    Immaculate as ever

    Gorgeous style, perfectly comfortable fitting. This is my third pair of American Duchess shoes and I have never been disappointed

    Stylish and comfortable

    This is my first pair of shoes from American Duchess. I have been avoiding pointy toe shoes since my toes are rathe square-cut even though my feet are not at all wide. I bought my true size, EU 38 with normal width. Yes, I am going to take them to a cobbler to stretch them in the pinky area but other than that the shoes are so gorgeous! Pompadour heels are so comfortable and stable. Gross-grain ribbons are so cute and not slippery. The shoes would definitely spice up my wardrobe!

    I love them!

    This is my second pair. I have a EU 40, and bought the 9 a few years ago. They were slightly too small. Now i have the 9,5 and its perfect!

    The toe splay struggle

    I've bought plenty of pairs of AD shoes in different models and even sizes, and I've found that there's never enough room in the toes. Sizing up (or accidentally buying half a size bigger than you need, like I did) didn't help, ball of foot cushions didn't help, and I doubt buying shoes in a wider width would be any use - my B-width shoes fit just fine everywhere except for the toe area. The toe boxes tend to be very rigid and constructed in such a way that they curve my otherwise straight big toes inward, and OH BOY DOES IT HURT after just a few hours of wear! Thankfully, I was able to stretch them with a shoe stretcher and a stretching spray, which made a world of a difference (I could only wear them for 3 hours tops with no stretching, and then had to take them off because I couldn't bear the pain anymore, but after stretching I can wear them for 8+ hours with no pain at all).

    I've also found that the color from the lining rubs off onto stockings, but only for the first few wears. Other than that, I'm fully satisfied with all of the shoes I've bought so far after stretching them, and the heels are indeed as comfortable as the other reviews say, but I can't bring myself to leave 5 stars because of all the effort it takes to convince the shoes to stop trying to give me bunions. Then again, I've spent most of my life wearing sneakers and flats, so I suppose I'm more sensitive to the differences than the people who switch to AD shoes after wearing modern high heels.

    Literally the best

    This was the first pair of American Duchess shoes I ever purchased (they lived rent free in my head for maybe 2 years before I realised I had to get them) and became an instant favourite. They look just as beautiful in person as they do on the pictures and although I was terrified of getting the size wrong, I trusted the scale, taking the size that aligned with my foot length measurement and my EU size, and they are a perfect fit. They aren't just comfortable, they feel like a natural part of your feet, which means comfort even for an entire day of wear (which I have done). Very grateful for the extra heel caps too, a very thoughtful addition. This will probably become a gateway to more AD shoes, so be wary of that!
