Customer Reviews
Great buckles! I think the video they provided as a tutorial needs a little update as I’d love if the camera was closer and at a different angle, but I got it!! One thing I will say is that it is a little bit more difficult to put it through the strap of a shoe with an outer lining. I put it on the Primrose Women's 18th Century Shoes that have an outer lining of Satin that was less stretchy than the leather so it made it a little more interesting to put on the buckle. But I got it eventually and well worth it!
I love my shoes but disappointedly cant wear them seeing as though one prong of the buckles snapped off immediately during installation, even though I followed the video tutorial exactly.
Hi LF,
Please email our customer service team at info@americanduchess.com, they'd love to help you!
Lovely buckles, and good instructions for putting on the shoes. I used a leather punch and it worked well.
These are very nice buckles. They are simply, but not too simple. I like the clean lines. I was able to install with the video, but I had to watch the video several times because they go a little fast. I would appreciate it if they would slow it down.
Beautiful buckles. We had to watch the tutorial video a few times and watch two others on YouTube as we were so worried about messing up the shoes. Once on though, they were very secure.
