I am interested in the period 1750 - 1850, so I guess I should put my money on a pair of shoes like David's.
David, are those regular 1800's shoes like Jas. Townsend sells or is the tongue longer? Where did you find the buckles?
Thanks again everyone, this is such a great forum:-)

I'd say, if they fit the period you intend, cetainly. By the Jacobite era and latter, they actually wore a different style of shoe (in military and public life) and cadadh. For an earlier period, I'm SURE they were worn together. I'll have to let one of the reenactors here tell of the shoes and what period what was worn (outside my main knowledge and only terciary at best).
What PERIOD are you after recreating?
Cheers
