Jessie Vintage Pumps Wide (Pink Suede)

I have tried spreading the news how wonderful these shows are and impressed I am with them! The wine color actually makes them MORE versatile than the black shoes I purchased. They are elegant, retro, and super comfortable.

I've followed American Duchess for years and I finally made the purchase of these heels. I regularly wear authentic 40s'-50's attire and I've been struggling to find soulful heels, especially in WHITE. This pair is sturdy with thick leather, which gives them a good sense of reliability. They are stark, bright white (not off-white or cream).

Now I'll get a little technical in case if anyone is a similar size as me: I'm usually size 7.5W-8W. My feet are 9.5" long and 3.5" wide at the ball. Out of fear, I chose the "safe" route and ordered the bigger size, an 8W. They ended up being too long, so I returned them for a 7.5W. This was much more suitable. I still had to add heel pads to get an exact fit, but I'd say they generally run true to size. The return process was also super easy.

I wore these heels to a vintage fashion event and they got a ton of attention, almost moreso than my dress. I was standing & walking non-stop, no sitting, for over three hours. Towards the end I did start feeling discomfort in the ball-of-foot area, so next time I may add some cushioning there. The walking area was flat concrete, and due to the shoe's flat soles, there was some decent scraping underneath. (which is expected of this style).

I expect these heels to hold up well in terms of longetivity, but I'm going to preserve them for specific occasions only. This is also because of them being white, the scariest color to wear. I typed an essay here but I hope my review gives some insight to anyone hesitating, or who is a similar size as me. It'll be a little different for everyone. These heels bring so much life to my outfits and I have no regrets!

These are gorgeous and classic gold heels and they fit like a glove (following the measuring chart). I'm so glad to have the wide option because most standard heels are too narrow for me. They feel very comfortable so far walking around the house - can't wait to wear them to an event!

I have been so excited to own these shoes. I purchased the 9.5 W. They are extremely comfortable and easy to wear. I will say that the toe box still seems a little small but I think I just have super wide toe spread. but the heel height is perfect the support is wonderful and I wore them for five hours straight without sitting down.

I saw these shoes on Instagram last year and knew they would be my wedding heels. They added the perfect vintage touch to my outfit to match my husband's military uniform (thank God they switched back to the old pinks and greens)!!! They were absolutely lovely, but i will say i should've broken them in more before the big day lol. Im planning on wearing them to next year's WW2 weekend as well!
Thank you so much for beautiful, quality heels American Dutchess! 💗
