Absolutely love these boots, have been dreaming of owning a pair forever and finally got some in black! Wore them straight out of the box for 10 hours of theatre tech and had no blisters, aches or discomfort! They are truly well made; am now saving up for a pair in Walnut!
I've had to resort to wearing men's boots for most of my life because I am a very tall and strong gal. 11w ladies shoes are hard to find, and even harder to find in a true 11w. Usually brands just take an 8 and stretch it longer, not scaling up the proportions. This 11w is a REAL 11w! The heel is balanced, the instep is high enough, the ramp is perfect for the length, the insole is wide enough! I could live in these, if given the option. They're beautiful, comfortable, and so well made. I cannot wait to wear them at every chance.
I'm a long-time collector of AD shoes from way back, but have struggled recently with shoes not being wide enough. These are amazing. Not only are they wide enough for my feet (purchased a 10W), they also fit my ankles and legs while still retaining the "narrow" look for the period.
I've been wanting a pair of boots like this for practically my whole life, but could never find a pair that didn't come with a totally unwanted zipper. Until now! I have wide feet, so I usually size up by a half size when I buy boots (even when they come in wide), but decided to try my regular shoe size (7.5W) per the recommendation on the site. I'm so glad I did, because when tried these on, they immediately fit like a glove. These boots are soft, beautiful, comfortable, and true to size. I didn't even have to break them in before walking all around Manhattan in them. I highly recommend these boots!
A piece of history
I adore these so much and hope they last forever! Im probably going to buy a few back ups. I just wish these were made out of genuine leather so they could outlive me. Also wasn't a fan of these being made in China but I guess for being the only seller of these kinds of boots online you get what you can get.
The fit was perfect. I have larger calves and wide feet and getting the wide was absolutely the move to keep the edwardian appearance of tight laces.
The Ediths are made out of real, high quality leather! 'Genuine' leather is just a marketing term and often includes some very poor quality leathers. We could absolutely call ours genuine leather and be technically correct, but frankly ours is better than most items that use that term.
Big Hocus Pocus fan here, these shoes make me feel like the most glamorous Witch that ever walked the planet. Extremely comfortable and durable, they are going to last for years to come.
I had to order a few pairs to find my perfect fit. I initially ordered the regular because my feet aren’t particularly wide. What I didn’t notice or take into consideration was the ankle and calf measurement. They are different between the regular and wide. I have thicker legs and really didn’t like the look of these boots with the lacing so far apart. The wide was perfect and gives that nice narrow fit. The shoe size itself is true to size.
A perfect fit for my E width feet! Generous laces, beautiful leather, great silhouette. I’m so happy to have these boots!
I just received these and they are lovely. The leather is so soft, and they were very comfortable for the short time I tried them on. I usually wear a size 9-9.5, I ordered these in a 9W to accommodate my wide calves and these fit well.
I've always loved victorian boots, I've tried a few cheap pairs over the years and it's wonderful to have a comfortable pair that lace up without a gap between the tongue and sides
