along.
Nice work, but the knife is for more soft leather and not for the hard one. you just destroy you blades with that :)
I actually think this knife is nice for thicker leather, because it allows me to more easily cut into the corner without going past it (like here: ua-cam.com/video/_hCDn1IG1JE/v-deo.html). But I honestly just use it because my husband had it in his tool kit, and I like the handle and look of it better than my old X-acto knife ;)
What would you recommend instead?
Bet theres some hipsters around wearing these
5:00 if you make the leather wet it will work much easier ;)
Haha, I've had several other leatherworkers tell me this, and I've tried, and it has NEVER helped. It makes the leather sticky, and the tools go through jerkily, no matter how wet I get something, and then on top of that, you have to wait days for the piece to dry again before sewing. I know it must work for other people, but honestly I have no need; if you work with leather that isn't old and dry, your tools should punch through like butter.
