Mae Edwardian Shoes (Black)
Description
Mae Edwardian Shoes are the most elegant reproduction Edwardian heels of your dreams.
Developed directly from an original 1900s design, the Mae feature tone-on-tone suede and smooth leather with a sophisticated Mary Jane strap crossing elegantly over the instep. The 2.25 in / 5.7 cm French heel is delicate and well-balanced, paired with a pointed toe to create the perfect Edwardian and 1920s silhouette.
Wear Mae with fashion from the turn of the 20th century all the way through the mid-1920s, or with your Gothic or Lolita, cottagecore, dark academia, and historybounding outfits, as well as historical WWI, Downton Abbey and Titanic era dress.

Wonderful shoe, not too high, beautiful colour, perfect for my twenties dress
Very comfortable
I have wanted these shoes for a long time (at least 2 years !) but they sold out so quickly I kept missing my chance. I finally managed to purchase them and am thrilled. They’re well-made and just as beautiful as in the pictures. I can’t wait to wear them with a pretty frock!
The quality of the shoes are great but the width is a little small. Since i have very thin feet these are perfect for me but i can see why it would be an issue for someone else.
I fell in love when I saw them in the shop. Now they have arrived they look even more beautiful than in the pictures. They fit perfectly and are neatly manufactured. No problems with buttoning them, even without the hook, which I don't possess anyway. Great craftsmanship!

As I have a high instep, I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to close the strap. To be honest, I can’t. But I can slip into them while the strap is closed.
These shoes have been on my wishlist for a long time and I’m so happy to finally own them now! They are so pretty!
We're glad you like them! If you have any issues with the strap, our customer service team is always happy to advise - just reach out to us at info@americanduchess.com and we can talk about what adjustments can be made.
The shoes are beautiful in person and they are also very comfortable. I usually wear size 37 EU and the size 7 fit perfectly. However, it is very hard to pull the button through the buttonhole at first. I definitely recommend using a hook.
The beauty of this pair is breathtaking, I’m totally in love with them. Just waiting for my button hook to arrive as I cannot close them otherwise.
These shoes are beautiful and really comfortable. I wore them at a historical event and they were perfect, I received so many compliments! I really recommend using a button hook, it makes things so much easier!
I'm a EU size 41, with a high curve on the top of my feet, so I ordered a 10.5, and it fits perfectly! These are beautiful and comfortable, I've gotten so many compliments on them, and I can wear them all day with no pain. I an close them by hand or with the buttonhook I also ordered.
Definitely worth the money!
if you have wide feet order something a little bigger but otherwise they are perfect
Wonderfully elegant and comfortable. It is hard to find shoes that fit a slightly narrow size 10 with high arches, are comfortable, and still look dainty - and these are perfect. I also like the strap placement - it is supportive but keeps my ankles free.
Can confirm a button hook facilitates buttoning these! But without the hook I sink my weight back into the heel of the shoe, nudge the button sideways (so the edge and not the dome is facing up) then fold the buttonhole over the button - push the hole down around the button, and everything pops in place. Hope this description is helpful to someone!
These shoes are absolutely gorgeous and the base fits true to size. The color is unique and beautiful. Unfortunately, if you have any height or curve to the top of your foot, you may not be able to wear them. The strap did not even reach the other side of the shoe- not even that close. If you are lucky enough that with your foot the strap would at least reach, you could move the button over a bit, but there was no way to make the top strap meet the other side of the shoe for my daughter, so we had to return them. If your foot is flatter on top, I would highly recommend them.
Hi Kat,
Our button shoes are designed to fit snugly against your foot, so if you find you are having problems buttoning your Maes, we recommend using a button hook.
Really pretty, I've never had shoes in this color and it's such a lovely stormy grey blue. If you don't already have a button hook tool, absolutely get one if you buy this style. Even with just one button its immensely faster and easier with the hook.
These do seem to run smaller than all my other AD shoes, esp across the top of the foot. They still fit but they're a smidge tight. (That's the only reason these aren't 5 star.)
We're sorry to hear your Mae's are a bit tight! We suggest using shoe stretch spray if you need just a little more room, but if you need more room across the instep, we have excellent step-by-step instructions on how to move the buttons for a more comfortable fit on our website.
