Christine Vintage Pumps (Widow Black)
Description
From the mind of Christine McConnell, introducing the Christine Pumps. Inspired by the open-sided pumps that were popular in the 1930s and 1940s, these sleek, sexy pumps from our collaboration collection with Christine McConnell are a veritable vision. Faux suede uppers in angular dimensions are set off by an alluring keyhole on the toe. Built on our perfectly balanced 2.5"/6.35 cm Cuban heel, leather-free Christine Pumps are a surefire way to add intrigue to your ensemble.

I would have to return the first pair I ordered, much like a number of reviews. I originally ordered half a size larger than usual, it turned out a full size larger would for much better. The process was easy and I was quickly breaking in what are now my favorite shoes!
Wish I could love these, but the cut and the toe cleavage are a little… well sadly they are too obscene to be worn stocking free.
I’m a 9-9.5B width, and I do have longer limbs / fingers / toes.
These shoes are beautiful (even more so in person) and very unique looking. Heeding the sizing advice, I ordered a half size up and am glad I did, as it has proved to be a comfortable, good fit. I would also like to compliment the wonderful customer service I received; Christina replied to my emails promptly, and was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful.
The actual shoes are adorable. I havent worn them yet to know if they're comfy. I ordered my usual American Duchess size only to have them be far too small, so I didn't get to wear them to the event I ordered them for.
The Christines can run small for some folks, so if you're between sizes we do recommend sizing up! We include sizing notes on every page in the sizing tab, so be sure to check that out. Please always feel free to reach out to us before or after you order to chat about sizing and fit, we're happy to help! If this pair isn't quite the right size for you, see our returns and exchanges page for info on how to swap them out.
They are beautiful, comfortable and super cool looking. Cuban heels are my favorite and the styling is very attractive. As suggested, I bought a half size up and I am happy with that decision.
Run small be sure and size up as much as 1.5x for wide feet. Top quality shoes tho
It does run small went up a half a size and it fits perfectly. Very comfortable and beautiful. And so unique. My second American duchess shoes. And they are both great quality
I got too small a size the first time but the return was very easy and it was only off by half a size so I would still say the sizing is reasonably accurate. They also stay on reliably and are quite comfy. Just as pretty as the pictures!
I will have to return these as I can barely squeeze my foot into them - both width and length are too small. Ordered the same size in 2 other pairs of shoes and they were fine. Oh well. They are beautiful and appear well constructed otherwise.
Beautiful pumps. They do run a little small. No problem, return and exchange was easy . Thank you so much!
Huge fan of Christine here! I ordered the Christine pumps in widow black and the Mildred flats in crystal ball. I am a very true size 7, but had to first exchange the pumps for 7.5 and then again for an 8. Highly advise considering AT LEAST a half size up in the Christine pumps specifically. The Mildreds in my usual size worked just fine. One thing I will say is that AD has a very easy exchange process! Thank you!
These shoes have the most lovely shades of pink in person! And they are some of the most comfortable heels I have ever worn. Also, ordering from American Duchess has been amazing. It was a long wait for the pre-order but shipping was quick after the shoes came in to their warehouse. I did order the wrong size at first but customer service was so helpful and an exchange was easy.
So happy to picked up a pair of these beautiful non-leather shoes. They are a touch on the smaller side. So it is worth sizing up a half-size.
Can’t wait to wear these with my pink 1950’s dress when I teach on the “50th” day of school in the fall. Comfy and soft!
I bought all the varieties of the Christine McConnell shoes, and this pair was just right! The fit is flawless, and just like the others, they are so unique and so beautiful. If you are on the fence you should absolutely get these - they are one of a kind and they are so comfortable. I am in love!
Wish I could afford more, fits well and beautiful
When I received and unboxed these pumps, my 2 (older) sons (who are not women’s-fashion conscious) were also with me and all 3 of us were blown away by the quality of the uppers and lowers, plus the design. Very, very nice!
Stunning shoes and design but fit very small and narrow in the toes. I’d recommend going half a size up :)
Very pretty shoes, but wide foot women beware. They are more narrow than other shoes from American duchess. I wear a size 10, and they fit well from heel to toe, but the width across my toe is a bit tight. It’s not tight enough to warrant going up a size, so I’m just going to stretch them a bit.
I bought a size 8 and I am returning to try a 9 and 9.5.
