Positive aspects of the product (pros):
|
Civil war brogans are relatively inexpensive and fit well. The flexible tops aid in pulling the shoe on.
|
|
Negative aspects of the product (cons):
|
Leather heels wear quickly on pavement but that is a common problem with all brogans.if steel heel plates are not used.
|
|
I purchased a pair of Fugawee civil war brogans without heel plates and hobnails to wear on pavement during special events. I have two pairs of another, more expensive brogans with hob-nails and heel plates to wear on dirt and grass.

Although it may not be "period incorrect", the toe boxes in Fugawee's 18th century shoes are very "shallow". I've worn their shoes but have since switched to another makers' only for my comfort's sake. YMMV!

Well made with quailty leathers

Leather soles and heels are slippery but...they are period.
|

I ordered a pair of the "Concord" shoes with buckles, and a pair of the "Treking" boots. Althought I have narrow feet both pair fit well, look good and are comfortable. I would buy from them again. Fast reasonable shipping.

Wore extremely fast

First pair of reenactor shoes I bought. Ok at first, but then the heel nails came through the bottom. IMO, they are a one-year pair of shoes if you do a lot of reenacting. Buy metal plates for the heels!

Well made shoes but you will need to be careful if the ground is wet. Being leather soles watch your footing when walking on slopes. I added "hob nails" to the edge of the soles and heels which cured the problem. Now I can't go inside on the hard wood floors or I'm in deep trouble. The Jefferson boots I ordered are with the straight foot pattern (will fit either foot). If you get this style mark inside them for right "R" and left "L" (makes for a little more comfort when worn for a while). Good product, recommended.

I bought the wrong size Jefferson / Hi-Lo's, and they swapped them with no questions asked. They even paid to send the new pair to me! Since then, I've been surprised how comfortable they are. I'm a happy buyer.
