Some examples of shoe modifications for larp.
Although nowadays there´s a great selection of medieval shoes of every kind I normally modify modern ones for my outfits.
First row: Chaos, warm weather. A NoName watershoe has been equiped with a composite tip and glued and sewn with coarsely woven cloth. A leather patch covers the laces. The shoe is now a slip-on. Colours: acrylics.
Second row: a tactical boot (Brandit) with front zipper from Magnum. Composite tip and cloth again, the leather covers for the Zip fasten with velcro.
Here `s a link to the step-by-step documentation on my website:

Third row: grand Chaos Armour. Plateau shoes from New Rock "Tower" with composite covers, foam application and fur on the back. The cover has no need for flexibility because these soles don´t bend. The covers enlarge the already big shoesize from "omg" to "Sasquatch".
Fourth row: egyptian sandals for indoor use. Black rubber sandals from Temu have been drybrushed with acrylics. The colour holds quite well where the straps are not stretched. No permanent solution though.
Fifth row: egyptian. Egyptians normally wear flipflops with bent high triangular soles. I seriously doubt that this footwear is suitable even for a desert, let alone middle europe. So light Slazenger sneakers got felt tips and covers. The front triangle is composite. The top felt has been coated with one layer of composite and hieroglyphs made out of window colour contour have been added. The surface was then sealed with 50/50 glue and acrylics, then grounded black and drybrushed gold. The upper triangle holds with velcro.
