NEW BOOT FOR LADIES
The ladies have spoken and we have listened. No really, we were paying attention, honest. Many have have suggested that we produce another style of ladies boot that would be lighter in weight for those of you who spend most of your time indoors or who only attend warm weather events. A boot that was light in weight, not too hot for those deep south events and stylish, no one was willing to compromise on stylish. That really made sense to me so we sat about making a new ladies boot that we think will do just the trick. We hope you agree.
We have christened our new boot the "Virginia" in honor of our Tennessee author, Virginia French. The design of this boot was taken from several photos dated to the 1850s in which the subject's boots were clearly visible, as you can imagine finding photos of this type was not an easy task. Using high magnification we were able to collect enough information to prepare the pattern for the Virginia. The quality of both material and workmanship are outstanding. The comfort, from all reports, is unequaled and of course they come with the Blockade Runner one year warrantee. The best test of any item of footwear is to try it for yourself. We invite you to drop by and see just what all the fuss is about. We are currently stocking these boots in sizes 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5 and 10.

LADIES COTTON SLIPPERS
Our ladies cotton slippers, Chinese slippers as they are often called, are made with 100% cotton uppers with a rubber sole. They Fasten with a cotton strap and a small buckle. While these slippers are not the most authentic foot wear you can have they have long been a standard in the re-enacting community. They are very inexpensive so you can have a couple of pair just in case. Even if you have a very good pair of shoes or boots these work very well for "back ups".
How many times have you been to a re-enactment and not had wet feet due to rain or some type of mishap? They take up very little room when packed so you can always have a spare pair of dry shoes. They are available in sizes 5 through 12.

LADIES TRAVELING BOOT
If you've seen the movie "Cold Mountain" then you may have seen Nicole Kidman wearing a pair of Blockade Runner Ladies Boots. They are especially noticeable in the scene where she is getting undressed. According to one source they went missing off the set at the end of the shoot. Rumor has it that Ms. Kidman took them home with her! But then, who could blame her?
A Brand new pair of ladies traveling boots. This may be the best ladies boot we have ever made. Made from an original pair in our collection this boot really stands out. There has been so little to choose from when it comes to ladies foot wear, we thought this hobby really needed an outstanding ladies boot. We could not be happier with this one. It's 7 1/2 inches tall, made of top grade leather and the very best in craftsmanship. Brass eyelets, double row wooden pegged leather sole. Square nails fasten the heel, all just like the original. Available in full sizes only. Size 7 through 12. If you want a different size call or come by the store. We can make them but it will be a minimum of 8 weeks.
Comfort, did I mention comfort? Several ladies have already called or emailed me to tell me that they are the most comfortable boots they have ever owned! And not just their reenacting boots either. One lady stopped by, bought a pair and immediately went to 2 cemetery re-dedications where she was on her feet for a total of 4 hours. She went out of her way to stop back by and thank us for the boots. Remember if you don't like them, (there's probably something wrong with you) just send them back to us within 10 days in like new condition (that means you can't wear them to a reenactment and send them back) and we will refund your money minus shipping and restocking fee's.
And of course they're backed by our 1 year warranty against defects in material or workmanship.
HERE IS WHAT ONE RECENT CUSTOMER HAD TO SAY ABOUT OUR LADIES TRAVELING BOOTS
I received the boots today and I can not say enough. I love them! They are 100% more than I ever expected. They seem to be very comfortable and they look absolutely antique. Even more so than my original Victorian boots! I will be sure to pass the word on about your boots. Also the time from ordering till I received them was extremely short.
P.S. I have worn them around the house all day and my feet haven't hurt at all. They are comfortable right out of the box.
Thanks for a wonderful transaction.
Beth from Texas

WHITE COTTON LACING
Lacing that looks right is very hard to find so you can imagine how glad we were to get 1000 yards of this white cotton. You can cut it to any length and simply dip the ends in candle or bees wax to prevent fraying. Great for corsets, shoe and boot laces and 100 other sewing projects.
