Greetings,
=20
I am a lurker to the group and have been reading intently most
everything posted.  I have decided recently to try my hand and a pair of
turn shoes (the Jorvik ankle boot type) and I have a few questions.  I
have worked a bit with leather, creating knife scabbards, arrow quivers
and a few other odds and ends, but I=92ve never tried something as
ambitious as this.
=20
I=92ve read several web sites and have a few patterns of the ankle boot
that I=92d like to try.  My questions are this;
=20
1.	What weight leather should I use?
2.	I wear a size 9 to 9 =BD (US measurement, 8.5 UK and 42.5
European), about how many square feet (US measurement) of leather will I
need?
3.	Which pattern would be easiest or best for a first timer?
4.	Do I need a heavier weight for soles or do I even need to attach
a separate sole?
5.	Should I make the boots to fit the foot or should I make them a
bit larger to accommodate stockings?
6.	Can prescription inner soles be used inside and how would one
pad the shoe bottom?
=20
Any other ideas suggestions or comments please let me know via the
internet posts.  I really need some help on this info.
=20
Thanks,
