I'm still mystified why regular re-enactment shoe vendors don't sell smaller sizes,We simply make them; they're not that hard. At this point (because the kids keep growing out of them) we have several sizes available for other member's kids.
Mr. Crowther,
Thanks for the replies. We have a few book-smart academics and a military historian with this embryonic bunch, but not so much practical experience. I absolutely agree the kids will need to have the interest or it is a waste of everyone's effort. It is the same with sports.
The concensus obviously is carbatinae for the children as the most realistic and practical shoes. I need to pick a few RAT brains as to ordering as we have no workshop available. For this spring/summer we just need to get as equipped as we can.
