Pompadour Leather 18th Century Shoes are the picture-perfect footwear for your exquisite Baroque and Rococo costumes.
Named for the famous Madame de Pompadour, these heels are closely based on extant early 18th century shoes found in museums, and feature an easy tabbed closure that can be laced with your favorite colored ribbon, cockade, or pom-pom decoration.
Accurate for the 1680s all the way through the 1760s, the Pompadours feature an all-leather construction, our reproduction Louis heels, pointed toes, and the characteristic white rand seen on original 18th century shoes. Wear them for any and all early 18th c. impressions.

Customer Reviews
I love these shoes so much! They are beautiful, and the leather is comfortable and wonderfully made. I will definitely be ordering the white ones too!
I purchased the Pompadour Women's Leather 18th Century Shoes in black, and the Pompadour Women's Leather 18th Century Shoes in white simultaneously. Given the American Duchess website's imagery, upon delivery the look of each pair were exactly as expected but the fit exceeded my expectations: PERFECT! Already own a vintage dress in black for which I bought the shoes; hoping to secure one for the white shoes next. Completely satisfied with both purchases and already viewing more.
The shoes were a little bigger than expected. But overall an outstanding product. Looks and functionality are great.
I loved this shoes! Bought them for a Marie Antoinette costume.
Look Amazing, Still working on the fit
I love how pompadour shoes look; the white is stunning, elegant, and classy. The French heel really adds that certain Je ne sais quoi and I am here for it!!! . It's the perfect shade of white, it's not super white (You know where its so white that it look blue and cheap) but it's not an ivory either. I have wore them around with the silk tights, I called in to make sure I had the correct size as well as measured and taken down all my measurements to confirm that the 7 was indeed the right fit. the size 7 is a little tight on my feet, I don't have a narrow foot and I don't have a chunky foot either, i'd say I am average. the 7.5 were too big. (My left foot is significantly longer than my right so I pulled all the measurements from that foot to accommodate to) I am using the leather stretching spray and will continue wearing them around the house. I have a big event in October: the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Point Pleasant in WV. I will be presenting the minuet dance for two days so I need my feet to be comfortable all day for that. so I will definitely be adding more photos to this review once I have the whole outfit together. and see how they perform in the long run.
