Customer Reviews
These beautiful shoes run true to size and were still comfortable after several hours of wear on the first outing. ❤️
Very happy with the fit and elegance of these beautiful shoes!
I normally wear 10.5, I ordered 10.5, and it fit great. Even in a relatively larger size, the shoe looks elegant and proportional, snd the heel shape makes it comfortable to wear. A button hook is a must-have for fastening the buttons.
The shoes are beautiful and comfortable. The only problem is wearing them, which is hard because the buttons ***keep. breaking. off.*** while I'm walking in them.
I bought a shoe button hook tool just to enjoy these shoes. I have been to the shoe repair store 4 times for this problem with these shoes--but I've only worn them 5 times. Today, *both* buttons snapped off the same day while walking. I'm so frustrated. My arch is low.
I bought these shoes back in March of this year, so it's too late to return them. They're so pretty and comfortable that I'm dying to make these shoes work, but so far they're just not. :/ I think my pair may be defective.
We're so sorry you're having issues with your Maes and we're happy to chat futher to find a solution! The fact that they continue to come off after repair indicates the problem isn't a defect in the shoe; it means there's a fit issue or other force causing the problem. Moving the button closer to the edge of the shoe to give more room and decrease tension could be beneficial. You can have the button moved by your cobbler or we have instructions on moving the buttons yourself here: https://www.americanduchess.com/pages/how-to-move-shoe-boot-buttons
Please feel free to reach out to our team at info@americanduchess.com so we can find out more and explore the issue in more detail!
I was a little nervous when I first saw them but once I tried them on and let my feet adjust they were really comfortable. I plan to wear them with some of my 1920s dresses. Can't wait to show them off.
