Repairing Viking Shoes with Nicole Rudolph

I’m not a leather worker. I’m not an expert in historical footwear. I don’t have years of experience making medieval shoes for myself and others, and I certainly don’t know how to fix Viking Age turn shoes on my own. You know who does? Nicole, from @NicoleRudolph. So it would have been clever of me to contact Nicole and ask her advice before starting to repair my Viking turn shoes using leatherworking tools I barely understood, with almost no skills in leather sewing, and with leather barely suitable for the job. But that’s not good content. So I obviously jumped in with both (bare) feet and made a complete mess of things. Hooray! Join me and Nicole as she generously tells me what I should have done, and then go and subscribe to her amazing channel that is absolutely packed with wonderful historical facts about footwear, fashion, and more! ***Don’t forget!
