Just a quick note on some problem solving I did regarding our leather viking shoes for runestone. All of our viking actors will be in leather viking style shoes. Unfortunately, the leather soles are rather slick. This is one place where not killing our actors had to out-weigh staying a viking purist. The challenge was how to give some traction without compromising the look of the shoe sole. My solution was to rough up the sole with sand paper, then apply a thin layer of clear shoe goo. After it’s been worn in the sand any remaining shine should be taken out of the goo, giving it a passably period look.
