Customer Reviews
I always hesitate to get shoes online because I have a narrow heel area but an average front of the foot area. But this pair fits just right, and will work beautifully with the dress I am finishing. I have not fully broken it in yet, only put them on over carpet to make sure they fit, but I am confident this pair will get the job done.
The shoe is very pretty and the size matched my measurements. However it does rub in a couple of places so I have to wear some toe protection. I might be solved with hosery but I usually go bare legged.
I got these over two years ago (and forgot to review them til now), back when the green option was available. I'd love to see that color come back someday. I love the laces. They actually stay tied all day long, whereas the silky laces on other AD shoes constantly come undone. 2in heel is my maximum, but I could still wear these all day. They go so well with almost any outfit. They get tons of compliments, and one person described them as "power shoes." I'm going to keep wearing these for as long as I can.
I had emailed the AD team several months prior to my purchase that I was planning to wear these for my wedding, and asked when they would be back in stock (as they had been out of stock for a while at this time). They quickly and friendly responded with the information that I needed -- they were revamping the material and would be out of stock until probably summer. Then, a few months later, I got an emails that they had *just* restocked. I immediately purchased my dream wedding shoe. I was amazed that they remember to email me when they came back. The shoes are beautiful and breaking in nicely. I cannot wait to incorporate them into my wedding outfit.
Thank you to the American Duchess team for your continued excellent service and quality product!!
I usually wouldn't wear new leather shoes for a full day, but I found myself suddenly having to drive to Boston after my FIL was taken to the hospital. I then spent the next 12 hours pacing and my feet were perfectly comfortable the whole time. A surprise treat on a stressful day.
