Description

Renoir Victorian Button Boots offer sturdy sophistication with the perfect mid-Victorian silhouette. Period-correct for the late 1850s to the 1880s, Renoir features all-leather materials, true side-buttoning closure, and the comfort you need for all-day re-enactments.

These mid-Victorian and Bustle Era boots have square toes, a short heel molded from an original, and an attractive scalloped edge and top, making them practical yet feminine, and ideal for a fashionable Victorian lady.

Wear Renoirs for historical events, or add a bit of incognito history to your cottagecore, dark academia, or historybounding outfits. Renoirs have appeared on screen in "Victoria," and "Alias Grace."

You will need a button hook to easily and quickly get your boots on.

Amazing

These are the most comfy boots I have ever owned. I work 8 hour shifts in retail where I have to look elegant while spending all this time on my feet. For that, these boots are a godsend. My feet no longer want to kill me when I get home in the evening & the boots look elegant & adorable on top of that. No regrets.

Very comfortable to wear, super pretty

You definitely need the button hook

If you want to wear around town, GET HALF SOLES PUT ON!! To prevent the damage!

Beautiful and comfy

I was so excited to receive my Renoir boots !
I'm glad that I ordered a half size up like was recommended. They fit perfectly and feel very comfy :-)
The heel is not too low and certainly not too high and that's great for me because I can't walk on too high heels for long because of back and other health issues..

And they look AWESOME!! :-D

My new favourite boots

These are absolutely as great as I expected. They are stunning, very comfortable, and easy to walk in. They are also very quick to put on once you get used to using a button hook.

I only have two small issues with these shoes. The leather soles are impractical for me, as I live in a fairly wet area with many gravel roads. I will definety be replacing the soles with rubber soles to make them better suited for my environment.

My other issue is that my feet start sliding into the open space in the toe of the shoe when I'm wearing thin socks or stockings, blistering my toes when I walk longer distances.

Otherwise these are everything I could wish for, and I reccomend them. I will definetly be buying from American Duchess again.

Finally a reason to go outside

I've been eyeing up these boots for months and finally decided to treat myself. I arranged to have lunch with a friend and, after a number of things going wrong, I was about to cancel when the boots stopped me. I HAD to show my friend the boots, so I suppressed the social anxiety and got my boots on. Had a wonderful time, very comfy feet despite me not actually wearing shoes for about 3 years. Literally would still be housebound without these boots.

Glorious footwear

These boots are my best purchase this year so far. The construction is impeccable and the fit is amazing. I chose a half-size up than what I normally wear as I wanted to wear thicker socks and that was the perfect choice. I can absolutely wear them with thin socks as well, so I would suggest going up half a size if you have very arched feet that are a little wider below the toes. As with all American Duchess footwear, these boots are worth every single penny. I definitely see myself wearing these every day for spring and fall - they are a delightful addition to any history-bounding wardrobe.

Absolutely Incredible

I was so nervous ordering these, even after reading reviews that they run true to size, because that's happened to me sooo many times where reviews or the company says 'true to size' and I find that they're not--or maybe my foot is just weird?

This disproves the latter. The length of my foot from back of heel to tip of longest toe is EXACTLY 24.5 cm (maybe 1-2 millimeters shy) which is supposedly a US 8.5 and yet every time I buy shoes I always have to go up to a 9--BUT NOT THESE! They are actually true 8.5s in the sense that my 8.5 foot fits in them WITH ROOM FOR SOCKS. WITH ROOM FOR MY TOES! I was so flabbergasted when I tried them on at home I ended up just wearing them in my living room for a half an hour staring at them in sheer awe and wonder.

The best part? MAD COMFY. I can FEEL the GROUND underneath my feet--you know how most shoes make you feel like you're walking on a small platform on the ground? No, I can feel uneven ground, cracks, rocks, and it's AMAZING. The leather soles do an amazing job at protecting your feet while also moving with them, it is literally like nothing I have ever experienced before.

I was also worried my arches would mean me having to move some buttons over because they are pretty high but that was not the case! The elastic the buttons are sewn onto is genius because they move and give as your foot flexes and I seriously cannot sing the praises of these shoes enough. 10000/10!!!! And no break-in period required!

Renoir review

I love these boots!!! Cannot say enough good things about them. I've worn them for 4-5 hours of standing plus a 3-mile walk and experienced no foot fatigue. I have large calves and can't wear the Manhattan or Tavistock boots, even with the buttons moved, yet the Renoirs fit fine as-is. I think the dip in the back of the shaft must provide the extra room but for whatever the reason I'm grateful! These boots are ridiculously cute, comfortable and zafig-friendly. Highly recommend.

Renoir review

Really like these shoes; the buttonhook is definitely neccesary. I normally order a 6.5, but I ordered a 7. Don't particularly think that was the right choice, there's enough room that the 6.5 probably would have fit. However, I do like that if I want to put on thick socks I could, and the thing is they are still very comfortable even if they are roomy. The reason they are 4 stars instead of 5: I moved all the buttons on the shoe, and the scallops just do not want to lay flat, they have a bit of a ripple. In fact, looking at other people's pictures of their boots in the same style, it seems pretty common. I just don't think they look as good on with the buttons tightened, as in the picture, but the shoes would definitely be too loose if they weren't moved.

Renoir review

I have a really hard time finding comfortable shoes - my feet are "weird." They are wide at the toes and narrow at the heels, and I have a VERY high arch. I bought these boots and intended to break them in before a weekend-long reenacting event by wearing them around the house for an hour or two a day in the two weeks leading up to the event. Unfortunately, I wore them once for about an hour and then forgot I was supposed to be breaking them in. Then I did wear them all weekend for the event: 9 1/2 hours on Saturday, 7 hours on Sunday. My step tracker clocked me at about 11,000 steps on Saturday and over 9,000 on Sunday, and when I wasn't walking I was probably standing. The verdict: my toes were a tiny bit sore, but my feet and legs were totally fine. I can't even say that about most of my modern shoes; definitely nothing with any kind of heel. I LOVE these. Also, they are just beautiful. The design and workmanship are simply perfect. The buttons are...well, they take a little getting used to. More accurately, the button-hook, which is an absolute necessity, takes getting used to. With a little practice it's not bad - by the third time I put them on, I was pretty quick. I do have to agree with an earlier commenter, though, who noted that the shank loop on some of the buttons are loose - one of mine just slid right off the elastic. It was fairly easy to put back on, but I was lucky not to lose it.

Renoir review

These are the cutest boots! They are comfortable and sturdy enough for all-day wear! My only problem is the buttons. Some of the shanks have big enough gaps between the button for them to easily slip off the thread when buttoning. This might have been remedied since I bought mine. Otherwise, these are perfect!

Renoir review

I bought these to replace my old fake leather "Victorian-inspired" boots that had started peeling and falling apart. I ordered them in the middle of October and once I received the shipment notification and tracking, I received the boots only a few days later. They feel very sturdy and well-made and, even though I've only walked around the house in them so far, they feel like they will be easy and comfortable to wear for long periods. They also have that nice real-leather smell that reminds me of horses and old libraries. I tend to be able to wear either 7 or 7.5, so I bought size 7.5. I'm glad I got the half size up because they fit a little snug, though not uncomfortably so. The buttons are a little tricky to do up the first time, even with the button hook, but I think with some practice it will become easier. I'm lucky in that the places the buttons are set feel close to a perfect fit for me, so I will not be moving any of the buttons, but it looks like it would be easy to do, if one were so inclined. The boots also came with a spare set of heel caps and two extra buttons. I'm excited to wear these with my 1880s dress, but I also want to find a way to incorporate them into a modern outfit so that I can break them in a bit and practice the buttons.
