Anna May 1920s Mary Jane High Heels (Oxblood)

I love the way the shoes look! I have Pradas, Versaces, and Repettos and all sorts of shoes but, after my high-heeled Mary Jane Repettos, my husband finds these the sexiest! That's saying a lot.

Comfort is a bit better than the aforementioned except my Repettos. I ordered the button hook to deal with the button and now it is easy. These are not going to be walking shoes--none of my pretty heels are--but I will wear them to a lot of special events.

I'd say they run slightly small, so I'd go up a size. For example, I am 6.5 in Prada and 37 in Repetto. I took a 7 in these.

These are perfect and so comfortable!

thank you for your quick respond 5 star to that ♡.
I got two pairs of shoes: a size 6 for myself and a size 6.5 for my sister. Unfortunately, my sister's pair (6.5)was too small for her but fit me perfectly, so she gave it to me. My own pair (6) , on the other hand, didn't fit me at all, and it didn't fit my sister either-LOL

always size up

I had high hopes for these as I’ve heard so many good things about American Duchess shoes. Unfortunately there were problems with the shoes I didn’t expect;

1) needs to come with sizing options for the strap as it is just slightly too small. I do not have thicker feet as you can see in the pictures, but the strap just is not long enough & cannot be adjusted as it’s one continuous strip of leather on the shoe.

2) the shank of the shoe should flex with the instep but it’s totally rigid. Shoes were built to flex with the foot, which is why people were able to wear heels all day without them becoming painful. I have pairs of vintage heels that have flexible shanks, and ones without. I’ll let you guess which ones I can wear all day without any problems…

The fitment of these shoes is nice otherwise. Unfortunate that I cannot further test them as I was really looking forward to wearing them out.
