BRETT WALKER SHOE MAKER HOW TO
In my time at Fort Ligonier, I learned how to take measurements, pattern, carve an insole, and shape an outsole.This trip to Fort Ligonier allowed me to further my understanding and education on the subject of shoes to bring back to the Museum for our daily education programs and special workshops. They we popular with both the gentry, but also sailors as well. A pump in the 18th century meant a quality, light men's shoe, often with a smaller heel. Today, pumps mean something completely different now than they did back then. This made them nice for dancing and easier to make, and so we resolved to start me on a pair of turn dancing pumps. In the 18th century, turn shoes were usually very light, and it was not the strongest method of constructing a shoe. This was the primary method of shoemaking during the medieval period and continued into the 18th century until it was gradually phased out with fashions and methods of production. Turn shoes are shoes that are made partly inside-out and flipped halfway through production. This began with an introduction of how to make “turn shoes”. The other half of my time at Fort Ligonier was devoted to the continued development of my own skills as a shoemaker. This extends to shoes we have in the collection at the Museum, including at least one 18th-century man’s shoe. Documenting shoes as we did will be essential for the understanding of these shoes in future generations. One of the problems of leather shoes is that they are very difficult to preserve, meaning many collections of shoes are simply crumbling to dust. The bulk of the process involved drawing the surviving pieces and capturing as many details as possible. The Fort Ligonier collection would be a perfect training ground for my first foray into studying surviving shoe fragments.
Fifty years later, Brett Walker, a trained shoemaker, has been studying them and putting them back together, taking on one of the most difficult jigsaw puzzles in the world!Brett invited me to Ligonier for two main objectives: to continue studying shoemaking and to learn the science of “calceology.” Calceology is a subset of archaeology that focuses on the study of extant footwear. In the 1960s, archaeology began on this pit, uncovering hundreds of shoes, which were sorted and carefully preserved. This trash pit was then covered over by British engineers in 1759, sealing it from the weather and deterioration for the next 200 years. In 1759, as British soldiers and camp followers were building and living around the fort, they dumped their trash, which included their worn-out shoes, into a ditch that ran into the local river – the Loyalhanna. The fort also has possibly the greatest collection of surviving 18th-century shoes from a very narrow time period. Fort Ligonier loaned us a six-pound bronze cannon for use in our special exhibition, Hamilton Was Here: Rising Up in Revolutionary Philadelphia, that ran from Oct. Although it was decommissioned as a fort in 1766, it was reconstructed in the late 20th century. Built in 1758, it featured prominently in the French and Indian War as well as “Pontiac’s Rebellion” in 1763. I recently drove out to Fort Ligonier, in the foothills of the Allegany mountain range about an hour outside of Pittsburgh, to further my shoemaking education.
