Wanted to love them

I don't have particularly wide feet but I have read that american duchess tends to run pretty narrow so I followed the advice of the website and sized up, unfortunately even with sizing up I can barely get the shoe on my foot. The leather portion of the shoes seems like an okay quality but the canvas upper was lacking in my opinion for the price point (even the sale price I purchased them on) around the buttonholes there was raw fabric edges poking through. Oh and if you have any amount of muscle on your calves, good lick buttoning these all the way up. Im disappointed to say the least and unfortunately since I bought them as a last chance item, Im not able to return them, I had heard that the companies quality had gone down in recent years but this was completely dissapointing.

We're sorry to hear these didn't work out for you! We're happy to chat over fit questions and issues, just email us at info@americanduchess.com. Note that the black Manhattan is a returnable item, unless you've worn them or otherwise rendered them not in original condition. A sale price doesn't mean no returns!

Since everyone's legs are different widths, we do include the measurements of the boot shaft and top circumference in the boot description so that you can check if they'll fit your legs prior to purchase. Button boots aren't as flexible in leg sizing as other closure styles, as they're not as adjustable - they're always going to be too narrow for some folks, and too wide for others. Lace up boots are naturally able to fit a larger variety of leg sizes than any button boot could, so you might want to consider one of those styles!

Beautiful and comfortable

Love these little boots. True to size. I was worried when I first put them on with how comfortable they would be. But the ankle area lost its stiffness quickly and the toes do not pinch.
