Bellatrix Edwardian Shoes (Soft Ivory)

I had spent years putting together a “Transition Period*” afternoon tea outfit (it started with the hat! Purchased 15 years ago). Then I found the dress of my dreams at Antique Wardrobe on eBay.
The perfect event arose: The Tahoe Gatsby Afternoon Tea & Fashion Show. Our table made it a Celebration of Life honoring some of our mothers we lost this year. Their favorite color was purple.
I was going to wear a pair of vintage shoes I already had, but they were “strictly 20’s flapper” not quite right. The outfit deserved perfection.
When I saw the Bellatrix Edwardian shoes in soft Ivory .. I knew they were the ones! I felt like royalty.
The best thing is they will be perfect for many other outfits from Edwardian to late 20’s.
The fashion show director was THRILLED! I never regret an American Duchess splurge! Thank YOU! ♥️
BTW: I have very problematic feet, super high arch, unstable. With American Duchess Shoes, these problems vanish. I had worried about the buttons being cumbersome. They are NOT. AMAZING!
*very early 20’s, Late Edwardian, early Art Deco, my FAVORITE ERA!

The shoes are absolutely gorgeous and the quality is exceptional.

These shoes are very comfortable as well as beautiful. I feel pretty when I wear them. True to size.

Beautiful and so comfortable. Very narrow though, glad I sized up a half size.

I am so glad I was able to slip in and buy the Bellatrix in Navy. The shoes fit perfectly. They are super comfortable. I just worked a 4 hour event in them yesterday and they were great (I have a bad hip)! I am so glad I bought these.

I am so over the top impressed with the make of this shoe! The leather is beautiful and soft so it gives a little stretch, I have a slightly wide foot, I was able to wear them for over 8 hours straight! So stylish so comfortable! Compliments all night long! can’t wait to buy another pair!

I have the Mae Edwardian Shoes in French Blue, Red AND Green! I REALLY DO LOVE THEM ALL!!

Until I discovered AMERICAN DUTCHESS, I have been wearing NOTHING BUT flip flops or orthopedic shoes FOR DECADES because EVERY SHOE I TRIED ON H-U-R-T my feet, especially my bunion! I thought heels were gone FOREVER! I discovered American Dutchess and ALL THAT CHANGED! While Mae Edwardian Shoes are comfortable, the Bellatrix Edwardian Shoes are EVEN MORE COMFORTABLE!
I have one pair in black, one pair in Navy and TWO in the Ivory because they feel so good on my feet! I come home, after having them on all day and wear them until bedtime!

I also have the Gibson Edwardian Leather Shoes in tan that I love ❤️

I also have Elsie Edwardian Pumps in seafoam, they fit a little snug, I am working on stretching them. AND while I have the Anna May 1920s Mary Jane High Heels in ox blood and black I have yet to wear them.

AMERICAN DUTCHESS has WONDERFUL customer service! The shoes ARE very much worth the price!

I am SO GRATEFUL to once again be able to wear BEAUTIFUL shoes that I receive compliments on, ALL THE TIME, THAT ARE ALSO COMFORTABLE!!!!

STRANGERS STOP ME ASKING ABOUT MY DAILY BEAUTIFUL ENSEMBLE of AMERICAN DUTCHESS shoes, APRIL CORNELL dresses and SB EQUESTRIAN-Sinamay HATS! That has become my signature look! THANK YOU AMERICAN DUCHESS FOR BEING PART OF THAT DAILY ENSEMBLE!!!!

To my feeling COMFORTABLE while looking BEAUTIFUL!!!

Runs a bit narrow unlike the usual styles. 7 usually fits me perfectly

True to size, comfortable; I received many compliments at a recent 1920s Gala

I have problem feet. Plantar Fasciitis and since I broke my ankle about 6 years back I cannot wear very high heels. Besides being beautiful shoes, the heel height on the Bellatrix is very comfortable for me. I found the very easy to button even though I misplaced my button hook. I wore them to a family wedding last weekend and danced for hours in them! (I also have and love the Astoria, Gibson, Balmoral, Kensington, Millie, Renoir, Savoy and Tavistock styles - all beautiful and comfortable for me). I am an 8.5 but buy their size 9 for my somewhat wide feet. I love their shoes!!!

I wear an 11-11.5 wide shoe, and ordered the size 12 Bellatrix shoes in Oxblood. Even though they are a B width, they do not feel too tight on my wide feet. A few spritzes of shoe stretching spray, and they should be good to go! The color is rich and beautiful, and these seem very well made.

These shoes are so elegant. The insides are butter-soft and the French heel is easy to walk on—I’ve worn them several times for a full day and they are as comfortable at the end of the day as at the beginning. Very pleased!

These were delivered to me in November and I just now tried them on. Very comfortable even with the height of the heel and stay on my feet well when walking. My "normal" shoes are of the diabetic type and this particular brand of shoes suit me just as well. However, I do use the "shoe stretcher" that I purchased from American Duchess and follow their online instructions.
