Description
This product is on Last Chance final sale and non-returnable.
Dunmore 18th century shoes trimmed in white are the ideal materials, silhouette, and heel to pair with your late 18th-century gown, from the Revolutionary War to the French Revolution.
Developed with input from Colonial Williamsburg, Dunmore is accurate for c. 1770 - 1790s, with a 2 inch / 5.08 cm Italian heel crafted after an extant shoe, a tapered toe and soft toe box, and latchet closure.
We've trimmed the edges with white twill tape and covered our custom-made Italian heels in white leather, just like originals. Inside you'll find linen lining with our historic trades stamp. These are truly special, exquisite shoes available in this colorway for a limited time only.
Dunmores do not come with 18th-century shoe buckles. You may find our complete selection of 18th-century shoe buckles in the accessories section. Please see our page on how to fit your buckles, or watch our shoe buckle fitting video for more information.

Design & Production
As usual, American Duchess's shoes were as I anticipated—beautifully constructed and great fit. I can’t wait to trip the historic “light fantastic” in these.
First and foremost, I’d like to commend American Duchess for their shipping. I ordered on Saturday morning, had shipping info by Saturday afternoon, and delivery by that Tuesday. These were a splurge purchase for me and I couldn’t be more excited with the quality and beauty of them. I’m truly overjoyed by how gorgeous they are!!! We are 18thC Reenactors and these just complete my look when I wear gowns. I would definitely recommend sizing up at least a size for a good fit, as leather can be tight! I’ve been wearing them around the house with stockings just to prepare them for reenactment season! I LOVE them and am so glad I purchased them!
perfect shoes for my gown à la polonaise that I plan to wear in a Patriot’s Day parade in March. Fit was perfect in my usual American size 8 feet.
My daughter hasn’t had a new pair of historical shoes since her first pair in 2012. She picked these out to go with the new gown I’m making for her to wear to Twelfth Night Ball in Jan 2027. ❤️🥰
These are a great addition to my 18th century costumes. They are cute and comfortable.
