For those of you who work in historical homes where authentic foot wear is required but pegs and heel plates are out of the question on the hardwood floors, we now offer thin rubber soles attached to any of our shoes or boots.
This works great if you attend balls and affairs at historical sites as well. Not only does it protect their floor, but it will keep you from busting your, - - - well you get the idea.
Be sure of your size because adding rubber soles is a custom order and there is no return.

PECARD LEATHER DRESSING
Pecard's Leather Dressing has long been known in the Civil War relic community as the best leather dressing for restoring original leather of Civil War era artifacts. But there is no need to wait until your leather gear becomes hard, brittle and starts to crack before you start using Pecard. Just a little Pecard's rubbed onto your leather a couple of times a year will keep it soft and looking good for many a long campaign. It works great on any leather with any finish. It's great for boots ... and shoes too!
For restoring antique leather goods use multiple coats of Pecard, allowing an appropriate amount of drying time (drying time depends on weather conditions) between coats.

ATLANTA DEPOT SHOES
Brown Suede Confederate Shoes. So why are we referring to these as "Atlanta Depot" shoes? Because we know that the Atlanta Depot had a leather splitter for the purpose of making shoe leather. When you split leather it makes suede. Since Atlanta Depot was a large producer of shoes it just sort of make seance now don't it.
This is one great looking CS shoe. Face it boys, we could not have stolen every pair of shoes for the entire war from dead yankees. At some point we would have had a pair of southern made shoes. I'm very happy with the look and the comfort of these. I'm sure you will be too.
These are very similar in style to our black suede finish shoes that you have been wearing for years. Same high quality with same great one year guarantee. No one stands behind their products like we do. But you already know that. We do not currently have a good heal plate for this shoe. We are working on it and I'm sure we will have one before the end of the summer season. Currently we are only carrying the most common sizes.

Cavalry or Officers boots
We are proud to offer these high quality boots to our customers for the first time. We have been developing these boots in cooperation with an over seas manufacturer for the last year, after numerous prototypes and field trials we believe these are the best boot on the market and they are made exclusively for The Blockade Runner. Made from fine quality black leather with beautiful stitching. They're 20 inches tall with thick sewn soles and heel plates included and already attached to provide years of hard field service, or for dress parade and the ball room, they are as handsome as they are tough!!
Like all Blockade Runner products these boots come with a 10 day money back or exchange inspection period. After that they are fully warranted for one year against any defects in materials or workmanship. If anything should happen to your boots excluding abuse or fire damage for one year, we will replace or repair your boots (our choice) free of charge!!!
Here's one e mail we received from a satisfied customer.
"I'm a 1st Lt. with a Virginia Cavalry Unit. I recently bought a pair of boots from you and I must say that they are very good. While at the New Market event it rained constantly. Everyone else in the units socks were turned black by their wet boots, but not mine."
"At Appomattox it rained too and one of our troopers who bought a pair of boots from another company had the soles torn right off his feet by the deep mud. I told him he should have bought his boots from the Blockade Runner!
Thanks for great quality boots.

Putting spurs on your boots is really very simple. As you can see in the photo the spur strap simply feeds through the slots that are in each side of the spur. Then adjust the strap to the proper length needed and slip onto your boot with the strap going under your heel. That's pretty simple.
We have 3 types of spurs, The Eagle Head Spurs for officers, the Richmond Style Spur which has a flat body (as seen in the photo above right) and the typical Union style spur which had a more common rounded body.

WW II G.I. DOUBLE BUCKLE BOOTS
So many of our customers are doing other time periods we thought we could help with some of those hard to find items.
Here's your chance to get a great deal on a brand new pair of Reproduction World War 2 Government Issue Double Buckle Boots. I know some of you have been on a waiting list with other companies for a year or more and at a higher price. Like my Ol' Granddaddy used to say, "Boy, don't be a sap!" You don't have wait any more. These boots are painstakingly designed to be an exact copy or the originals. Everything right down to the last detail is a perfect match including the sole design. This is one tough pair of boots. You can expect to get years of tough field service out of these babies. They come with a full one year warranty that covers everything except abuse or fire damage. (You gotta grease em once in a while) It takes a good day to break them in but I didn't even wet mine. I just strapped em on and went hiking. In no time flat they were as comfortable as old sneakers.
I'm sure you've already figured out that the boot in the photo left, far left, is an original boot. And the boot in photo left, on the right is one of our repro's that I have been wearing for a year.
The boots in photo right are a brand new pair of our boots. This is what yours will look like when you receive them.
If you would like to compare our boots to an unissued pair of originals, just look in Shelby Stanton's book "U.S. Army Uniforms Of World War II" on page 252, middle photo. According to Mr. Stanton every G.I. in Europe had been issued this boot before the end of July 1944.
You can't tell it from my old worn out original boot but the color is a perfect match (when the boot was new that is). Our new repro is made with the ruff side out just like the original. It is polished down so it doesn't show well in the "new boots" photo but it is. If you have big fat calves these may not buckle, the originals are 12 inches wide at the top when buckled in the last hole. My boots are a little larger at the top for us more modern (fatter) types. About 13 1/2 inches.
and like all blockade runner brand boots and shoes they come with a one year warranty. The best in the game!
I have been wearing my pair for almost 2 years now and I'm here to tell you this is one comfortable, well built boot. I'm sure you'll think so too.
Available in sizes 8 through 13

LADIES TRAVELING BOOT
If you've seen the movie "Cold Mountain" then you may have seen Nicole Kidman wearing a pair of Blockade Runner Ladies Boots. They are especially noticeable in the scene where she is getting undressed. According to one source they went missing off the set at the end of the shoot. Rumor has it that Ms. Kidman took them home with her! But then, who could blame her?
A Brand new pair of ladies traveling boots. This may be the best ladies boot we have ever made. Made from an original pair in our collection this boot really stands out. There has been so little to choose from when it comes to ladies foot wear, we thought this hobby really needed an outstanding ladies boot. We could not be happier with this one. It's 7 1/2 inches tall, made of top grade leather and the very best in craftsmanship. Brass eyelets, double row wooden pegged leather sole. Square nails fasten the heel, all just like the original. Available in full sizes only. Size 7 through 12. If you want a different size call or come by the store. We can make them but it will be a minimum of 8 weeks.
Comfort, did I mention comfort? Several ladies have already called or emailed me to tell me that they are the most comfortable boots they have ever owned! And not just their reenacting boots either. One lady stopped by, bought a pair and immediately went to 2 cemetery re-dedications where she was on her feet for a total of 4 hours. She went out of her way to stop back by and thank us for the boots. Remember if you don't like them, (there's probably something wrong with you) just send them back to us within 10 days in like new condition (that means you can't wear them to a reenactment and send them back) and we will refund your money minus shipping and restocking fee's.
And of course they're backed by our 1 year warranty against defects in material or workmanship.
HERE IS WHAT ONE RECENT CUSTOMER HAD TO SAY ABOUT OUR LADIES TRAVELING BOOTS
I received the boots today and I can not say enough. I love them! They are 100% more than I ever expected. They seem to be very comfortable and they look absolutely antique. Even more so than my original Victorian boots! I will be sure to pass the word on about your boots. Also the time from ordering till I received them was extremely short.
P.S. I have worn them around the house all day and my feet haven't hurt at all. They are comfortable right out of the box.
Thanks for a wonderful transaction.
