I'll second Woodsheal on the shoes from both Fugawee and Townsend.
I've gotten shoes direct from Fugawee instead of going through various vendors. My only word of caution is to get right and left shoes, not the single last. I wore a pair of single last for about 2 years and my feet ached for a day or two afterward each time.
I would also recommend Flying Canoe Traders - IF you can get to an event they are at since they do not sell shoes by mail order. The reason for this is that they fit the shoes to your feet by applying a special tool to stretch out the shoe where it rubs your foot. I've bought two pair from them and first they fit the shoe to your food, then they make you wear them around for the day, and then you come back for a final fitting. You can also bring them back for adjustments at any time. But the kicker is that you have to meet with them in person. Their shoes are expensive but well worth it if you spend much time in colonial style shoes.
