i have been wanting to make myself a pair of confederate wooden soled shoes, i have seen an original pair in the Museum of Appalachia out here in tennessee, the civil war not being their main field of interest knew very little about the shoes, they had wooden soles with with heel plates and a strip of metal that ran the bottom edge of the sole, the upper was of leather constructed in a similer style to a federal brogan except fewer button holes, the upper was attached to the sole with what appeared to be either brass or possibly copper tacks of nails. i was wondering if anyone has seen another pair of these shoes or knows anything of them, any information would be appreciated.
