American Duchess Colette Black Leather Victorian Goth Edwardian Button Boots 9 For Sale

These are barely worn, there are a few scuffs and slight wear to the sole as shown in the pictures.
Beautiful American Duchess Colette Button Boots, an exceptionally detailed reproduction of authentic late Victorian and Edwardian women’s footwear. These are made from real calf leather with full leather lining and leather soles, and feature the wonderfully dramatic silhouette of an original turn-of-the-century button boot.
The tall scalloped uppers have intricate teardrop cutouts and four genuine button closures on each boot no modern zipper. The buttons can be repositioned to adjust the ankle and calf fit, just as on historical footwear, allowing for a surprisingly customized fit.
The shaped 2-inch Louis heel gives them an elegant period profile while remaining practical enough for extended wear. These are gorgeous with Victorian, Edwardian, Belle Époque, Titanic-era, 1890s, 1900s and 1910s clothing, and are also wonderful for historical reenactment, living history, theater costume, cosplay, Steampunk, Gothic, Goth, Lolita, Dark Academia, Downton Abbey-inspired outfits, Great War / WWI impressions, Victorian weddings, period photography, or simply worn as extraordinary statement boots.
These are not inexpensive costume shoes, they are beautifully constructed historical reproduction leather boots designed with details taken from genuine antique footwear.

Regular B width; buyers with wider feet or who plan to wear thicker stockings may prefer going up half a size.
