I Made 2,700 Year Old Shoes

I made shoes that are more than 2000 years old! In this video, I attempt to make a pair of Iron Age shoes out of some secondhand jacket leather, and then take them for a walk in nature to see how they fare. Will they hold up? Will they be comfortable? Find out in this week's episode!

A huge thanks to my friend Devon for the inspiration. Here is her beautiful historical clothing shop:
