I truly loved this video. Your videos are not only teaching me things that I didn't know about but they are peaceful and relaxing. I also got Nille Viking from your comments and subscribed to her channel. I wish I could be closer to the Tribe. But know that my heart comes to all of you. I am the little old lady from Colorado, USA. Thank you all for letting me be with you ❤. Keep up the good work. Best of wishes to everyone ❤!
Thank you Nicki. Im delighted to hear you enjoy the videos and that its peaceful and relaxing. Thats how I feel when Im out on these trips and when im crafting. So its good to hear that it shines through on the final result:)
Using this video, I was able to make my own turn shoes! It took probably 12 hours as it was my first time, but the result is beautiful and sturdy. Thank you so much for this peaceful, informative tutorial.
That is amazing to hear:) 12 hours is a good time and I am sure your shoes are great. And I know you will take care of them and treat them well. Thanks alot for writing this to me - it makes me happy to hear my video was helpful. best of luck with your future projects. all the best
This was a wonderful Video to watch , It is good to know that the old Skills are still kept alive , Be well my Friend , Strength , Honour and Respect .🙂
Hello. You make fantastic videos! Thank you for making them and please continue to make them. I am going to make a pair of these on my next hike. Thanks again and have a wonderful day.
Hello:) thank you for your support. I promise to keep making videos. maybe at a little slower pace than i would like - but there is plenty of ideas and inspiration. I wish you the best of luck making a pair like these on your next hike. Im sure they will turn out great. all the best:) Rasmus / RAMUNI
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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:)
they are never 100% water proof but they are very moist resistant when properly treated. At some point moist will enter through the seams but with wool socks under you only feel the moisture not the cold. I am always surprised with how good they are. I recently made an experiment to only treat a pair of viking shoes from day 1 with homemade birch bark tar. this works surprisingly well and is so far the most weather resistant pair of historical footwear i own.
@@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:)
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
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:)
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
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.
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.

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:)

In how far are these shoes waterproof after putting on the wax?
Amazing video, nice tutorial.

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
How does it feel to walk in them compared to sneakers?

Biggest difference is the lack of padding or thick sole under your feed and the lack of ankle support.

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.
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:)
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:)
