Some of these can be turned into moccasin-style lace-up-the-front boots as well. Lengthen both the tongue and the sides and increase the width of the sides, tapering out a little to allow for the increasing size of the doll's calf.
And let's not forget I. Marc Carlson's very useful "Footwear of the Middle Ages" site, which has sketches of extant shoe patterns (& the shoes dug up, too): http://www.personal.utulsa.edu/~marc-carlson/shoe/SHOEHOME.HTM Poke around the website to find how-tos, what's known, patterns (& where they're from), etc. Because a medieval style gown looks better when not worn with s***-kicking platforms because nothing else is available.

A few of these still work, but most do not. Anyone have any new ones? I am pretty sure I can do the “shoes” I need without a pattern, but they might look better if I have one lol
Pro-tip. When you find a free pattern on the internet, make sure to save a copy, whether or not you are going to use it right now. You might be able to find some of these using the Internet Archive Wayback Machine, but it is not guaranteed.
This is awesome! Thank you so much for posting all of these. Ive wanted to make shoes for awhile and now I may actually give it a try!
