Couldn't load pickup availability
Dunmore 18th century shoes trimmed in white are the ideal materials, silhouette, and heel to pair with your late 18th century gown, from the Revolutionary War to the French Revolution.
Developed with input from Colonial Williamsburg, Dunmore is accurate for c. 1770 - 1790s, with a 2 inch / 5.08 cm Italian heel crafted after an extant shoe, a tapered toe and soft toe box, and latchet closure.
Dunmore 18th century shoes are made of pebbled leather resembling original, historical Moroccan leather. We've trimmed the edges with white twill tape and covered our custom-made Italian heels in white leather, just like originals. Inside you'll find linen lining with our historic trades stamp. These are truly special, exquisite shoes available in this colorway for a limited time only.
Dunmores do not come with 18th century shoe buckles. You may find our complete selection of 18th century shoe buckles in the accessories section. Please see our page on how to fit your buckles, or watch our shoe buckle fitting video for more information.

Customer Reviews
Lovely shoe, I bought them for my granddaughter. Her favorite color is yellow. They will be perfect with the dress I’m making for her. Very pleased with the shoes.
The buckles aren’t included!! Just trying to help out for anyone like me who foolishly makes decisions based on pictures and not on the full product description. Awaiting buckles now…and hoping the installation of them isn’t as hard as it looks
Buckles are sold separately so that you can choose the style that you like best, and so that folks who buy more than one pair of shoes don't end up forced to spend extra money on duplicate buckles that they don't need or want. One pair of buckles can be used with several pairs of shoes, and just swapped around as needed. This keeps the price of the shoes more affordable for anyone who wants more than one pair!
You can find all of our available buckles here: https://www.americanduchess.com/collections/shoe-buckles
We also have instructions on how to install the buckles here: https://www.americanduchess.com/pages/how-to-fit-18th-c-shoe-buckles
I was very pleased with this purchase and am excited to wear them. The fit is great and true to size.
These are incredibly small and tight. Size up one while size because you can’t return or exchange them.
These shoes are gorgeous. I’ve worn them twice now, the first time they gave my toes blisters, so I stretched them out. The second time they felt a lot more comfortable but walking in them takes some getting used to, albeit I don’t wear heels very often.
