For the man who has everything, how about a nice pair of medieval long toed shoes, like the ones depicted in the picture below?

Well, this is what I have created for myself.  The shoes are not completely finished yet, but already look very good, and have already been used at two demos.

The top of the right shoe

They were made by converting a pair of “wet shoes”, by covering them with leather.  The pattern I made during the process, however, is capable of producing other pairs of shoes completely from scratch, which I may try to do at a later date.
