This is the pattern I use to make my Viking turn shoes and boots.
This is only the pattern, no instructions: for visual instructions, check out the two videos included under the photos!
Make sure you print each page at its original or 100% size. The red borders should be within the printing bounds of a typical desktop printer, where you then cut and assemble the pieces together.
After printing, verify the size by placing your foot on the paper, and seeing if the back of your heel and your toe match with the lines on the sole.
Please contact me know if you have any questions! I do not provide refunds, but I'm happy to help you in any way I can.
Recommended Materials:
- 10-11oz veg tan leather for the soles
- 3oz soft leather for the upper

The ankle turnshoe and the turnshoe boot patterns are really lovely, coming in several sizes, individually printed. The only improvement I would like to see is the evening out of the spacing of stitching hole marks. Some are far apart while others are almost too close. It's easy enough to white-out the existing hole dots and re-space them on both sole and uppers, it's just time consuming. It's my only complaint. Otherwise the fit is good. Because of the way the shoe upper is designed, the turnout process is WAY easier than some other patterns. Oh yes, I would recommend this pattern for anyone, beginner or more experienced maker.
The pattern looks to have been drawn at a small size. When printing to scale, say a size 10 US, any small drawing issues are enhanced. The outlines become very thick. Things just don't line up. I would suggest that you use a software program that retains a thin outline as you enlarge the image. Also, fix the stitching hole patterns so that they are equally divided.
I was unable to make your shoes correctly.
A good example of how a good pattern for a shoe is created, at several sizes, is any pattern created by dieselpunkro on YouTube.
Actually, I would like a refund if you so choose...
The pattern was good and very helpful to have for my first time. I wish there was more instructions but I managed.
Very good pattern. Though some instructions would be nice to have in the pattern file. Video on youtube was good. Also would be nice to put list of tools to the pattern and recommended thickness of leather for souls.
Well explained pattern, looking forward make this!
