Although
originally designed
for the cavalry, these
stylish boots soon
caught on with gentlemen
and officers throughout
the armies of Europe
in the 17th Century.
Perfect for that swashbuckling
look of the 17th-early
18th century.
Many of these style
boots were discovered
in the sunken section
of Port Royal Jamaica.
Although we cannot
assume that buccaneers
in general, wore these
boots,(as Hollywood
would suggest), some,
wanting to play the
part of a gentleman,
would probably have
donned them, while
dressing up for a
night on the town.
These boots would
have been more of
a fashion statement,
rather than a necessity,
especially aboard
ship. Many Royal Navy
captains and privateer
captains probably
wore these as well
as buckle shoes.

Late
17th-Early to Mid
18th Century Bucke
Shoes
FINALLY,
ACCURATELY STYLED
SHOES FROM THIS PERIOD,
RIGHT DOWN TO THE
SMALLER BUCKLE, HIGH
HEEL AND SQUARE TOE.
A
lot of research has
gone into these shoes,
using pictures from
artifacts discovered
on the shipwreck Whydah,
as well as one of
Phips ships, and several
museum samples in
Europe. These shoes
are appropriate for
European and Colonial
civilians, soldiers,
pirates, etc. They
will be custom made
just like our musketeer/pirate
boots. Heels are nailed
and pegged. Available
in black or tan, rough
or smooth out, &
in sizes up to 13.
The Early style will
fit the 1680's-1720
period, and the Later
Style, from about
1710's-1740's. By
lowering the heel
and widening the latchets,
we can date the later
style shoe to about
1760's.
Style #2, Early shoes...................Style
#1, Later period shoes...........
The main difference
between the two, is
the side seam shape
& location on
the uppers.
***
IMPORTANT ***
WHEN
INQUIRING ON
OR ORDERING
THESE SHOES,
PLEASE REFER
TO THEM
SIMPLY AS EARLY
OR LATE STYLE
TO AVOID CONFUSION.

A
final note on shoes
made prior to the
mid 19th C: Since
all early shoes were
made individually
by cobblers for different
clients, styles varied
greatly, influenced
by economics, clients
taste, ethnic background,
etc. There was no
set pattern of shoe
from any period, only
general similarities.
