Tango Edwardian Boot (Antique Gold)

They are exquisite. The do fit a little tight. I would go up 1/2 size. I am really looking forward to receiving the slightly larger ones.

These shoes are so pretty, and were the perfect wedding shoe for me! They were an unintentional star-of-the-show, too—I was wearing a floor-length gown, and when I picked up my skirt for the glass-smash there was an audible reaction from the audience, and folks were asking to see them all evening, haha.

I generally live in supportive sneakers and clogs, so I was very nervous about being able to comfortably wear heels for a special occasion. I found the heel size and placement of these very stable, and the lacing meant I could have as much ankle support as I needed. Since I don't generally wear tight shoes, I can't comment on whether these run small/large.

As for comfort—I added a little arch support and cushioning for the ball of my foot, and did a little breaking-in by wearing around the house. When I wore these for 8+ hours straight, my feet were a little sore afterwards and I had a few unpredictable blisters (top of a toe?? Bottom of foot??), but this didn’t stop me from walking, dancing, and both of these while picking up my now-spouse!

These shipped quickly, and when I needed to make an exchange (incorrect size) the return process was straightforward and fast.
Looking forward to finding all the non-wedding outfits I can justify wearing these with, and will absolutely be buying from AD again!

I've been dreaming of having a pair of American Duchess shoes for literal years. Last night, I finally fulfilled that dream. First things first- they're much more comfortable than I thought. I'm a size 8 with wide-ish feet and went up to a 9, which fit perfectly. If you have wide feet and are nervous about whether the Tango boots will fit, just try going a size up. Even out of the box, I found them fairly comfortable (though your mileage may vary- I've worn more than my fair share of uncomfortable shoes in my lifetime). I wore them all day to the office, where I got loads of compliments. The quality is wonderful too- I can tell they'll last a long time if I take care of them. All in all, absolutely zero regrets!

I ordered 6 pair of these boots for a show, and only one was for a professional dancer. In her 4 hour rehearsal the back seam had a minor split and they got terribly scuffed. We were able to glue them back together for the shoot. Everyone loved them and thought they were much more comfortable than they look. And definitely get a half size up!

These shoes are absolutely gorgeous and I am so happy to finally own a pair! I would recommend going half a size up since they run a bit small.
