Karolina Retro Oxfords (Black)
Description
In collaboration with Karolina Żebrowska, meet the incredible Karolina oxfords, inspired by original 1930s designs and made in luxurious and durable suede. These oxfords are all about the details, with interesting Art Deco inspired patterning, cutouts, and an elegant shape to flatter any foot.
The Karolinas are an all-day shoe made on our famously comfortable '30s last with the perfectly balanced 2.5 in / 6.3 cm Spanish heel. We've chosen footwear-specific suede for this design, which is specially made to wear in all weather without damage. This is a soft yet supportive design perfect to pair with all things vintage.

Beautiful shoes, well made, and I have gotten so many compliments wearing them.
But they are narrow.
My feet are not wide but neither are they narrow. I have worn them in pain. The left shoe was fine and the length was perfect. (8,5 and I am a 39 EU size) But the right foot was so tight I could not wear them for long, it was too painful.
I have been wearing them at home to stretch them and they are much better already. They are definitely worth the pain if I ever buy another pair of A-D shoes I´ll maybe try a size 9.
Very beautiful shoes and even with the pain I fell pretty in them.
And, they wear my name, a great bonus.
Hi Karolina,
Please reach out to our customer service team at info@americanduchess.com, they'll be happy to give you advice on how to help your Karolina's fit you better!
Very nice but very small fit (had ro return for a full size larger)
Ok
Beautiful and amazingly comfortable shoes. I am actually a size eu 38 and ordered size 8 which fit well. However, I also have rather wide toes while my heel is rather narrow. For people with narrow toes, 7.5 would also be sufficient.
The shoes are super well made and very pretty. Slightly softer laces would be good since they are in direct contact with the foot, but I will simply replace them with satin laces.
Karolina Women's Retro Oxfords (Black/Grey)
As always, your shoes have a marvellous Design and a good shape for my feet, especially when they have the pointier toe. Unfortunately the round laces are hurting a little bit on my wrist, maybe I'll change them with nice satin ribbons, so this problem will be solved!
I thought that they are beautiful but I found the leather extremely stiff and will have to use some spray to soften the leather and hopefully they will fit better. Maybe it would have been better if I had moved up a size.
Leather shoes can start off a bit stiff; it's normal to need a bit of breaking in time. They will soften up beautifully as you break them in, and will stretch and mold to your feet. We only recommend going up a half size if the shoe is too small!
These are prettier in nature. They really make your feet look smaller and elegant! I am in loooooove <3. Also the comfiest heel I have ever tried on! I bet my feet don't hurt after wearing these as much as modern heels that burn...
