I love these shoes, they're so charming, but the heel material is really stiff and feels like it's going to chew my heel off 😅 Maybe it will soften up with more wear. Gorgeous shoes otherwise!
We're so glad you like them! The heel cup of most of our shoes are sturdily built to last, but they will soften up with time. We suggest wearing them for short bits of time and building up to longer to help break them in. That also gives your feet time to adjust, which is an important part of this process - ANY shoe can feel awful against sensitive skin if your skin hasn't built up a thicker layer in that spot just yet. As you wear these or any shoe, your skin will thicken up slightly in response in any areas that it needs. It's why folks often find that swapping to some styles of summer shoes that touch the foot in different places can take a bit of time to adjust to - we lose our protective skin layers over winter!
These shoes are absolutely adorable, like perhaps one of the cutest shoes I’ve ever seen. I loved the look of them so much, that I actually bought them in TWO colors: olive drab and blue. This was my first purchase from AD and I was so excited to wear them everyday, but I have soon discovered that they are just killer on my feet! I’m a size 7 wide, and I know this to be true as I have worn 7.5 shoes in the past when I didn’t realize I was a wide, only for them to be too big. I got both shoes in a 7W, but they are just way too small. It seems to be a length issue, because my big toe is pressing up against the shoe and the other toes have indentations of squeezing. I know AD advises that dress shoes are meant to be a closer fit, but I only ever wear dress shoes/heels and I’ve never had this issue before with other 7W shoes. I’m truly gutted, as I really wanted to say these are 5 star shoes, but it’s been 4 days of wear and actually, one of the heel caps fell off and the discomfort is still present even with the shoe inserts I added. I wish I could return the other pair for a 7.5W but it’s sold out, so I guess I’ll have to see if I can stretch them <\3
Hi Em,
We recommend that customers contact our customer service team at info@americanduchess.com if you're experiencing fit issues before you attempt to wear your shoes out or break them in, we're happy to offer advice while the shoes are still eligible for return!
If you email our customer service team, they'll be happy to work with you to see if stretching may be a viable option to help the Clementines fit you a bit better.
I don't wear heels but am amazed at how comfortable and stable these shoes are! LOVE the color and just have to make the dress to go with them! Outstanding value.
I needed wide, & these wide shoes fit well! They came with a replacement set of heal bottoms for when the originals get worn, which is likely, as I plan to wear them a lot! Also came with a pair of replacement laces ! Very happy! !
The shoes are gorgeous, just a looser fit than I expected, so they look a bit silly on me.
