This video is a sequel to my video on making a pattern for perfect fitting viking turnshoes. These are a reproduction of a viking shoe from Haithabu. Im in the mountain region of Asturias in the north part of Spain and I need to make these shoes so my feet can handle hiking in the mountains. I make this pair of shoes on the go, in the wild and with very simple tools in my small bag.
It takes approximately 2-3 hours pr shoe to finnish sewing them together. The skewing tool is not based on viking age finds, and this job could be done with a regular sharp knife with some practise and care. Besides the skewing tool and my awl most of what you see in the video is directly based on viking age finds and made by me.
CARE AND MAINTAINANCE
Everytime I have used them for a day or two I apply a new layer of grease to the shoes. I do this often at first to saturate the leather and less often after a while. The shoe is not waterproof, but is indeed water repellant. If walking in mud, water or wet grass moist will enter especially from the seams but with thick nailbinded wool socks your feet will get wet or moist but never cold. It is amazingly comfortable even with moist feet and I guarantee you your feet will have a good time walking in these. If the shoes get wet I make sure to dry them good and then brush off any sand and small stones. Sand and stones grinding on the stitches will shorten the life of your shoes greatly. After drying and brushing i reapply leather grease. If well taken care of these shoes will last you years.
GRIP AND COMFORT
I find this type of footwear very comfortable. But I also wear minimalist footwear on a daily basis and do much of my walking barefeet. So if you are used to big bulky hiking boots you might experience redused support. These shoes does not protect you from sharp rocks from either the side or the bottom and you will feel the surface you walk on. This makes you more aware and you have to be mindfull and present where you walk. I like this alot.
There is not much grip in these shoes. Remains of soles with carvings that ressemble grid or track marks are found though. But I find that with completely free movability of my feet I can bend my toes and twist my feet and the shoe will follow and I do experience a pretty good grip for hiking and walking. On wet, slippery or muddy walks this type of shoe does not perform well. In my other video you can see how viking age ice cramps function for climbing a steep sand dune - and they will work great for wet grass and muddy roads or icey paths as well

The part where I explain about the guide holes to give the shoe form and shape by attatching the upper to the sole prior to sewing them up is explained in depth in this video by Nille Glæsel • Viking Shoes part 2, b... which I highly recommend you see as well.
Thank you for watching and reading. Feel free to comment or ask questions below and I will happily answer.

Thank you very much dear friend for the beautiful video waiting for a new video 🌲☘🌲
You Are very welcome my friend:) im happy you liked it and wanted to comment. I am working on part B of the haithabu arrow quiver video at the moment. Hopefully out next week. Took longer than planned
Thank you so much for this informative and pleasing video. My friend and I are making these sort of shoes for ourselves and I am learning so much and having so much fun thanks to videos like yours :)
Thank you for the feedback Jenny. I am very happy to hear that the video is helpfull. Best of luck with your shoe making to you and your friend:) All the best
@@RAMUNI-Viking Thank you very much!
What an amazing video. Brilliantly made , informative and beautiful.
Thank you very much:) im happy you enjoyed it and took the time to comment
@@RAMUNI-Viking I'll take a look at your other videos soon, but if they are like this one they will deserve the time to sit down and pay attention, not just skip though.
I am still developing my film making skills and I personally think every video a tiny bit better than the last. So this one in my opinion is the Best film wise. But I Hope you Will like the Others and for sure whats to come:)
Wonderful video and scenery! Wished I had the few extra tidbits of info in this vid before I made my turn shoes last year. Always room for improvement on the next pair. Cheers!
Thank you Christopher. I Hope the video is help full for the next shoes:) i have made around 20 pairs of Shoes and each time they get a tiny bit better. Always learning. Thank you for your comment
Nice pair of boots l also like the bag is so curious, The information on the boots is quite usfful also thanks a lot. I like your work.
Thank you for the comment. Im happy you like my work. The bag is inspired by the wooden handles from Haithabu which is believed to be bag handles. These particular ones is a free interpretation of the many finds from Haitbabu. I have a video about making it also:)
@@RAMUNI-Viking l will check it l have suscribe also good luck with the channel.
@@asilvestrandome thank you - and welcome:)
Beautiful and very informative video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Fortsæt det flotte arbejde 👍
Thank you. Det vil jeg gøre:)
Just amazing. Many thanks from Hrothgaira here, man.
Thank you. Im happy to hear you liked it and took the time to write. All the best:)
@@RAMUNI-Viking One of my dream now is trying to make my own leather shoes. Thanks again. All the best to you.
What beautifulful video! I love the birds singing in the background. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. I have subscribed to your channel.
I am thinking of making my first Viking-age shoes soon, but cannot find suitable leather that is not too expensive. I will certainly follow this video when can!
Take care, regards from Cymru (Wales) 👍
Thank you very much for the comment and subscription. For the soles i normally visit my local leather supplier and browse through a box with off cuts and Pay a very fair kilo price. In the past i have skinned many trashed sofas for scrap leather with a knife for the upper. I Hope you find some materiale and that this video and Others on TH-cam Will help you make a great pair of viking shoes
@@RAMUNI-Viking Thanks for the advice! I had not thought of looking for offcuts. Keep up the great work 😉👍
We think alike. Isn't it convenient that we can go skin a sofa. Already killed and fleshed and tanned for free?
It's crazy what rich people will throw away
Lindo! Tanto os sapatos quanto o lugar, que é belíssimo e voce, por mostrar essas todas essas coisas adoráveis!
Muchas gracias:)
@@RAMUNI-Viking, thank you! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Excellent job.
Starting about 3:10 in the video, I only stitch the first 2cm (1" ish) of the center seam on top of the foot. That is enough to hold the shape of the upper while stitching it to the sole. I sew up the remainder of the center seam after the shoe is turned. This makes turning the shoe almost trivial.
Before turning, I will sometimes "chamfer" the sole to upper seam -- cutting away the edge of the seam just enough to help flatten it. Take care, as it is possible to take off enough leather to expose the stitching.
Thats good advice. I Will try this way out at some point. Thank you for taking the time to comment and share your Experience:)
7:40 amazing sewing tip here
13:30 aswell, super important
@@ozodari6160 learned it here among other places, and this video gives an even better explanation: th-cam.com/video/09DTcBm0EAg/w-d-xo.html
I really like your videos, they are very informative and inspiring (the landscape shots in between are great too) but with the shoes I miss the detail of how the heel is pinned with the knot before sewing.
Will there be a video with the homemade music soon? Maybe also on Spotify? That would make me very happy. With best regards
Hello Dennis. Thank you for the feedback. Im happy to hear you like the videos. I have a plan of making another shoe video at some point and then i will be sure to Pay more attention to the detail of the heel. There is a few videos with my music and also one about My home made Hurdy Gurdy on my channel of you scroll down. All the best:)
hi...this counts like the VIKING Shoe Pattern | Viking Tutorial | Haithabu - Viking Crafts (Ep. 5)? THANKS
I hope i understand you correct. The shoe Pattern video is nr. 4. After that i made nr 5 about making birch tar. And then came back to the shoe project and made this video nr 6 in the craft guide series. I Hope this answers the question:) all the best
If you put on a thick sole, you could cut a shallow slit, maybe half the thickness, all around the stitching lane, on the bottom of the sole. Then you pull in the thread and it sinks into the leather, hiding the thread and you won't walk on it....love the video. Be safe and healthy
Thank you for your comment. I normally do this also in this thickness but the tool i use was not with me in Spain.
And on holiday in spain with No spare materiale i didnt dare to make the slit with my knife:)
How does it feel to walk in them compared to sneakers?
For me its great. For walking in modern urban environment i would prefer sneakers. For the forest and outdoor surface the viking Shoes Are great. Biggest difference is the lack of padding or thick sole under your feed and the lack of ankle support. This dictates a different walking style with paying more attention to rocks and Stones and the underlay in general and requieres you to mind every step and use your leg muscles more to stabilise the ankle and foot. Depending on your perspecctive that can be both a pro and a con. But the biggest up side is that the shoe sis shaped Completely for you foot, and it lets the whole foot and the toes work while walking, gripping, balancing and so on. Just like modern minimalist or barefeet Shoes. I like Viking Shoes a lot but for a wildlife photography Expedition i choose my modern hiking boots.
The tool you used at 15:11 is it made of bone or antler
Its a bone pin. Replica of cloak pin for securing a cloak. But I find it very use full to have a pointed bone pin in my tool kit. In my latest video you can see me using a simpler version of it also to enlarge holes in leather.
Hi my friend, can I just ask, have you ever spent any time in the North of Ireland.
Hello:) Yes i have. Quiet a bit in fact. I have been playing music there and have some very good friends in Northern ireland:)
Good to hear from you. I, ll be in Denmark in June . Please take care. And stay well
Thats great.stay well too my friend
Soooo much prettier than my first pair of shoes...😂
My first pair was also pretty rustic. I think i have made 20 pairs over the last 10 years. Practise makes better:)
Did vikings possessed such tools 55 HRC and up?
No:) this is my small travel Kit i have in Spain. So i had to make compromises. I dont want to travel with All My hand forged tools.
this video and you are amazing! will you be one of my husbands? haha
Thank you. Im happy you like the video. Im happily married so i will have to decline:)
