Our 18th Century Buckle Shoes are made for Colonial and Revolutionary War reenactment, living history, historical interpretation, and anyone looking for traditionally styled 18th-century men's footwear. With their low-cut leather design, wide latchets, and separate shoe buckles, they provide the unmistakable appearance of period footwear worn during the 1700s.
These historical reproduction shoes are made from top-grain leather with a double-thickness sole and sewn construction. Iron heel nails provide additional durability, while the leather lining creates a comfortable interior. The 1½-inch-wide latchets are designed to accept 18th-century shoe buckles, allowing you to customize the appearance of your shoes with the buckle style you prefer.
Designed in the United States and made for South Union Mills by an experienced historical shoemaker in India, these shoes combine period-inspired construction with the durability needed for living history events and extended wear.
Please note: These shoes run large. We recommend ordering one or two sizes smaller than your normal shoe size and considering the thickness of the stockings you will wear with them.
