Description

We must admit the Edwardians had serious style when it came to sporting attire. Our Cambridge Edwardian Bicycle Boots echo this past panache with glorious leather paired with flexible cotton twill canvas, quick-lacing, and double straps at the top. We've based the Cambridges on several pairs of original bicycle boots from the early 20th century, but updated for modern comfort, width, and durability. These boots aren't just for cycling, too. Wear them with bloomers, breeches, knickers, or skirts of any length for historical, vintage, historybounding, or modern attire. 

As a lace-up boot, Cambridge Boots are very adjustable for a wide variety of ankle and calf measurements. The top of the Cambridge Boots do reach the calf muscle, and we've designed this area to be particularly adjustable for a broad range. The photos show both a size 7.5 on narrow calves and size 11 on wide calves.

Calf Size Range - 14 - 20 in / 35.6 - 50.8 cm
Ankle circumference  - 8.5 - 13 in / 21.6 - 32.5 cm
Boot height (does not include heel) - 13.75 in / 34.9 cm

    Love them!

    I bought these for Dragon Con and I knew I'd be walking for miles. So I wore them to my job to break them in. They were comfortable the very first day. I walked for 3 miles total before the con, and walked 12 miles in them during the con. Comfortable the entire time and fit like I'd had them for years. Very happy with this purchase!

    Favorite pair of AD shoes

    I’ve gotten four pairs of American Duchess shoes by now and these are by far my favorite. I got them during the sale and they’re the comfiest pair I have. Despite having a pointed toe they’re still super comfy for having wide toes. I’ve worn them around all day without any problems.

    Fit nice and snug

    I'd only wear silk stockings with these, as they fit pretty snuggly. I can't wait for fall so I can wear my wool dress with these!

    Worth every penny

    It was hard to justify spending so much on shoes, but I’ve worn these so many times and I can’t tell you how much I love them. They’re super versatile (I’ve matched them with so many outfits, with pants and skirts, with everyday looks and costume pieces), very comfy, and I just feel awesome when I wear them. One of my favorite clothing pieces.

    Wow

    These boots look amazing in the website photos, but they far exceed those photos in person. They are absolutely stunning. They fit true to size. With the lacing easy to adjust to make sure there is enough room in the foot and leg, they are actually very comfortable.
