Accessories: Wonder-shoes

 The last pink accessory - for now at least. 

As I mentioned more than once (I am sure), that as a reenactor, with historical attires, accessories are probably the hardest thing, especially shoes. 

Yes, there are a few place you can order some, but there is always a risk. You never know, if it is going to fit you or not, if the quality would worth the price or not. 

Early last year, I found a shoemaker, who made me a fairly low heeled, but high victorian boots that I use for my sports attire. Then I gave him the next task. 
Make me shoes that look like rococo shoes, but comfortable, and comforst should include heels, that cannot be "high", higher than 2-3 cm. 

I collected a big Pinterest board, showed him the shapes I loved, the height I hope I can still walk in, and he set out to work. 

He made me the first pair from black, to wear with the Maria Theresa gown.




 and I loved them so much I wanted another pair, in pastel color. The shoemaker told me, than it is best of I choose the leather myself, and tol me to go to Légrádi Zoltán, so I did.

I swear, I did not meant to get PINK shoes. I did not. But when I saw that pink leather I lost it, and decided, that I WILL have pink shoes to go with my pink dress. 

The shoes were made by József Zombori @Baktócipő
