Couldn't load pickup availability
Step into the Paris of the past in a gorgeous pair of Paris Boots. These incredible lace-up boots are direct reproductions of an original pair of Edwardian boots in our collection. They feature an almond-shaped toe with a sturdy sole and adjustable lace-up closure, paired with our attractive 1.6 inch / 4 cm Cuban heel.
Paris Boots are your all-day walking footwear for any occasion. Pair them with historic clothing of the 1890s, Edwardian and Great War periods, 1920s, and even 1930s and 1940s. So versatile is the Paris design that they'll look super cute with outfits both historical and modern.
As a lace-up boot, Paris Boots are very adjustable for a wide variety of ankle and instep measurements. The top of the Paris boots does not extend to the widest part of the calf muscle.

Customer Reviews
Best shoes I've ever gotten.
Durable - I got these shoes a little over 2 years ago and they are still in good condition even with constant wear. I consider them my daily shoes and have worn them near daily to school, work, and outings.
Comfortable - I once walked 2+ miles in these shoes through the super hilly parts of San Francisco (like 30 degree angle hills) and got no blisters. I've sprinted in these shoes to catch trains and didn't break or sprain my ankles. I've worn these on flights across the country. I wear these in both summer and winter.
Pretty - These shoes go well with a majority of my outfits. I wore them to graduation, work, concerts, etc. They go well with all manner of shorts, skirts, and pants.
TLDR; super comfy and well-made shoes. I will be coming back for a second pair.
Something about these shoes has improved the way I carry myself. I am more mindful of my movements. I care more for my material things because these will be my lifetime boots. I will wear them regularly, i will wear them through and need to have them repaired. Not just tossing them aside and buying a new pair. (I am also buying another pair, but because i want to add a pair of oxfords to my wardrobe.)
The boots themselves are absolutely gorgeous-- everything about the design is perfection & exactly what I want in a shoe. They're well made, nice quality leather, & beautiful colors. I'm gonna end up buying 3 pairs & pray that AD never stops making these! Only reason I give 4 stars is because I had to make 2 returns to get the right size. I normally wear a 7/7.5. Initially bought AD shoes in a size 7, which were definitely too small, then exchanged for a 7.5 which were still sliiightly too small in the toe area (especially since it's a pointy shoe & I'd be wearing with socks). I went up to a 7.5 wide, which was perfect (even though I don't have particularly wide feet). If in-between sizes, I'd go a half size to full size up (or get a wide), unless you have narrow feet.
I ordered the Paris Boot in size 10 (I'm a ladies US 9½) because of the reviews. Most said the toe box was a little tight in their true size. Most pointy shoes fit well for me in a half size up, so the decision to order a half size up was a good one. The 10s fit me like a glove!
These beauties are made with exceptionally high quality leather, extremely well made, and oh so comfy on the first wear. I'm thrilled with this company! I have found my favorite performance boots forever more. I will be ordering again.
The heel is not "stacked" leather, but is wrapped with leather around a plastic interior. To keep the heel from getting knicked and worn, I cut a piece of stick on sole protector to fit the heels bottom. Hopefully that keeps it from getting worn out and saves me a trip tho the cobbler.
Make sure you get these non slip sticker pads (Amazon etc.) because these are real leather soles. They are very slippery, so I felt I needed a little more grip on stage performing. (They'll last longer between sole repairs too) Also bought mink oil and applied that 3x for weather/ waterproofing. Gotta protect these lovelies as much as possible! I LOVE THESE BOOTS!!
10 stars!

Goth Vocalist & Performance artist approved!
We're so glad you love the Paris! Note that there's a rubber heel cap already on the Paris boots, and an extra pair of heel caps in the box for when they wear down and need to be replaced- no need to put a sole protector on the heel itself, as the heel cap is already doing the job! (we do recommend for the leather sole if you want more grip, though!)
I purchased my normal size an the fit is perfect. These boots fast became my go to footwear.
