Kensington 18th Century Leather Shoes (Black)

Love them!

The shoes are beautiful! I recommend ordering a half size larger than your normal shoe, though.

Love them!

I purchased these Kensington’s to replace a pair of Garrick’s that I purchased about 6 years ago and absolutely walked into the ground 🤣. I’m a devoted AD customer and fan because I use their shoes in the manner that they would have been used in the period they represent. As a historian and historical reenactor, I spend loads of time on my feet, over all sorts of terrain. These shoes seem to run a bit big. I generally wear a 12 in many AD styles (Mae, Keckley, Tango Boots, Londoners, etc)and these felt on the roomy side. I bought a 12 but could have probably squeezed into an 11. However, I wear thick stockings in the winter and wanted to accommodate for that. I opted to go a bit big and put in an insole (this was only to modify for size, not because they are uncomfortable.) I’ve spent hours on my feet and walking in these and I am, as always, very pleased.

Brilliant shoes

I have been eying these shoes for years and was finally able to purchase a pair, they are super comfortable and the buckle isn't too hard to install overall shipping was fast considering that they were being shipped to Australia.
