Description

Step back in time with the delicious Primrose 18th century shoes. This authentic embroidered satin design has been recreated in collaboration with The Bata Shoe Museum, capturing the look and feel of the original shoes from 1770s-1790s. Made on the Dunmore last and 2 inch / 5 cm heel, you can be sure that style doesn't mean sacrificing comfort.
The Primrose 18th century shoes are part of the "In Bloom" collection developed with the Bata Shoe Museum. Every pair of Primroses sold benefits this important collection and supports Bata in their study, outreach, and conservation.
Primrose does 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.
Though the antiques were made in silk, our shoes are made in a durable and cleanable polyester satin, the ideal choice for footwear built to last. Spritz your shoes with Angelus Water & Stain Repellent to keep them in good condition and looking swell.

Really pretty and comfy
Purchased these to wear for a photo session while visiting Versailles. Perfect with the exquisite period costume and extremely comfortable!
I haave had a pair of white Primrose 18th century. shoes for three years now and have found them to be practical as well as comfortable. I am buying a new silk gown this year, so I purchased a second pair of these shoes in black satin. Betweeen the two pairs, the colors of the embroidery match all the colors of my gowns. If you are a reenactor who is on your feet all day, I highly recommend these shoes!
I bought these about a year ago but only just thought of reviewing them as I was wearing them today.
They're just gorgeous and so well made, I love everything about them! I put rubber pads on the soles so the leather wouldn't get nicked on asphalt.
Half size too big, had to add a heel cushion. Absolutely stunning. Wore them for a costume stroll and they were comfortable walking all night long. People stopped me in the streets to compliment them.
