Kensington 18th Century Leather Shoes (Black)
Kensington 18th Century Leather Shoes (Black) blend rugged camp practicality with true period styling. Hand-sewn pointed toes, custom French heels, and a leather-lined interior make them both comfortable and historically accurate for the American Colonial era, especially the Revolutionary War years.
Key details that set Kensington apart:
- Upper: 100% leather with a leather lining and a sealed leather sole for durability and character that ages beautifully with wear.
- Heel: Custom French heels with a leather cover, standing at 1.75 inches (4.4 cm) for a balanced silhouette that works from camp to formal occasions.
- Toes and closure: Hand-sewn pointed toes with latchets for a secure, period-appropriate closure; latchets are 1.3 inches wide (3.3 cm) and will fit all American Duchess buckles.
- Versatility in buckles: Dress them up with glittery paste buckles, or dress them down with a simpler buckle design (latchet sizing information below).
- Fit and sizing: Size trends run true to size for most customers, with Regular (B) width as standard.
- Origin and assembly: Designed in Reno, Nevada, USA; assembled in China.
