Thentavva's Boots was a locally renowned, yet rather out of the way,[5] shoe store in the city of Waterdeep that was owned by Thurve Thentavva.[1][3][4][5]
Location[]
This store was located along Vellarr's Lane,[3][4] in the Trades Ward of Waterdeep.[1][2][3][4]
Structure[]
Thentavva's Boots was rather small,[5] narrow,[4] and stood only one story tall.[1][2] The exterior of the store was notably adorned with carved stone images of frolicking nymphs and pegasi.[4]
Interior[]
The interior of the store was rather crowded and smelled strongly of tanned leather,[4] a smell which some could pick up from outside of the store itself.[5]
Services[]
This store offered a variety of high quality footwear, both pre-made and custom made.[4] They held up for many years,[4][5] holding up to mud and water rather well.[4]
Some pre-made footwear included boots and slippers,[4][5] but their most famous and sought after item were thigh-high, sleek, pointed-toed boots for women. These cost a steep price of 10 gold pieces and had a waiting period of at least nine days.[4]
History[]
By 1363 DR, the building of this store was considered to be quite old.[4]
Reputation[]
Thentavva's Boots was among some of the more notable and recognizable stores in the Trades Ward.[6] Its owner, referred to by Volothamp Geddarm as the "cobbler supreme," was considered by some to be the best cobbler in all of Waterdeep and store itself was locally renowned for selling high quality footwear.[4]
