Marilyn Vintage Pumps (Oxblood)

I'm an American Duchess Convert

This company was recommended to me by a friend that works in theatre, costume and vintage dress reconstruction. I take his opinion seriously so I expected that AD would be pretty good, but I had no idea they were going to be so comfortable. It is refreshing to find shoes that are beautiful but also stable/wider across the bridge. These shoes make me feel sexy but also safe to dance in and go up and down steps with confidence. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a strong mature shoe that is both serious and beautiful.

Amazing fit

I love these shoes so much, perfect fit and amazing quality

Beautiful, classic shoes

These are gorgeous. The quality is evident, and the line of the show is just as elegant as shown. I had to add arch supports to mine (I splurged for nice ones- arch “cookies” or wedges will fit up against the wall of the shoe for a built-in and natural feel) and now that I have them, the shoes are incredibly comfortable and very walkable. Also, I just walked across a lawn in them (something I was not planning to ever do in these shoes!) and because the heel is so nice and wide, the shoes didn’t sink into the grass at all, and came out on the other side still perfectly clean. The vintage look perfectly accentuates some of my more vintage leaning outfits, while being subtle enough to not look out of place dressing up a nice pair of jeans. I love the red, it sits just on the edge between shades so it can appear to match both true reds and coppery brown or orange tones in an outfit. Super lovely, exactly what I hoped for. Lives up to the reputation for comfort and quality so far, and I’m optimistic that they’ll continue to do so for decades to come.
