Description

As hemlines rose in the 1920s, flashy footwear was all the rage, and the Daisy Embroidered T-Strap heels are just the ticket. Made in luminous satin heavily embroidered in a gorgeous botanical design, the Daisy T-Strap Shoes are closely based on an original pair in Bata Shoe Museum. These gorgeous shoes are accurate for the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, and offer our refined and stable 2.5 in / 6.3 cm Spanish heel paired with open sides and an almond toe.

Wear Daisy embroidered 1920s shoes with any glamorous dress of the Art Deco period, or pair with modern attire for a bold statement. The leather soles and well-balanced, not-too-high heel make Daisies the perfect dance shoes for all-night comfort and fun.

The Daisy Embroidered T-Straps are designed in collaboration with the Bata Shoe Museum. Every pair of shoes from the In Bloom collection benefits and supports The Bata Shoe Museum in their study, outreach, and conservation.

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.

Disappointing 😞

I wanted to love these shoes, but at this point I can only keep them as decor. When I tried to wear them the first time, the button on the ankle strap snapped off and caused me to fall. I contacted AD and they assured me I just needed to be more careful with the button and had to use a button hook. On my own dime, I took the shoes to a professional cobbler to get the button sewn back on, as AD suggested. When I tried on the shoes a second time, I made it all of 5 minutes of walking before the button snapped off again and I went tumbling into the ground. I'm not sure how anyone can walk in these, much less dance.

We're sorry to hear you're having trouble! If the button came off so quickly a second time after being repaired by a cobbler, this tends to indicate that the issue isn't a defect in the shoe, but that something about the fit or the environment is putting excessive strain on the button. It's hard to diagnose such an issue without being physically present, but I'd advise going back to the cobbler and having them assess what the problem may be.

My favourite pair by far

I own several pairs of AD shoes and these are definitely my favourite.
Every time I wear them I receive compliments, and they add the perfect vintage flair to any outfit. I’ve had these for a year and they’re still in such good condition for having worn them regularly. Extremely comfortable, I will note that consulting the size chart is a good idea. I have these in a 6 and my other AD shoes are 5-5 1/2, so they do run a little small.
Hands down would purchase these again in a heartbeat.

Perfect!

These shoes are so gorgeous and elegant, as well as comfortable — I ordered my usual size and they fit like a glove. The heel is perfectly centered as always with American Duchess shoes so they're actually wearable despite the height. With a button hook they were fairly easy to put on, although my left size shoe still proved a bit tough, but the button hook is absolutely necessary. I can't wait to wear them out..

So beautiful, I cried

I've been eyeing these for several years and have wanted a "T-strap" basically since I found out they existed and I've never found modern shoes that compare. The embroidery is so beautiful, it brought me to tears! I also love that as per usual they come with 2 extra heel caps, but the extra button was a nice touch. I got lucky because for me they are a perfect fit (snug w/o being uncomfortable)... I have a slightly wider foot than average but not enough to need a wide, so it is a little tricky to get my foot in, but once there its like they were painted on. For length, I'm technically a 7.5 on paper, but I always wear an 8 to give my toes room. I got these in an 8 and the toes are snugger than my usual preference, but not too uncomfortable for me beacuse I have really short toes. I haven't gotten a chance to wear them all day yet, but I had another pair of American Duchess boots I wore for over 12 hours on my wedding with no issues. 😀
