Paris Boots Wide (Black)

I waited about three years before finally deciding to purchase the boots. When they arrived and I tried them on, I cried a little, the leather felt so soft and nice against the skin, and they were so beautiful. The color is captivating and I feel truly magical when I wear them. Thank you

I surprised my partner with this pair of Paris boots in Tan/Brown for an upcoming anniversary during the Bastille Day sale (she said she'd buy this pair during next year's sale if her more versatile pair fit first). She says they're a perfect fit and she's very happy with them, and we both wish American Duchess would offer a wide option for men's shoes so I can be as just as fancy when we dress up.

I hemmed and hawed for a while about which color to pick, because I wanted a versatile color. These 7.5 wide in Cordovan fit so comfortably, and provide the ankle support I was looking for. The color isn't as warm or vibrant as the pictures on the website, but overall I'm very happy with them.

To say I am loving my new American Duchess “Paris Boots” would be an understatement! I purchased these boots because my old “vintage style” boots, which I used for performances at my local community theater, were starting to come apart at the seams. I never enjoyed having to wear those old boots because they were so uncomfortable and I couldn’t wait to take them off. From the moment I first laced up my new Paris Boots I was in Heaven! They felt amazing! Of course the real test was wearing them for a 3 hour production (My Fair Lady-Music Mountain Theater-Lambertville, NJ). They passed the test with flying colors! My cast mates grew tired of hearing me rave about how unbelievably comfortable my new boots were! When I had costume changes that required I change my shoes I complained about having to take off my “slipper boots”. Not only are these the most comfortable boots I’ve ever worn but the quality of the craftsmanship is superb! All soft leather uppers and sturdy leather soles with well stitched seams. will definitely be returning to American Duchess to purchase footwear in the future! These boots are an investment…not an expense!! That’s me in the white blouse and rust colored skirt in the background…wearing my new Paris Boots.

I’m so happy with these boots . Comfortable and stylish . I can wear them for a few varieties of eras in my costuming

I got the Burgundy Paris boots. I got them because of the color and I liked the style. I wear them with my everyday clothes but I can see why Edwardian era reenactors would love them too. I oiled them with mink oil. I ordered a 9 wide and they fit perfectly. Normally I wear a 8.5 in Red Wing boots- but those boots don’t have a heel and I think my foot spreads out when there is a heel, so I ordered a size larger in the wide and they fit great. The leather is such a rich color and shiny. I love these boots. I saw them and kept coming back to them so I finally ordered them. I love that the laces match well.

I wanted to write this review in case it can help anyone else! I don’t usually write reviews, but these boots are special. Upon reading many other reviews, I went with a wide size for the first time ever in my life. I don’t like the feeling of my toes being squished, and they fit perfectly. I usually wear 8.5/9 in boots and I purchased the 9 just to have extra room. I would go with 8.5 next time. But, there’s plenty of room and even so that I can wear orthotics and/or wool socks if needed. I bought the cordivan color, and originally wanted black but it was sold out in my size. I’m grateful now because they’re the most rich shade of brown and will match black clothing as well. They’re my dream witchy, vintage boots and I’m beyond grateful I finally found them. I am hooked on American Duchess boots forever.

It is so hard to find period boots in wide sizes that aren't boring, and these boots are PERFECT! Plenty of room for my hobbit feet while still looking super elegant and sophisticated! They have a kinda slimming effect on the feet, and the pointed front doesn't scrunch the toes at all! 11/10 Highly recommend!

I normally wear a double wide 6.5/7, but since American Duchess is still limited with their sizes and don't offer a double wide yet I went with a wide 7.5. It's a little tight on my pinky toe, but it's about what I expected and it does seem like the leather will stretch out like I want without the shape deforming too much.

I ordered the Steel grey, and really I'm disappointed in the color, it's nothing like it is in the photos. In the photos it has a nice metallic sheen and is a cool light grey. The color I received is a medium grey that does not have have that shine to it. I Imagined wearing it in a more dressy setting but with how dull the color is that's out of the question.

I agree with the other customers that the laces aren't long enough, I am unable to tie them with the laces going through the top set of grommets.

I'm still debating if I'll be returning because the fit is ok and I can tell I'd like them as more of an everyday shoe, but it's not the dressier color shown on the website and way I was hoping to wear.

This is my 5th pair of the Paris boot, as with the others they are drop dead gorgeous! (Thank you Wide Widths!) The Burgundy is very rich and the leather gives off a very fine sheen, the leather feels firm but its a good firm and will likely soften up with use. Under the right light these boots will make a statement when you strut into the room!

I’m sad about this purchase. The boots look well made but the ankle is large and looks very odd on thin legs..like sticks in a stove pipe😅😭

Normally, you can either get boots that are wide, or boots that are cute. Not both. American Duchess does the impossible. Bravo!

These shoes are just gorgeous, I have hallux valgus so my feet are quite wide and these shoes are super comfy. You can wear it with beautiful skirts and they compliment any outfit.😍 Definitely worth ordering, even for me from Canada!

Pretty and comfortable, Thank you.

I have trouble finding shoes I like in my size. I took a chance on the Paris boot and I’m glad I did. I love them.

I started with the regular Paris boots and found it wasn't wide enough for me, even though a 7 1/2 usually fits me well. (It was sooo easy to return them!) I re-ordered them in wide and now my new Paris boots fit me like a comfortable glove. They are beautifully-made, and more comfortable than I ever thought possible for a fitted, heeled boot. I recently wore them for two consecutive days of running errands and I couldn't be more pleased with how good they feel on my feet.
Added bonus, they are gorgeous boots!
Thank you so much.

I ordered a size up just to be safe and they are perfect! I still have. A little room in the toe area so I just add a little lambs wool and wear a pair of socks with them. I have worn them out dancing twice.

This is the first boot I've ordered, and will not be the last. I wear and 8 1/2W, and the fit is perfect, and so comfortable. It is so nice to find stylish footwear for wide feet, especially a boot with a pointed toe. I am blown away by the quality as well. Kudos! This company rocks!

I have big wide feet. It’s hard to find quality footwear when you’re a 13W. The boots not only fit perfectly, they are extremely comfortable even for long periods. Then they’re Victorian and very eye catching. I’m thrilled and can’t recommend these boots enough.

I love my new boots. They fit well, are true to size, and feel good.

Well made
