Mildred Vintage Flats (Witching Hour)

Wow, these are so beautiful, like amethyst jewels. I got amazing compliments from some ladies at brunch where they even took my photo. But these plastic shoes (priced comparatively with the leather shoes for some inexplicable reason) were the most uncomfortable, ill-fitting, and impossible shoes I’ve ever worn. Or I should say try to wear! I walked only a few moments from my car, and was so hobbled I almost didn’t make it across the street. I would have been better off barefoot. There’s no “breaking in” plastic shoes. Plus the tip of the diamond bent after these few short steps. There’s no saving these from the donation pile. I should have known better than to trust plastic shoes, but thought I could trust American Duchess. Never again.

If you think these shoes are beautiful online, just wait until you see them in person. They are so gush-worthy. The color is gorgeous, and the velvet is soft and high quality. Additionally, and best of all, they are truly comfortable.

I have hard to fit feet. Wide toe box area, higher instep, and average or narrow heel. Nothing ever fits quite right out of the box, and even wide sizes are often not quite wide enough in the toe box area.

These fit comfortably right out of the box, and felt so good on my feet! I added a little pad at the heel so my heel didn’t slip out, and now they’re even better. I can’t say enough about these shoes, I love them so much.

I love the style, I ordered these in 6.5 because I didn’t know how they would fit, I am between sizes 6.5-7. Sometimes when I order 6.5 too small, other times 7 too big depending on the manufacturer. These are a good fit, not to tight I might have gotten away with ordering these in the 7 because of the toe shape but I didn’t want to get them and they fall off my feet. So far haven’t gotten any blisters(a common problem I have even with sneakers)and they are comfortable. Only wore them once to the market. They are an elegant design that brings in the spooky vibes I love.

These are my first pair of American Duchess shoes, and, being from Australia, I took the leap to finally buy a pair because I'm also a big Christine McConnell fan. The moment I tried them on, I knew it was worth it. The inner sole is so comfortable, they feel impeccably made, and they fit perfectly. I would absolutely pay the crazy shipping fees in the future for such a well-designed and crafted shoe because I know now the investment is worth it.

These are absolutely perfect flats! I love how they fit, they are so comfortable, and are so well made. These fit true to size, and add that touch of gothic glamour Christine is known for. I broke them in at the cemetery for good luck🖤🪦

Overall, very cute shoes. I got my usual shoe size (8) but they were very loose on the heel- I added some heel pads which help but just note you may need to size down half a size from your typical AD shoe size.

While I have wider feet, I sized up and entire shoe size and measured my feed. Normally I’m a 6.5-7 and I ordered a 7.5 thinking it’d be enough. However, they’re way too small in the front. They’re so beautiful but fall small :(

I'm so in love with these shoes. The velvet material, the balance of comfort and style. I'll be wearing them with colored tights because I'm not personally a huge fan of the toes showing, but the picture is an accurate example of what that looks like to help you plan if that's not your thing. Ilysm, American Duchess ❤️

I have been looking for purple flat shoes forever, and these ones are just perfect! Excellent fit, comfy, and I love the diamond art deco design! Excellent quality, and fast shipping too!

I've reached an age when I have to start wearing flat shoes or much lower heels. These are so beautiful that I don't mind! :-) And they are very comfortable. Thank you!

Recommend going a full size up for this collection as it's a narrow style. Getting a properly fit pair feels great, though. I love their look, texture, and minuscule heel. I'm glad to live in a very dry climate, as I want to wear these all the time!

I had to use heel pads for a better fit. My sizing is odd with this brand but sometimes you have to try a couple sizes and modify or stretch etc. Watch their videos on perfect fit. I love Christine and got two out of the 3. One was just not comfortable no matter what size. This flat is cute and will work!

I love my new flats. They are soft and get me through a day of teaching on my feet.

they're really pretty, they're comfortable and i like them a lot, the only issue is that they're looser than i expected. this is my 3rd pair of american duchess shoes, and i ordered a 9.5 which is the same size i've gotten before, and it's worked perfectly for me with the other two i have and is my usual shoe size at most places (at least the ones that offer half sizes), so i didn't think there would be any reason for these ones to be different, but i probably could have gone down to a regular 9 and been fine. they're not so loose that they come off my feet while i'm walking, but i did have to tighten the strap and put the buckle in the very last notch for them to feel secure enough to get up and try walking around in them.

Of all the varieties of Christine McConnell shoes, this pair ran a little big. I had to exchange them for a half size down, but other than that, I am in love! These are perfect flats for all your glam and vintage looks, and they are comfortable enough to wear every day. I am keeping my fingers crossed that these are so insanely popular that they will come out in other materials so I can have multiple versions of all of these shoes!

I have been looking for beautiful flats like these for some time now. They are very elegant and comfortable.

The title says it all. I wore them on mother's day. No need to break them in. I wore them with wide leg pants and they looked stunning. The shoes made the outfit.

These shoes are exquisite and even more beautiful in person. They're incredibly comfortable and well made.

The shoes fit well and are so gorgeous. I am very pleased with them.

I don’t know if I mistakenly put a size 5 down when I preordered but I need an 8, not a 5. Way too small for me.

These fit well and feel very comfortable so far. I love the color and style.

The pile is short enough to not be an irritation while still maintaining velvet's unique color changing properties with different light angles. The color is more green-gold than yellow-gold, like the name implies. My only complaint is where the vamp hits on my foot, but that's probably a me thing since most shoes fit the same way. That being said, they're true to size and comfortable to walk in.
