I’ve been wanting a pair of American Duchess oxfords for several years and finally made the purchase this month. I have wider feet but they’re super comfortable and hold my feet nicely. But, I've only worn them for 4 days, and the soles in the bottom are already scraping off! I’m just walking on normal pavement and floors. It is scraping off to reveal the bottoms. Also the heel is already starting to wear down!! I’m really surprised at the quality. I was expecting a lot better quality so I’m super disappointed:( I wanted to order the Edwardian boots but I’m not sure I will now.
We're glad you love the style! To put your mind at ease, the soles aren't wearing through; the thin spray coating of water resistant sealant scuffing off on pavement, which is going to happen when any thin coating meets rough ground. The coating is a darker color than the leather sole, so it can look alarming! Not to fear, though, the leather sole is fully intact and the integrity of the shoe is solid. The heel caps look fully intact and normal with not much wear; they are meant to take all the wear and tear so the heel doesn't, and be replaced as needed. We include a complimentary pair of extra heel caps in the box for your first swap out! We also have a page on caring for your leather soles and keeping them water resistant here: https://www.americanduchess.com/pages/how-to-care-for-leather-soles
I bought these in 2025 after admiring them for a long time. I was worried about the fit, but the wide option fits great! I wish my partner could find men's historical reproduction shoes in wide sizes. These are so comfy!
These shoes look amazing, they're very Edwardian/Anne of Green Gables but also slightly Dark Academia coded, and will go with a lot of outfits. Because they're a narrow, pointy toe, I ordered a wide and a half size up and that was the right decision.
We are having a renaissance themed wedding. The shows go amazingly well with the mother of the bride dress I be wearing. They are very well made. I look forward to wearing them to not only the event but with many other combinations in the future.
Awesome comfortable fit and extremely stylish that enhances my everyday wardrobe!! (Size 10W)
First, know that I absolutely love these shoes! They take me back to a good place in my childhood, a time I like to remember. The heel height is perfect for me.
I have been wanting a pair of American Dutchess shoes for years, and I finally splurged! They are so beautiful, made so well, and are a perfect addition to my closet. From the first whiff of that leather shop smell, I was in love! I will definitely be purchasing again.
I typically wear anything from an 8 to a 9W, so I guessed my size in the middle as 8.5W expecting to send them back when they inevitably didn't fit. To my delight however, they fit perfectly! Wonderful shoes, superb fit, and a delightfully iconic 'click' when I walk. Couldn't be happier with my purchase! Well, unless I'd waited and bought them on the Bastille sale that happened right after I wore them outside for the first time...
Regardless my disappointment at missing out on a discount, I will definitely be saving up and buying another pair of shoes in the future.
I ordered the shoes for my daughter in laws 25 birthday on Jan 1. She is thrilled! The order was speedy and organized. Thankyou.!
I bought the Londoners in blue regular once before the wide was available and went a half size up. They were ok but pretty tight with hose on, esp in the pointed toe area even with the foot petals. My toes were numb by the end of the night whenever I wore them. I sized up more this time so I could wear them with socks as well as hose if I want. I may try some thin insoles as well since they don’t have padding and can be uncomfortable for long wear. I usually wear a size 7 regular in most shoes but for these an 8 wide was comfortable. I was happy to see they are more of a burgundy than a purple since that what I was hoping for with the cherry. I’m hoping for wide in more styles that have the pointed toe so my toes have room to breathe like they do with these. Wide sizes for this style is a perfect solution.
I have a wide feet. It is very hard to find the right fit for my feet. I ordered size 8.5 W. They are true to size. The design is beautiful! Great quality leather shoes!
This is my second pair of this shoe, both size 10 W. I also have them in tan The reason I am slowly trying to acquire an entire shoe wardobe from this company is the availability of wide sizes. Unfortunately, the black version of the shoe, despite being listed as a wide size, is more narrow than the tan. I hope it will stretch with wear, and that this is an anomaly, because I truly love this company's shoes.
We're glad we can offer wide sizes! Keep in mind that leather shoes stretch with wear; we would expect a new pair (the black) to fit more snuggly than the pair you purchased two years ago (the tan) and have been wearing - the tan will have softened and stretched out and will feel bigger.

I’ve been looking at these for years and just couldn’t justify them. But they’re wonderful. Only worn them a few times and already so comfortable despite being leather. I have a high arch and wide ball, but these fit beautifully.
I think so because they put perfectly. I love the colors and the style. No words can express how much I appreciate this cobbler and their workmanship. Thank you for the opportunity to speak.
Gorgeous!
They are beautiful, and fit like a dream!!
Perfect fit, so glad to have these. Working on breaking them in, but the wide perfect for anyone on the fence about it
Great service and excellent products!
These are the most gorgeous pair of shoes I've ever owned. They're very well-made, and they fit great even though I usually have trouble finding shoes that don't pinch my wide feet. I debated between the black and cherry for a long time, and in the end decided to go with the more fun color. I love them!
I fell in love with the color and the fact that they were on sale cinched the sale. They arrived promptly and they fit.
I'm not a pro, but I got these for a community play I'm in. Pricey for that purpose, but I have serious feet and back issues so I don't go cheap with shoes anymore. I picked these because I will actually wear them off the stage.
I was worried about the heel (gave those up years ago), but these shoes are so well-constructed that I dont even feel like I'm wearing heels.
To start breaking them in I wore them on a rare day in the office, and at the end of the day my feet didnt hurt AT ALL. I don't own another pair of shoes other than sneakers that wouldn't hurt after walking around in them that long.
I am officially hooked on these shoes. They remind me of a pair of Oxfords I had in HS. (No, im not that old but I liked retro shoes back then.)
I wouldn't say these are a true wide, but they only ever so slightly could use more toe room. And I had to think to find something I didnt like or would want to change about the shoes. A millimeter or two wider would be great, but with all my arthritis and balance issues I still wasn't uncomfortable at all after wearing them, even the first time!
Saving up for another pair of your fabulous shoes!
