These shoes might just pass as low turnshoes. Especially when wore with leg wraps (assuming the the costume shown here is accurate). I just wish they weren't in black. Wait a minute...

Cool! And they're Doc's! Also, the rounded toe is closer to what I've seen in period shoes (closer than the slip-ons above, at least). Seems like it wouldn't be that hard to remove the bungee cord and replace it with leather cord. Or maybe a leather band with latchet closure. The fabric heel is a little obnoxious, but if I could make leg wraps in the same color, they might not be noticeable. I bet those things would be comfortable as hell to walk around Pennsic in.
