Claire Women's 1940s Oxfords (Black)

I love this shoes! I don't wear a lot of shoes with a heel but those are the most comfortable pair I own. The first time I wore them, I went on a walk about 3 to 5 miles, and there was no blister or sore spots anywhere. I am impressed. Also, you don't even need to be careful with your balance. Normally I'm a bit wobbly in heels but not with them

These shoes are wonderful !!!
I've wear these for the second time today, more than 11 hours straigt. I've worked and I got out with these. I'm a tour guide so I walk a lot and they are very, very, confortable. I even did a weaving demo with an antique loom with it and I had no problems whatsoever.
This kind of heels are perfect to walk in a city. I'm feeling stunning with these and vintage outfits (like 40'/50').
I advise to ask a shoemaker to add an extra non slippery sole to have them for a longer time as they have only smooth leather soles.
The investment is worth it and I'm looking forward to buy my next pair.
Thanks to all the American Duchess' team.

I always wear size 6.5M (or B) shoes, no matter what the brand is . Based on the prior reviews, I also order 6.5. The shoes came, they look to be of great quality, but, the toe area feels a bit tight for me. I really really wish they fit me like a glove, but regrettably, I have to return them.

Overall: I love my brown Claire’s. They may not exactly be a high-fashion on-trend style atm, but they are charming and characterful – and they’re the shoes that our grandmothers wore, so how could we not love wearing them!?
Details: The dark-brown stacked heel feels stable and contrasts nicely with the mid-brown leather upper, which has a warm reddish tinge (that is closer in color to how they look in the YouTube video, than in the photos). The brown shows up the brogue pin-prick details nicely. They also look unexpectedly cool with jeans.
Sizing and Comfort: I got size 9 (I’m a true 9B) and found them accurate to size, but these have more width overall and room across the toe area than the Bernadette’s or Lucille’s – so no need to size-up. Wearable out of the box, they are practical and comfy to walk in, just as you would expect of a style from the era they were inspired by. Plus, they’re well made.
Customer Service/Delivery: Very fast from order to delivery (to Australia, via DHL) 3.5 working days.
Conclusion: They make me feel both nostalgic and cheerful 😊 5 stars! They’re probably the shoes I would grab if I could only take one pair of shoes in an emergency, (unless it was going to involve running, in which case I’d probably chose runners instead) 😉 However – fair warning: these are not stealth shoes, as the heel is unusually loud on hard surfaces, I think they would benefit from rubber stoppers rather than standard plastic.

I love these shoes. They are cute and super comfy- even after walking through an airport!
