Marjorie 1920s Shoes (Soft White)

I absolutely love these shoes. The leather is soft, they’re comfortable to wear, and the craftsmanship is beautiful. The vintage-inspired design is elegant and timeless, making them easy to pair with both dresses and skirts. They fit true to size, and I was impressed by the quality from the moment I opened the box. I’m so happy with my purchase and will definitely be buying more shoes from American Duchess in the future.

I loved wearing these for my retro wedding. They matched my dress perfectly, and brought the outfit together. They were super comfy and I danced all night in them. As a taller girl (5’10”) I really appreciate a shapely low heel. Still feminine while allowing me to stay shorter than my husband. I was a bit between sizes, got a 8.5 that was extremely snug, so went with a 9 that had a bit of room. Extremely happy with these shoes!

I've had my eye on these since they were first released. I knew when I saw them that I was going to get married in them someday. While no marriage proposal was on the horizon, I would check back on the page every once in a while hoping I would get these when they made sense. Well, my hand was forced when I saw the availability almost gone and only one pair in my size left in stock. I decided I wasn't going to wait for a day I don't know when will come and miss my opportunity to get the wedding shoes of my dreams. So I pulled the trigger and I'm so happy I did! They have the perfect 2 in. heel with the almond toe box, the only shape I can wear due to my wide feet. It's been hard trying to find this shape of shoe, as every AD shoe with my favorite heel has a pointed toe box. While the Marjories don't come in Wide, they have almond toe, which I can wear in my usual size. I fell in love with the cutout design on the vamp and could see myself putting ribbon in them to match my wedding dress one day. It totally works but the leather is very taut, so I don't recommend changing the ribbon frequently, for risk of wearing out the leather or damaging it is higher. It's a beautifully flattering design and a versatile Mary Jane. While I don't know when I'll be able to wear them as wedding shoes, I'll enjoy using them for some pale and pastel, summery outfits and dressy events. I don't plan on keeping them locked away forever, because their perfect for many special occasions. I plan on wearing them for years to come.

I don’t like to wear heels but these are very comfy and sturdy so I can wear them out with no problems. The brown is so cute and I can’t wait to incorporate these shoes into more of my outfits!

I adore them.

These shoes are a great height and fit like other American duchess shoes I own. But the pink is a more muted pink than one might like. It’s doesn’t pop like a pretty baby pink but is a duller pink that will probably blend better and be closer to a neutral. Still as always a beautiful shoe.

I couldn’t be happier with these shoes. The blush pink is even prettier in person, and every detail has been thoughtfully finished. They feel special to wear, and I know they’ll be worn for years to come.

The perfect shoes for the office.

TTS. Solid construction. The low heel is flattering and practical. Very versatile!

It's quite gorgeous and the inside feels wonderful, however the sizing, at least for me, is a bit wierd. I bought a size 9 after returning their 9.5 and while it does fit relatively well, there's still a slight gap at my heel, while the toe areas are a little tight. Mind you I'm currently still stretching the toe areas out so I'm sure my opinion will change in a couple of weeks, but overall a nicely done pair of shoes.

Wore these for a wedding and they felt great after hours of walking around in them. They ran a little big for me- I ordered my usual size for shoes with heels and had to return for a half size down, which ended up fitting like a glove!

I'm one of those people who do not like wearing heels, but gosh these are comfortable? I love the look and the feel, and the only drawback is that they were just a teensy bit too big (which I really discovered only after wearing them for a while). I'd gotten 8.5 for the Penelope Regency flats, so figured I could get an 8.5 here too, but I really should've gone with an 8. Eh! These will be my winter shoes and I'll just wear thicker stockings with them, it'll be fine

These fit perfectly, and have exactly the classic style I was looking for. I was able to put them on without a button hook but it is a bit of a wiggle so if you have any dexterity challenges I would definitely recommend a button hook. They are comfortable and while they would definitely work with a retro outfit they are also neutral enough for modern office wear.

The shoes are already getting lots of compliments, and today was the first time I wore them out! I do wish I had gone down a half size, I got this size because it's what I wear in the Paris boots, but with the more rounded toe box it's almost too big (didn't figure that until I worn them a little longer though)

The heel is a little lower than I usually go for, but these are still absolutely adorable and they're so comfortable. I like that it's possible to button the straps without a buttonhook.

These are the best, most favorite shoes of my adulthood.

The button fell off the second time I put these on.

I know buttons aren't forever, but they should last longer than two wears. For the price, I expect better.

I absolutely love my shoes! The Marjorie 1920s shoe is exactly what I was looking for to wear on my wedding day. They are beautiful, incredibly well made with quality materials, and actually comfortable; I wore them all day and evening and never got sore or tired feet. I will wear these shoes with everything - they easily can be dressed up or down. If you don't own a button hook, do get one. Yes, you can button these without one, but you're going to fight with it. Sizing is accurate, so order your regular shoe size. And customer service is top-notch. When I ran into a snag during ordering (no fault of American Duchess, just a tech glitch) Janette was prompt in responding my email and helped me easily fix the issue. I will definitely come back to American Duchess for future purchases!

I would really like to give 4.66 Stars. The Marjorie pumps are really cute with the decorative stitching, a strap that isn't too chunky or too thin and a delightful vintage shape heel. It is tall enough to be elegant but not so tall as to be uncomfortable or unstable. The cordovan leather is the perfect color to go with many outfits in one's wardrobe. While I was a little concerned at first about the snugness of the toebox, as the leather warmed up, it was not at uncomfortable. I would like to take 1/3 star off the score because the first attempt to button them, it was nearly impossible. as brand new shoes, the leather is naturally a bit stiff and the button is small, slippery and difficult to maneuver. I really thought about searching for a buttonhook. (I see now that they are for sale on the website, but if you are a fan of old things, I think that the search for a button hook in an antique store would be fun, and probably a fraction of the cost.) I finally got it buttoned, and it was easier the second time as the button hole had relaxed a bit. Overall I am really pleased with everything about these shoes except the harsh words we had at the very beginning of our relationship. *I normally wear a size 10, and was happy I ordered a 10.5. Thank You, American Duchess, for offering such a wide size range!!

Love how these shoes look and feel! I am often on my feet for long periods of time and these are the most comfortable dress shoes I have worn for periods longer than 3 hours.

I love that this shoe has a rounded toe! My feet are happy that my pinky and next two toes are not getting crushed against the sides of the shoes and I can wear them for all day without my toenails getting deformed! Thank you so much!
The only thing that has happened is that the elastic holding the button had gotten so stretched that it can no longer be called elastic… but the button is still attached.

Love the cut of the vamp, very flattering. The leather detail is a nice extra touch. The heel height is perfect! Quite comfortable. Sad to send back. The cordovan reads dark brown and my other cordovan shoes and polishes have a more red/burgundy tint than these. Also the lack of an adjustable buckle is a no for me. Although I could move the button, that is a more permanent solution. The issue is dancing means a tighter fit that then needs loosening as feet swell, and much easier to adjust in different climates. Also, since cordovan didn't work, would love to see an actual.burgundy or navy added to collection. I would get both!
