Based on the 9th-10th century model found in the archeological site at Vlaardingen, Holland. There are findings of this kind of shoe up to the 11th century (as can be seen in the York and Picadilly sites). Our version differs from the original with the adjustable cords that make the shoes more comfortable to wear. Vlaardingen, Holland, (Het Waaigat site, 1991) Low cut shoe with decorated edge. 9th – 10th Century Parallel shoe from Gdansk, Poland (Wiklak 1960) Classified as a one piece upper with thong fastening. Similar one piece upper shoes with thong fastening dated 11th Century in England, York and Piccadilly with distribution across northern Europe to Poland. This shoe appears in Stepping Through Time, by Olaf Goubitz on page 139 figure 8a. and the shoe is typed and cataloged in the book titled 'Leather and Leatherworking in Anglo-Scandinavian and Medieval York' by Quita Mould, Ian Carlisle and Esther Cameron.
Q. Why has Fight Club made a custom measuring system?
A. There are two main reasons.
i. We stock our shoes from all over the world and they don't come as a standard or compatible size that can be trusted.
ii. Some styles may look bigger to the untrained eye, however, pointy toes, flat heels, and even internal stitching can make the shoe smaller than modern shoes made to the same measurements.
Q. How do I find the shoes that are my size?
A. You can either look at the name of the shoe where we will have included a brief code with the size in it. If you see a shoe type with the size (Size E) it will translate to size length "E". Alternatively you can browse through the size category, which are sorted first by width and then by length.
Q. Can I just guess my size based on my modern shoes?
A. Of course you can. However if you want to get the best fit and to avoid paying for unnecessary postage then we would strongly urge you to follow the method and work it out properly.
