How to Make Viking Shoes



Therese of Earth and Living figured out how to construct shoes like those worn by Medieval Scandinavians. It's not as simple as you might think, but it's a quite feasible craft project for the non-professional leatherworker. She provides step-by-step instructions with pictures from start to finish. Once you're done, grab a sword and go raiding!

They are basically the same (minus the felt linings) as Gillies, used for Irish dancing by my seven-year-old daughter.

I prefer my answer: your eye(s), which both run and "swim" with tears, sleep in rest, and are said to "grow" wide in wonder. Though you may not see your eyes every day, you could say the same of your legs to some extent.
