Description

Bring your Regency dreams to life with the perfect pair of delicate dancing slippers. The Penelope slippers offer beauty, comfort, and versatility with so many color pairings, ways to wear the ribbons, and a soft yet durable construction.

These slip-on shoes are accurate for c. 1800 - 1830. They feature a beautiful satin upper embroidered with a historical design on the vamp, complete with spangles. The edges are bound in petersham, with matching optional ankle ribbons and vamp bow which is easily removed. Period-correct turnshoe construction, soft square toe, and real leather soles make the Penelopes unmatched for evening and formal events where the prettiest of shoes are required. Wear them for Jane Austen, Napoleonic, War of 1812, and all Regency events.

I'm making lots of unladylike noises here

I missed out on the gold Penelope slippers the first time around, wrote a plaintive email requesting they come back, and when they *did*, I jumped the second I saw them. They do not disappoint!!! I have yet to wear them for any length of time, but know I'll need to get some insoles for a bit more support. But they are PERFECT for my Regency ballgown, and I'm beyond-words excited to wear them to this year's AGM in Baltimore. They fit true to size!

Perfect!

These shoes are not only beautiful but are perfect with the regency dress and feel so comfortable. I am so happy with my purchase. I will be wanting to get additional colors. If you are deciding to get them just do it you won’t be disappointed.

Love them!

They are lovely! They are a little snug, but they will stretch once I break them in. Can't wait to wear them for our upcoming Regency Ball!

Dainty, pretty little slippers

First...I have no Regency attire. I want to get an ethereal gown now, after purchasing these pretty slippers, but that's far down on my list of projects. Luckily, they are great for modern wear too! I took off the ribbon ties and wore them with jeans. I wouldn't wear them for a lot of walking or standing - not much padding or support - but they are very comfortable otherwise and were a stunning accessory for an event. (Note: I find that American Duchess shoes consistently run small. I usually wear a 6 to 6 1/2, but my AD size is 7.)

Forever in love!!

I am based in Germany and had these shipped with all the additional cost of taxes etc. because the European shop didn't have them and BY GOODNESS was it worth it, immediately ordered them in white as well! They fit wonderfully in my usual size!! Also, the Angus water and dirt repellent is EXCELLENT, I highly recommend! The shoes are such a joy I could cry! I cannot wait for spring to be in full swing so that I can start wearing them out more!!

Don't work for high arches

This is the first time this happened to me with AD shoes, but these don't work with high arches at all-the length and the size of the toe box seems right, it's just the low opening to the shoe. I was looking forward to these, and they are well-made and really pretty, just not for me.

So pretty!

These fit me perfectly! I love them and they are surprisingly comfortable. A bit slippery, but I can deal with that. The quality is absolutely perfect, the details are very well done. Will definitely be buying from this site in the future.

Perfect Regency slippers

I’ve been wanting something like this for a long time. They arrived a couple of days before the Bridgerton Experience I was going to. The ivory goes well with most of my Regency dresses so it was perfect for the dress I was planning to wear. It was great for dancing and was so comfortable I didn’t want to take them off even when I got home. I’m going to buy another one so that I have a spare. They felt true to size for me.

Beautiful but also too tight

Like the Antoinettes, these are beautiful shoes, but way too tight across the vamp & in the heel. They fit length wise, but border on painful in the heel & across the vamp. Really disappointed. I’ve been waiting for a Regency slipper for years.
