These boots are very good quality. They feel and fit like real leather and good materials, not plastic. They arrived well packaged and on time. I exchanged size 9 or 9.5. My shoe size varies between the two. The exchange process is simple and sweet. They came with regular laces and longer laces. The longer laces worked well with my calf size while still flattering my leg shape and fitting great. The heels are sturdy on the dance floor - they held up great! Overall, 5 stars for quality, feel, look, and company interaction. They are comfortable but still high heels, so I recommend a good pair of socks or inserts if you plan to wear them for a long event like a wedding, etc.
The boots arrived 1 hour before I left for the airport so I literally had to open them and decide. It was love at first sight...they were beautiful I took a chance that they'd be comfortable...and they were! I wore them all day in New York, attending "Masquerade", the new immersive Phantom of the Opera experience. Two hours of walking, standing and then a 10 block walk back to the hotel. No blisters, very comfy, lots of compliments. I had excellent customer service support when I thought they wouldn't arrive in time...I'm so glad they did! Highly recommend!!
Really beautiful quality and perfect for my witch costume for the costume wedding I am attending! So cute 😊 Only wearing one in the pic cause I twisted my ankle (Not in these shoes don’t worry!)
These boots are too cute, I can't rave enough about them! I have the all black pair and they're perfect for vintage inspired outfits but can also be styled to match a variety of aesthetics. I went half a size up because I was worried they would be too narrow for my feet. While they are still very comfortable my feet do slide around a bit in them, so getting them true to size.
I purchased these to go with a Galileo inspired gown and I’ve been wearing these with everyday outfits. At first to break them in but now just because they go with everything and they are remarkably comfortable for all day wear. Once I get to the end of 10hours they do start to ache but in a way any heel does. But that may also go away with some proper lacing or insert to keep the widest part of my foot in place.
I love them!
I bought these boots for my daughter and she hasn't stopped raving about quality or how many compliments she receives when out and about.
Yup 🤙
I bought a 7.5 instead of my regular 7 just because I wanted a bit more wiggle room, and they fit wonderfully. They are a true work of art in person. And the quality is really great!
I bought these during the Silver Bell sale with the intent on wearing them with a cosplay for a convention next year. They are GORGEOUS. I have big calves (that usually are to big for tall/tight boots) and wide feet so I was a bit worried about fit, but I ordered a half-size up as suggested and they are perfect! I have to unlace the boot about a third of the way in order to put them on and take them off, but once I actually have them on I'm able to use the regular laces even with my thick calves. They have great support and are incredibly comfortable! I expect that I won't have any issues running around the con in them come September.
I wore these recently to a performance of Charles Dickens Christmas Carol. They were an excellent addition to the dress I was wearing. They are beautiful and so easy to walk in.
Love all my American duchess boots and shoes!!
You can wear these all morning without your feet hurting. haven’t debuted them in the dungeon yet but I am so excited to step on someone wearing these. Good shoes
Friday before Halloween in my town is the famous witches tea, with costumes mandatory, including comfortable footwear. These boots are the ultimate in style and fit.
ordering, shipping, all went well. The boots are beautiful and surprisingly comfortable. I am starting to appreciate what the women in that time frame were dealing with - I have to unlace (or at least seriously loosen) the top third to half of the laces to get my foot into it, so this is not a shoe/boot that you would want to walk through a security line with (e.g., TSA)! :)
The boots are so beautiful and well made. I wore the for the first time and got a lot of compliments. The sizing was good and I appreciated that my toes didn't feel squished. I am not used to walking in heels all day but these are well worth the effort.
These were my first ever heels (at least anything over 1/2 inch) and they’re wonderful, easy to walk in for my first time with heels. I haven’t had a chance to wear them out yet but they’re beautifully made and very comfortable. I’m sure these shoes will last me many years!!! :3
These boots are beautiful and fit perfect. I wear a size 11 but went up 1 size, and I’m glad I did. It is a bit much to lace up and down but overall I’m glad I bought them. I have long legs and I can’t until it cool off to wear. Will send pic later. Thank you AD
I received a number of compliments on these! I wore them to a showing of the Wicked musical in LA a couple weeks ago and they fit the theme perfectly. They took about a day to break in but once they were, they were significantly more comfortable than any other boots I own. I have very high arches and I wasn't miserable while walking in these. They seem to be very good quality, the leather is soft and the velvet is very nice.
I will say, lacing them is a pain. But I think to be true to the era, they wouldn't be able to put a zipper on. However, a side or back zipper would be a game changer on these. I would probably wear them a lot more if I didn't have to almost fully unlace them and relace them each time I take them on and off.
Shipping was fast too, we booked our seats a little last minute so I only has 1.5 weeks to receive them and they came with plenty of time to spare!
I cannot begin to tell you how satisfied I am with these shoes!
My mother recently passed away, and I was looking for the perfect shoes to go with my velvet and silk black dress and black chambray hat for the funeral. She would have smiled at how I put this together. When I tell you that these shoes did not disappoint!!! I will continue to purchase from this company. I’m so excited! They fit true to size. I am usually a 11 in most shoes 12 in heels and they weren’t tight!
Fits like a glove and oh so soft. The heels are so cute and just the right height for walking. So good i got my friend a pair as well.
I ordered my regular size and they fit perfectly. Love the look of these Edwardian boots. I received so many compliments on them when I have them on.
These take a while to lace into but worth it. They are very comfortable. I sized up a 1/2 size due to the narrow toe-box. They are perfect with a light sock. The heels are stable. You need to work with the lacing over the arch and at the ankle for the right fit but once you get it you will be comfortable for hours in the shoes.
I adore these boots! They are very well made and look great with everything!
