Shoes I want to buy

I'm considering buying one, two, or all of these:

Buttoned boots (textile)

for 18th c stuff? (textile)


Buttoned shoes. (synthetic leather)

Probably not these or these, but they're cool. (both leather)


I like these (leather)a lot too, but I don't really picture myself in knee high boots.


They're all from DinSko, a swedish shoe chain and none of them are really expensive. But I couldn't get all of course, but maybe two pairs, OR the high boots. The problem is that those I like most are not made of leather and I prefer leather shoes.


Later I ended up just buying the buttoned boots. The buttoned shoes very lovely, but too large for me, I have broad, but thin feet, so I could easily get in them without unbuttoning them and my feet move around. I didn't like the finish of the second shoes and I decided that I didn't need the lovely open-and-laced leather shoes, since the heel was rather too high for everyday use. But the boots were even prettier in person.

16th century man's shirt

Look at this portrait. His shirt has a turndown collar, which isn't that uncommon, but still more rare than a ruffle, and it looks like it's buttoned with what seems to be fabric covered buttons!

Edited Lia corrected me; I should look first and post later, he's of course wearing a white doublet over shirt. But I'm keeping the post here to remind me to think first and talk later :)
