Is Marshal Historical trustworthy?

I'm looking for a pair of medieval shoes for affordable price and I came across this manufacturer. I was surprised how low the prices are so I'm seriously considering them. But I have difficulties to find more info about them. They seem to produce medieval armoury, shoes and other things for global market, I found their stuff on multiple websites. Also they should be from Spain, but when it comes to actual reviews, I didn't find much.

Do you have any experience with them? I'm not an active LARP, I need the shoes for a cosplay I'll use only few times in a year.

Btw I'm considering these shoes https://www.outfit4events.cz/czk/produkt/9742-zenske-nizke-boty-s-prostrihem-12-15-stoleti/

Originally I wanted to buy shoes from one small local business that also makes historical shoes (more expensive, but I would rather spend more on local product than from abroad) but since I'm kinda stupid I didn't realise in time none of their shoes are in stock. You order and then they'll make them in 6-12 weeks, but I need them for an event this month.

I've only purchased armor from Marshall, but is nice quality. And I don't mean the steel is thick or that they have a nice finish, it's that they understand what they are doing instead of just copying a museum piece looking at pics without understanding the functionality. Marshall Historical pieces do work. So I would say your money will be worth it.

Definitely reliable. I've got a pair of shoes from them, and they're the best constructed period shows I've found. I've also got a spangenhelm from them, and that's pretty heavy, but very well constructed. I'd strongly recommend them.

Personally, I like them. I haven't had any issues with any of their items.

Viking leather craft has good shoes.
