==Shoes & Boots==
Shoes are of the simple, two-part turn shoe construction and are usually low, coming to below the ankle. These must be made of vegetable tanned leather. Applied soles and heels made from suitable leather may be used to prolong the life of the shoes.
[[Boots]] are not considered to be Generic Kit as these are period and ethnically restricted.
{{AO Special Mention|Less colourful leather}}
==Socks==
People from the period may have generally gone without socks. Woollen socks made using the Nålebinding technique can be worn and the easier to make crocheted socks are ‘allowable’. Tailored sewn cloth socks are also a good option.
Alternative methods of covering the foot include foot wraps or starting the leg binding from the foot rather than the ankle. Trousers with integral feet also achieve the same result.

no edit summary
As a general guide, cloaks should be as wide as your outstretched arms, and long enough to go from your shoulder to the knee, although shorter cloaks that reached just past the waist were also frequently seen. Most cloaks are just longer than the tunic when worn.
==Pouches & bags==

They can be of wool, linen or leather.Pouches worn at the belt should be no larger than fist sized, and closed either with a drawstring, a flap or a hook of authentic design. {{#lsth:Generic - Women|Mittens & gloves}}
==MittensShoes & boots==Although we have little evidence for gloves, people did have woollen mittens. These can be made either by nålebinding or from woven cloth. {{#lsth:Generic - Women|Shoes & boots}}
==Hats and hoods==
Although the cloak may be arranged in such a way as to act as a hood, cloaks must not have attached hoods for generic kit.
