Kensington - Black Preworn Sample UK8.5

Size  UK 8.5 (EU 41/42, US 10.5)

These shoes have been worn once for a few hours, and thus have the buckle holes pre-punched. 

A different wearer may need to make new holes, or use the existing ones.

They are also old stock, thus a size not usually available.

Era: 1760-1790.  George III, American Colonial, American Rev. War.

The Kensington shoe is a fantastic all-round period shoe, as at home in a camp as in a palace. The seams make them correct for the latter part of the 18^th Century, and they can be dressed up or down depending on the buckle.   They have the pointed toe (hand-stretched) and Louis heel correct for the era.

Kensingtons, like most 18^th Century shoes, need buckles.  The price is without buckles, but you can either choose from the above selection or order them separately.

These shoes would also work incredibly well as a modern smart shoe, with the mid height, wide based heel, and the ability to change the buckles for a different look.
