From NS of Olathe, Kansas
I placed my online order for a pair of low-top moccasins on Sunday.  The shoes arrived today (Thursday).  Amazing service!!!  But the best part is -- I LOVE them!
 
Dolly even called me on Monday to double-check my size, and persuaded me to order the next-smaller size.  She was absolutely right, the smaller size is perfect.  Now THAT's customer service!  And -- I LOVE them!
 
I can't believe you processed this order so quickly, I can't believe you took the trouble to ensure I would be getting exactly the right thing, and I can't believe how attractive these shoes are and how comfortable they feel!  I LOVE them!
 
I purchased these shoes to wear at my daughter's celtic-themed wedding (in 3 wks) and now feel I am appropriately attired!  I am so impressed with your service and the quality of your product -- just wanted to say thank you very much and to let you know you have a customer for life.  What a pleasure it is to deal with people who demonstrate such a commitment to quality goods and outstanding customer service.  I can honestly say this was a completely unique experience.  I'll be back, and soon!  I LOVE you!
 
Many many thanks
 
 
 
From The Kissing Frog Fairy (Scarborough Fair)
One of the saddest parts of end of fair run for the year is not being able to see your smiling face and get a hug every weekend.
 
At least I have beautiful Purple shoes that make my feet happy.
 
With the end of season being a huge mud pit . . .(start with snow end with mud - sounds right somewhere) I was worried about my pretty new shoes.  I followed the care instructions . . .WOW.  Back to a Brilliant Bright Purple.  (Ok you said they would be . . .but you never know with bright colors)
 
I love my shoes . . .thank you for having the right pair at the right time for the right price.
 
Kiss Kiss
 
 
 
From BW of NY & Texas
My lowtops that I adopted in Texas are worth every penny I paid.
Your customer service and repair policy is second to none.
We all know Memorial weekend at Scarby was brutal on footwear.
I brought my low tops to Chela in NY at Sterling and they were fixed the same day.
I got 2 great pair of shoes (low top and tall boot) and have
recommended your shoes to anyone and everyone.
I think the next purchase will be the open toe sandal.
Thanks for a wonderful product!
 
 
From JT of Miamisburg, Ohio
I thank everyone envolved in making my moccins! I haven't ever walked due to progressive muscular dystrophy. I am a youg 47 yr. old, I refuse to let my mind think old! My feet and legs hurt so bad setting in this chair all day, all the swelling of my feet and ancles made it extreamly hard to find shoes for a lady as myself. I was at a ren.fest and my feet hurt so bad she sold me another brand of moccine they felt so good I orderd 5 diffeent styles, Then they were gone on the internt. Good thing because I found medieval moccins they are sylish ,cute, feel absolutly comfortabal! I ordered black low tops, ivory high tops, and a pair for my only grrandaughter 7mothes old. I love the craftmanship put in to thease shoes. Thank you! Now happy feet!
 
 
 
From NC of Saskatoon, Canada
I received my moccasins about a week ago.  They have to be one if not the only comfortable shoes that I have had in a very long time.  I have problems fitting shoes because my second toe is longer than my big toe.  Finding shoes at time is a very difficult problem as that toe always seem to get jammed at the front of the shoe and when that happens they always seen to tight around the ball of my feet as well.  Thank you from a new Canadian convert.  They are soooo comfortable.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
From NR of St Paul, MN
I just wanted to let you know that I recieved my black Low Top Moccasins in the mail yesterday!  And just WOW!  These are amazing comfort!  I'm actually on my way out the door to go north with family on vacation for a week - hopefully i can get a good picture of me & my new shoes up at the lake.
 
But I just wanted to say thank you for the email updates of my order and when they got shipped!  Excellent speed!
 
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!
 
I can't wait to wear these at my RenFest!
From GW of Ballston Spa, NY
I purchased a pair of moccasins back in june and after a week or so of "getting to know them", they quickly became a second skin and I wear them practically everywhere.
Attached is a shot from a trip I took in July out west. The picture was taken at Yosemity National Park.
Thanks for making such wonderful foot-ware!.

From KM of Arlington Heights, IL.
I got my moccasins primarily to go with a Madrigal costume, but I wear them with everything now. I have a chronic sprained ankle, chronic ingrown toenails (four surgeries so far to fix them), extraordinarily flat feet (my podiatrist said, "Wow, you have the flattest feet I've ever seen!" when he first saw them) and to top it off, my feet are two different sizes: an 8 and a 10. The moccasins are the ONLY shoes I have found that fit both of my feet, don't hurt my toes or arches, and don't strain my ankle. I recommend them to anybody-- wear med mocs for a day, then put normal shoes on, and you'll see what I mean! They're the only shoes worth wearing.
 
 

 
 
From GM of Bethel, CT
I ordered my first pair of the lowtop mocs a couple of years ago, to wear while selling roses for renfaires over the summer. I needed a pair of very comfortable shoes for all the walking rose girls do and they fit the bill perfectly.
I was so satisfied with my lowtops that i very reacently orderd the boots, they arrived this morning and im extatic, they look and feel absolutly wonderfull, i cant wait for fair season up here to start so i can show them off!
Thank You!.
 
 

 
From H. of Albany, New York
My moccasins arrived today! The leather is so soft, and comforter. My mom is so jealous of them now she wants a pair. They will work perfectly with my renaissance costume as well as many other outfits. I'm so glad I bought them. Now I want a pair in every color. Thanks so much. I hope to be ordering more as soon as I can.

 
 

From S.J. of
California
I just wanted to add my comments. I love these shoes. I was wearing uncomfortable shoes to a Celtic Festival when I stumbled upon your booth and on a whim bought a pair of sandals.
That was two years ago and I have been wearing them whenever I can since. They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever had! And versatile -- I wear them to work, shopping, they go with just about anything and on any surface. They are also more durable than I would have imagined -- rocks, dirt, sand, grass, even getting them a little wet has not affected them.
My 9-year-old daughter hates shoes and has a hard time fitting into them. I plan on buying her a pair of close-toed medieval moccasins to wear to school. I am sure once she tries them she won't want to take them off.
 
Thanks for saving my feet! 

 
 
 
From S & K of Manitoba,Canada
I am so happy that I found these wonderful moccasins for our wedding day.  We had a renaissance theme wedding and the shoes were more than perfectly suited for the occasion.  I have had nothing but compliment after compliment, and honestly more people took pictures of my shoes than of us!  I chose red to match K's Royal Canadian Mounted Police uniform.  Thank you so much for the incredible addition to my wedding attire!
P.S. My mom and sister had moccasins as well and loved them! 

 
 
From RV of Wisconsin
I just wanted to let you all know that I am another delighted customer.  I am slowly working up a repertoire of your wonderful shoes, for both myself and my baby daughter!  Your shoes are extremely comfortable, which is great for me as an avid walker.  They are also versatile for casual and dress clothes.  I appreciate your business - you have such a good quality product, along with fast service.  I can't wait to purchase more of your shoes!

 
From GW
Just got the shoes. They are WONDERFUL, and exactly what I wanted! They fit my feet so well
it almost feels like I'm barefoot! Thanks SO MUCH for all of the time and effort you've taken with this order. You've made a customer for LIFE!

 
 
From PE of Texas
I love your shoes and they are all I wear now. (I have diabetes & rheumatoid arthritis) I'm no longer in pain caused by my shoes. Thank You!

 
From MG of Arizona
Thank you so much for creating and supplying these shoes. I absolutely love them. They are the best running shoes ever and terrific for all sorts of activities. I am wearing them for running 5-6 miles a day, climbing our local mountain, golfing, cycling, racquetball, business dress, and even looking sorta hot in a tight skirt. I'd like to order more. Not for the period costume thing but for daily living and happy feet. Thanks again for making such a wonderful shoe.

 
From HC of California
I came upon your booth at the Calaveras Celtic Faire this year and was intrigued with their design and the comfort they claimed to have. I tried them on and instantly knew that these were the shoes I had been searching for to take on our family’s European vacation.
I wore them while walking the streets of London, Venice, Florence and the ruins in Rome and Pompeii. I had also taken along a pair of sandals and tennis shoes, but found that after several hours my feet were hurting in them. So I decided to forgo all other shoes and wear my moccasins the entire time. I am now trying to decide on the next color to purchase.

 
From JG of Baltimore MD
I just wanted to thank you so much! My moccasins arrived today and they are gorgeous! I bought them for all the events that I go to for Markland and so I would have them for my first Pennsic this year. I am even going to see if I can get away with wearing them at work! And as soon as I can afford more, I will be buying them in every color of the rainbow! Thank you for your excellent, excellent workmanship!

 
From S. & J. H. of Niagara Falls, ON, Canada
I have been anticipating the arrival of our moccasins, and just yesterday, I picked them up from the post office and waited till I got home to open the package -- with much excitement! since I have been wanting a pair for over a couple years now. They were the perfect colour brown and fit incredibly well to my foot! They are as comfortable as you say! I wore them around the house for hours and they inspired me to dress up (as if it was warm summer weather here in cold ontario!). And it was so cute, as I put on my daughter J's (10 months) moccasins (matching to mine), she stood up, then looked down at her feet, and began her journey walking around the house. She walks great in them and they look so sweet! I now understand how they will grow with her feet, since you can adjust the rosette to become wider, and there are no restrictions.
Thank You for creating such a beautiful pair of moccasins for J and I. I have a feeling my friends are all going to want a pair after seeing mine.
What I really like about them is that I know they are going to be a versatile shoe. They are incredibly comfortable. I can wear them casually, or dress them up. They are very earthy, yet sexy, as they lace up around the ankle! (my husband thinks so!)
Thanks again! And when I ordered them, you were extremely helpful & friendly. That makes me like them even more!

 
From A. & the C. Clan
I bought a pair of these for each of my family, tall boots for my hubby, high tops for me and a pair of low tops for my son and daughter. We’’ve had them for two years now and they never cease to amaze me. I find myself wearing them all the time. Recently, I was in a serious auto accident and was having severe back pain, I stopped wearing anything but my moccasins, as my feet where injured by the gas and brake pedals. With the Medieval Moccasins, I was able to loosen them up and be comfy in shoes while my feet healed. They aren’’t just for the ren fair!! Thank you for the comfort. We all love our moccasins!!

 
From A.H. of Harway, California
I met Jean (lovely lady with silver hair and British accent) in line for coffee at the Escondido Ren Faire. I admired her shoes and told her so. Was I ever happy when I found she sold them. I went by the booth that afternoon and had my pair fitted. They were so comfortable, I talked my booth partner, into trying on a pair. We are living proof that once you try on a pair of Medieval mocs, you won't want to take them off! I wore them to work today and they are not only fashionable but comfortable as well. I get this indescribable sensation of "better than barefoot" because it is as comfortable as bare feet, but with the convenience of shoes-no rocks, stones or broken glass! Now I am going to have to buy a pair in every color!
Blessings to you and thank you very much!

 
From C.
When I first bought the shoes, I bought them for looks as anything else. I had read all the comments about people wearing them for every day and wondered how on earth they could do that when they were so simple. Today, I wore them to opening day at Ren Faire and I was so surprised to discover that my feet weren't any more tired than they'd normally be after a day of walking around, let alone walking around on such uneven terrain!
I am very impressed with your shoes and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone :)

 
From J. M.
The moccasins are amazing. I wear mine every day. That's why I need more pairs, so I can have different colors. I can't tell you how many people have stopped me to ask where I got such cool looking shoes & are they comfortable. Are they comfortable? They're like walking barefoot through the forest! (They don't believe me, but they probably don't believe in fairies either!) I carry little cards in my purse with your web site, email addy & phone #'s so they can check them out for themselves.

 
From B. P.
I just received my low top moccasins yesterday and wanted you to know how much I like them. They are just as you describe them and the leather....well, it's the softest stuff!! Like bedroom slippers rather than shoes. Can't wait to put them with my costume for the RennFest here in Maryland! I think I'll just stop by your shop and pick up another pair.
Thanks for the quick delivery

From D.
I just wanted you to know that I have been wearing my moccasins every day since I got them 7/04 at Faerieworlds. I was so pleased with them, that I bought a pair for my husband for Yule & another pair for myself. Here in Oregon, we have inclement weather much of the year & I have worn them through wind, rain, snow, mud, muck & even sunshine without any problems (except for having to let them dry out once in a while - I love that you can throw them in the washer to clean). I even wear them to work security at the university & I can stand many more hours in them than I could in "outer world" shoes. So many people ask me where to get them & I direct them your way.
I hope that I'll see you again at Faerieworlds this year so I can buy another pair in a different color. I'm going to buy at least 1 pair a year until I have every color.
In the meantime, I'll keep wearing the only shoes that I have ever found that are so comfortable that it feels like I'm walking barefoot.
Thanks so much from some very grateful feet.
From L.
I just wanted to write and let you know I wore my burgundy high-tops all day yesterday, and I kept looking at my feet because I couldn't take my eyes off the moccasins. They're lovely, and they'll be fabulous for my European trip (you're right - they do pack down small).
Thanks again for all your help,
 
From Dana S.
Hello You All:
I am so very pleased with my new moccasins!! They are simply beautiful and just what I was looking for. Wished I had found your site a long time ago.
You have really got the Celtic footwear down to a science. My congratulations to you on getting it right!
I have searched and searched many sites for a shoe like this, and haven't had any luck until now. Please accept my gratitude and love for your workmanship.

From Ryan and Donna
The moccasins came yesterday. I put them right on Ryan and adjusted the rosette. He wore them for a couple of hours yesterday afternoon with no problems. I do have to tie the laces very loosely to keep them from making marks across the top of Ryan's foot, but that is not a problem as his foot is on the footrest of the wheelchair and the shoes won't come off. Ryan wore his moccasins all morning this morning. I just took them off when I put him in bed for a nap. He did not want them taken off!!! There were no marks on his feet anywhere. The fit is wonderful for these little feet that bow up in the middle due to his cerebral palsy. Thank you soooooo much for all the help. I will let you know again how the shoes do after he has worn them all day for a few days. These are the first shoes or sandals that Ryan has been able to wear for hours with no rubs or marks anywhere on his feet. They are so soft and flexible that they easily conform to all the curves of his feet.

From Susan
Just wanted to let you know that I traveled in New Zealand for 4 weeks with my moccasins. They packed down into a miniscule space in my bag which meant I could take all 6 pairs.
After a hard day's tramping, to come home and slip on the moccasins was a boon to aching feet. I wore them on the days not spent tramping and they were just as comfortable.
Anyone traveling OS who has your shoes should take them.

 

From Samantha
Thanks so very much for your continued excellence and making my feet happy, happy, happy.

 

From Juliana
... what I could possibly wear that would look good and feel good. NOW I KNOW. I will definitely send you another order as soon as I can.

From Julie of Baltimore, Maryland
You have converted a skeptic! I wear an orthotic and have knee trouble when I don't...so for years I was a Doc Marten girl, even wearing them with my Renfest garb. Last year at the Maryland Renaissance festival I tried a pair on and I didn't buy them because I thought they wouldn't give enough support for the orthotic. This year I splurged for a pair of low-tops "just to go with the costume." I've been wearing them more often than I would ever have dreamed possible, without the knee trouble that I feared. I walk everywhere and I don't have a car...my shoes are my "cars." And what great cars these are! Thanks so much!

From Mary of New Jersey
Thank you for your super fast delivery and, most of all, the top quality.

From T. & W. H.
On behalf of "Troublemaker" and myself I'd like to say thank you! Our moccasins arrived on Saturday, they fit wonderfully, we ran around the house in them for hours and I can't begin to imagine how they can become any more comfortable than they already are!

From D.K.
I received my moccasins, and they are absolutely stunning! (And comfortable!)
Thank you so much for your beautiful craftsmanship.

From S.
My shoes arrived safe and sound - and, after wearing them (non-stop) since their arrival, I can unequivocally say, "They're a dream!!"
Thank you very, very much!!!

From A.H.
Oh, my GOD!!!!
I got my shoes and could anything be softer or more comfortable??? They're beautiful! Yeah, Dolly was right, I'm yours. I love them, I love them! Thank you, thank you, thank you for what you do! I can't wait till my co-workers get a load of these! :)

From S.M.
Well, they showed up today and they are BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! They are exactly what I wanted. Perfect! Thank you so much for getting them to me so quickly! ... Thanks again

From S.R. of Baltimore, MD
Everything was perfect. Thank you. ... As I alternate among my 3 pairs, they are a joy to wear, so what you have done is make each day I put them on a day I feel like dancing! (Multiply that by 365 days x number of wearers and I must say "God bless you!")

From J.L.
My feet haven't felt this good in years!

From D.
I wish to take the time to say I am a very pleased customer. I have worn my low tops to work in, play in, and run around town in. I have enjoyed them so much in the past year and 8 months that I plan on getting another pair so that I can get my first pair resoled before I start to wear the leather.

From M.
The day my purple sandals came felt like a BIRTHDAY!!! I LOVE THEM.

From M.R.
These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever had.

From R.B. of Gambrillis, MD
I am sure you hear it all the time, but your shoes are wonderful. Because I have diabetes, my feet need special care. Your shoes help provide this special need.

From D.G
I brought my first pair of shoes 8 years ago from you. I wear them constantly - I throw them in the wash by your suggestion. Just love them - have bought 3 more since. Now buying for my children. My (almost) 4 year old has hard to fit feet - I just know he will love them!

From L.K. of Silver Spring, MD
I have worn a pair of low tops for nearly four years - so-o-o-o-o comfortable and get so many favorable comments.

 

From S.R of Baltimore, MD
Thank you for your craft & artisanship - your lovely shoes seem to bring people joy wherever I go.

From B.S
You can be assured that not only will we remain loyal customers, I have sung your praises to everyone I know whether they belong in the SCA or not!

From J.M. of Dallas, TX
Thanks so much for all the fun and comfort I've had in the last year and half with my own moccasins. They are truly unique!

From P.T. of Bowie, MD
On Sunday I attended the Renaissance Festival in Crownsville, MD. After walking all over for hours my feet were killing me. We stopped by Medieval Moccasins and out of desparation I purchased a pair of your low top moccasins. I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful they are and now I am sorry I did not purchase a pair of the open toe sandals. You can be sure I will show all of my friends as we are attending the Apple Festival in Biglersville, PA which is two days of serious walking.

From S.B. of Paris, France
Just received the shoes and they do are gorgeous !! wow ...I tried them on and fit me just like gloves !!! and they are comfy, gorgeus and so feminine that my sister, who was in for the delivery found them very attractive ... now she longs for a pair ... Honestly, they are well designed, comfy, gorgeous and above all so handsomely hand made, light to be worn ... it's a pure delight ... so hard to be found over here that I will undoutedbly draw attention to my feet !! :o)))) ... Therefore, congratulations to you all for such lovely designs ...

From H.L.
Thank you for the wonderful moccasins! They matched my dress perfectly, and I appreciated the quick shipment. I loved having such comfortable shoes for dancing. I was exhausted by the end of the day, but my feet were still happy.

From Helen F. L.
Thank you for the wonderful moccasins! They matched my dress perfectly, and I appreciated the quick shipment. I loved having such comfortable shoes for dancing. I was exhausted by the end of the day, but my feet were still happy. Here's a photo of my husband helping me off the horse at the beginning of the ceremony.

From M.
I received my shoes yesterday! They are the perfect size. They are so comfortable and so beautiful! Thank you so much! I am very happy with them!

From Carol
I've received the moccasins. Thank you sooo much. I love them!! They are so comfortable!! I have never had a pair of shoes that are comfortable the day I put them on. Most shoes that I buy I have to "wear in". NOT THESE!!! I wore the moccasins all day and my feet feel GREAT!! My daughter saw them and she loves them too!! Might be another order in the future. Thank you!!!

From C.S.G. of Fort Worth, Texas
I want to thankyou all so much!!! Had trouble with my feet and shoes for years(until I got some low tops!) I bought a pair one morning two years ago at Scarbourough Faire and by that afternoon I was back for another pair. I wear them all the time and they've held up perfect. Had no problems at all and can't believe how good they feel!!!

From A.O.
I loved these moccasins so much, that over the past 6 years I have purchased several pairs for dress and casual. My husband and daughter now each have a pair AND I nearly have all of my co-workers convinced about their comfort. My feet will never be the same :)

From Jane M.
Dear Elf: I just love my black low-top Medieval Moccasins! Sadly, afer about a decade of faithful service, the laces on them have finally given out. I want to order some replacement laces right away so I can get right back into my moccasins.

From C.H. of Winnipeg, Canada
oooooooh, sigh of pleasure!!!!! ;o) You're misnamed--you should be known as angels, not elves!!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOOOOOVE my new shoes!! Thank you soooo much!!!!! I'll be back!

 

From S.F.
I got the shoes and they are perfect!!!!!! You did a fantastic job!!!! After the wedding, I may order more from you. They are very comfortable. Thanks for making my feet look as pretty as my dress on my wedding day!!!! I will tell everybody I know about your craftsmanship.

 
 
 

From C.T.
Hello there. Just wanted to let you know I received the beautiful moccasins you made for my bridesmaid and myself. I am very happy with them. My bridesmaid has not yet tried hers on. Hopefully they will fit. Thank you for your wonderful craft.

From S.M.
Hi Dolly - I got my tall boots today and they fit superbly. They will look just great with my kilt, too. Thank you.

From Mary in Fremont, CA.
