Peasant‘s shoes
Medieval peasant’s shoes and Opanci are primitive low leather shoes, which are laced around the ankles and calves. They were worn by Slavonic peoples in highlands in the past. Common peasant was moving on the fields and in the mountains day and night. Medieval peasant’s shoes were so popular that they were worn until World War I. They are part of the traditional Slavic folk costumes today.
Medieval peasant’s shoes were worn not only in Central Europe; similar shoes were made also in different localities of the world. Also American Indians, Asians or Inuit wore these shoes.
Today medieval peasant’s shoes are made primarily from cowhides. Pigskin, calfskin or goatskin was used in the past. It is necessary to wear footwraps or woollen socks into medieval peasant’s shoes in cold weather.
