Laurel Beaded Edwardian Shoes Wide (Dusty Lilac)

Just received them! I love them. They are comfortable and getting them in wide was the right call. Super excited to wear them for my wedding next summer!

These are everything I'd hoped they would be. Soft leather, quality made and a perfect fit. I have a very wide foot but narrow heel. I've had a very hard time finding shoes that fit me well right out of the box that don't require a long, painful break in time. These are just perfect. The beading is so pretty and the dusty lilac is so, so pretty. I had these in my cart for ages, I'm so glad I finally pulled the trigger and bought them.

I was looking for a period accurate shoes to match my Art Deco 1920’s themed wedding and these were perfect! I was even asked where I got my shoes from at my dress fittings as they were so unique. They run true to size and were very comfortable the whole Wedding Day/Night. The ribbon tie was very nice to keep the shoes secure.

IT attracts compliments and is comfortable: Unique, Authentic, Playful

These were my first pair of shoes from American Duchess, and I was extremely impressed. In fact, every pair I’ve purchased has looked even better in person than online. The quality is outstanding, and the craftsmanship is evident from the moment you open the box.

I wear a size 9 Wide, and the fit was perfect for me, with just enough room to add a thin gel insole for even more comfort without making the shoes feel tight.

These Mary Jane pumps are absolutely beautiful. The craftsmanship is exquisite, they feel exceptionally well made, and the heel height is very manageable. They’re elegant without sacrificing comfort, which made them a wonderful choice for me.

I have been trying to find a wide width shoe to wear with my tea length wedding dress for my wedding in July. Needless to say, it was wrought with frustration. Then these glorious shoes arrived and they fit perfectly and were comfortable and look amazing. I cannot wait to see them all together.

This is the first pair of shoes I have gotten from American Duchess and these are beautiful. The leather is soft, the bead work is gorgeous and they are comfortable to walk in.

These shoes are absolutely stunning and never want to take them off. The beading is spectacular, the fit is impeccable, and the delicate side bow makes them a historical showstopper. I wore them for three days in a row after receiving them and couldn't have been more comfortable (legit, preferred them over my Keds). The heel height and stability are super secure, look amazing, and feel even better. The wide fit was perfect for my feet too! I will never buy regular width now that I've worn these.

BE ADVISED: When I first put them on at home, I thought for sure I would need to return them and get a half size up as the toe box was quite tight/crunched. But I really wanted to wear them that day and said to heck with it and went for it. With one long day of wear, the leather had molded to my toe box and stretched comfortably where if I had gotten the half size up, they would've been falling off. So please, give them time to mold. The leather is super soft and just takes some warmth and then you'll have a perfectly fitting shoe. I also have the AD Bernadette's and the leather there is much stiffer and never molded to my foot (for that I much prefer the Laurels!!).

Only criticism: I am pretty hard on my shoes and wore these for three days straight out of the box, running around at a theatre production for 12+ hrs, up and down multiple flights of steps, moving set pieces, etc. etc., etc.. I only did while wearing them because they were so hecking comfortable while looking impeccable!!
Unfortunately, I discovered that the beads on the toes actually scratched up the back of the heel and inner arch area of the other shoe decently because of how I walk and with doing so much. I'm so so sad about that and hope I can find a leather polish or way to buff them with the unique color that isn't obvious. I also already lost the one bead on the toe of the shoes. I wish a few replacement beads had been sent with the shoes so I could replace them. But that doesn't change my opinion that these are the best ADs I've ever had.

Love! Can't wait to wear for my wedding!

What is not to love! They are stunning, well made and comfortable. I have very wide feet (a true 9.5W) and these fit like a glove. I want a pair in every color of the rainbow.

They're even more beautiful in person and unbelievably comfortable! I usually don't do pointy toed shoes but these are truly comfortable. There's no pinching or squashing. The color and the beading are just gorgeous.
