Absolutely perfect! I love the quality, the shoe fits perfectly, and it’s super comfortable.
100 characters isnt enough. Love these shoes. From the heel size to comfort. Plus nothing but compliments.
Gorgeous, well-made, and cute/stylish while being ridiculously comfortable. These remind me of dancing shoes: if you want to wear a beautiful heel but you don’t want the struggle, these are perfect. I can’t wait to wear these in October especially. These shoes are a standout! Fit me perfectly, true to size, comfortable heel, toe box, and strap.
Im so happy I made this purchase! Its comfortable,excellent quality and so beautiful. If you have wider feet i highly recommend going up a half size.
Beautiful shoes and so comfortable! The color is slightly darker in person without the bright flash / photo lighting, which is exactly what I was hoping for.

Very comfortable and the fact that they're a bit adjustable is appreciated by my fat feet!
True to size and absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I'm so in love with these!
Definitely measure your foot first and follow the size guide. My 9.5s are slightly loose in the heel, but nothing that inserts or thick stockings won't fix.
Otherwise, these are some of the most comfortable heels I've ever worn in my life! The height is perfect and the material is so sturdy.
It's so challenging to find purple shoes, especially elegant ones with heels that aren't too high. These fit the bill beautifully. The spiderweb motif in the vamp panels is lovely but subtle and the satin laces are just perfect. I thought for some reason that these were patent, but they're smooth leather, and I'm actually *happier* about that. The low block heel gives some lift but isn't too hard on (shall we say) well-traveled knees and back. I'm technically an 8.5 wide; since these don't come in wide, I went with a 9, and I'm glad I did--they run a touch narrow on me. They're also a bit long; I will put something in the toes to address that but I think they'll work out. I'd coveted these for a long time and I'm happy I finally went with them--they will make a great addition to my purple-obsessed wardrobe.
I have both the Ediths and Bernadettes in a size 9.5 as my first pair of Bernadettes proved too small (I usually wear an 8-8.5 in dress shoes). Thinking it would be the case with these as well, I had my husband order them in a 9.5. I quickly discovered I would have been better off ordering them in my usual size as these are too big now 😅! I have now learned that I need to go by the size guide regardless of shoe. Thankfully, the company has a return policy now, and I am looking forward to receiving my new, properly-sized pair.
We're glad you found the right size! Most folks wear their usual heel size in all styles of our shoes, regardless of style or toe shape, but a small subset of folks will find that they need to go up a half size for very pointy toed styles like the Bernadette and Edith. If your toes are very squared off or broad rather than diagonal, they might fight the pointy shape and need a bit more room!
Wore these for the first time at my Halloween themed wedding reception and was able to walk comfortably in them for many hours! No blisters. Perfect fit!
I own several different styles of American Duchess, these as the same quality I've come to expect from them. The color is beautiful.
I’ve purchased from American duchess before and absolutely loved their shoes so I saved up and bought these to go with a 1920’s reproduction dress I’m making. So far, I’ve bought the Manhattan boots and Bernadette Oxfords, which are both made on the same last, but with this last I didn’t know what to expect fit-wise so I just ordered my regular 7.5 size. I probably should have ordered a 7 because my feet kept sliding forward in the shoes and my heels slipped out if I didn’t tie the ribbon tight enough. But I’d only noticed this when I’d worn them outside, so I couldn’t swap them out. Instead, I just got some insoles and now they fit just fine (needs some breaking in in the toes but nothing uncomfortable)! In terms of look, they’re honestly so beautiful! The pictures just don’t do them justice and when I wear them with black stockings they are just stunning! The heels are a nice height too, elegant but not too high! The ribbons on these feel much nicer than the ones on the Bernadettes, and the spiderweb cutouts are literally so amazing! I feel like I’m ready to go to a Halloween speakeasy and I’m all here for it. So yeah, over all, love them! If you’re used to the Londoner/Bernadette/Manhattan last, maybe order a half size down for optimal fit, and do a bit more walking around on carpet before scuffing the bottom, but I still love my new shoes and will definitely order from AD again when I have the money!
These shoes are so pretty and adorable. Easy and VERY fast exchange when first pair were slightly too small. Now they fit perfectly!
I love my new shoes! They are beautiful and classic style and comfy. The heel height is just enough. I can’twait to wear them on my cruise.
These shoes are perfect to match with the majority of my closet wear and fit true to size. These are super comfortable to wear for walking and long wear events. I would definitely buy these in other colors given the opportunity.
They fit perfectly, seem well-made. Unusual and attractive design, I am looking forward to wearing them.
They are so cute and so comfy! I wear them to work all day with a public transit commute and I am comfortable all day in them. I found they fit true to size.
I got a half size down of what I usually wear in American Duchess, fits great. Got the black pair too since the green were so cute!
These shoes are gorgeous . Well made. Comfortable. Fashionable but not overstated. Perfection.
A lovely pair of shoes, probably my new faves over the last pair of shoes I bought here.
They do fit a little large, maybe could have bought a size down, but I like the little bit of extra space. The ties being adjustable really help with this so I don’t think going down a size is necessary. Plenty of room for inserts if you need them as they aren’t actually very comfortable.
I did buy these for a specific event in mind but They fit perfectly with my aesthetic and are a perfect fit in my retro shoe collection. Can’t wait to build my wardrobe up around them further.
Want to Rock your spooky aesthetic? Then you need these shoes! Comfortable, and super cute! I have several pairs of AD but this pair is gonna be for every day wear! I love them!
I am a 6'1 woman with narrow size 12-13 feet. It is so hard to find cute shoes in my size. Especially cute shoes that aren't high heels, platforms, or wide width. These shoes fit like a glove, and though they have heels, the heels are chunky and not ridiculously high, so I think I won't break my neck in the short period of time I'll be wearing them.
I bought them to wear with a specific outfit for graduation; a corp goth retro style pencil skirt/blouse set with a rhinestone spider brooch. I love that the spiderweb shoes will perfectly tie in with the spider brooch and add to vampy vibe, but in a classy, just subtle enough way.
If you are on the fence, I definitely recommend buying a pair! You won't be disappointed.
An absolutely wonderful, faithfully reproduced pair of quirky 1920s shoes. I adore these. The only reason I can not buy more pairs of American Duchess shoes is because the shipping to Australia is eye wateringly expensive. I know that's not the fault of the company, but it's just a shame :(
I bought these around Halloween and they immediately became my favorite pair of shoes. They looked great with all of my witchy outfits during October, but the spiderweb design is also subtle enough to avoid looking too goth if you wear it with other styles.
Every time I’ve worn them I’ve either walked for several miles, stood for an entire concert, or done both so I can confirm how comfortable they are. I don’t wear heels enough to be used to them but I forget these have a heel at all.
Be careful with the recommendations to go down a size, especially if you have wider feet. I’m either an 8.5 or 9 in shoes so I got the 8.5. I think the 9 would have been too big but my toes were pretty cramped at first. It’s getting a lot better as they break in but my toes are naturally pointy enough that I rarely have issues with crowding. If you’re between sizes then I’d say size down, but if you’re always a specific size and your toes usually need space then I’d order your usual size.
