A request for width width pumps

The shoe is well made, good quality, and stylish. Unfortunately I had to give the review a 4 rather than a 5. I wear regularly a 9.5 wide. I ordered the 10M it was very tight. I had to by shoe stretchers to place in the shoes , I hope it will stretch them enough so I can wear the shoe comfortably. I hope these shoes will be offered in the wide width in the future.

It looks like you missed seeing the wide version when making your purchase - we do indeed offer the Marilyns in wide as of Dec 26th 2024! They're on pre-order at the link below. Note that because the Marilyns have low sides and open tops, there's not as much holding the shoe to your foot, so you do want them to start out comfortably snug, as they'll stretch with wear. You don't want them to fall off your feet once they've broken in! Feel free to reach out to info@americanduchess.com for fitting assistance. Once stretched, shoes are not returnable, but if you've not stretched or worn your pair yet you can set up a return if needed.

Continued Excellence

After having bought several different styles of shoes, I can only say I am blown away by the quality and style. I spent my time debating on whether or not to purchase this style. When I finally decided to buy them, my size was out of stock. I contacted customer service and was told they would be back in stock in February. Needless to say, when they were available earlier, I purchased immediately. I love them. These did require some breaking in but a week of wearing them around the house has them ready for an outside trip. Thank you, American Duchess and keep up the good work.

Happy

These shoes are a 10+! They arrived perfectly packaged and they are beautiful! They look just like the pictures. I ordered in my usual size and they fit me perfectly. Oh wow on the comfort level!!! I’m an older woman and most heeled shoes I cannot wear but these I can. I only tried them on in my kitchen but I can feel the difference in the workmanship of the shoes. I will be able to wear them. I’m waiting in an order from them for the rubber soles to put on over part of the soles of the shoe so they won’t wear down so quick. The soles ARE LEATHER. What a high quality, comfortable and beautiful pair of shoes. Thank you, I love them.
