JoAnn Peterson, owner of Laughing Moon Mercantile Patterns, has a new store in Old Sacramento, Calif. JoAnn caters to Gold Rush/Civil War reenactors. She has lots of great shoes/boots in her store, one or two of which are 1830s-40s appropriate. I don't know where she gets her shoes, but check out her website. http://www.saccitydrygoods.com/category-s/31.htm LynnD On Mon, May 12, 2008 at 10:34 AM, Serena Dyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Can anyone recommend a good maker of 1830s-40s ladies' boots or shoes? > Accurate ones seem to be a very hard to come by thing! > > Thanks > > Serena Dyer > ___ > h-costume mailing list > h-costume@mail.indra.com > http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume > ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

The last time I tried to get a catalog from Amazon Dry Goods, they sent me a 3 year old catalog and wouldn't give me my money back when i called to say that I already had that catalog. Maybe they've finally updated their catalog and improved their customer service.

Amazon buys all their shoes from Annello & Davide in London and I at least have bought direct from Annello & Davide.

Re: [h-cost] 1830s-40s Boots and Shoes
I also have a pair of shoes by Sarah Juniper (1570s), and I can't say enough good things about them. She will make them as accurate as you wish, and you have never worn anything so comfortable. Two caveats: as far as I know, she does not have email, and she does not take credit cards. For those of us across the pond, it makes doing business less convenient, but it is SO worth it.

Re: [h-cost] 1830s-40s Boots and Shoes
Thanks everyone for your help! I've bought shoes from Sarah Juniper in the past, and love them to pieces, but assumed from her website that this wasn't a period she works with. I'm sending her an order soon anyway, so I'll ask her then. I've sent an email to Annello and Davide too, I'm in the UK, so those two work best for me anyway! Thanks again, and I'll let you know how I get on.

From the little bit of research I've done 1840s shoes (at least for women, I haven't looked at mens shoes) were not hugely different in style to the 1860s so you might try asking him if he would do something a little earlier.
