Description

Indulge in a piece of history with Flora Embroidered Boots, an exclusive reproduction of the intricate opera and evening boots popular in the late Victorian period. Expertly crafted with intricate botanical detailing, these stunning satin boots will take you back to an era of sophistication and finesse. Wear them with bustle and Belle Epoque attire from the 1870s to c. 1900, or with modern dress as a statement piece.

The Flora Boots are designed in collaboration with the Bata Shoe Museum. Every pair of shoes from the In Bloom collection benefits and supports The Bata Shoe Museum in their study, outreach, and conservation of historic footwear.

As a lace-up boot, Floras are very adjustable for a wide variety of ankle, calf, and instep measurements. The top of the Flora boots does not extend to the widest part of the calf muscle. Measurements scale a little based on size.

These measurements based on size 7.5:
Ankle range - 9 to 13 inches / 22.8 cm to 33 cm
Shaft height - 7.8 inch / 20 cm
Boot top range - 9.4 to 13.4 inches / 24 to 34 cm
Tongue width - 4.5 inch / 11.5 cm

Though the antiques were made in silk, our boots are made in a durable and cleanable polyester satin, the ideal choice for footwear built to last. Spritz your shoes with Angelus Water & Stain Repellent to keep them in good condition and looking swell.

Beautiful shoes, size up if you have wide feet

I bought these shoes to wear to my outdoor wedding in Ireland. I love the profile of these, and the embroidery is so beautiful! I can't wait to wear them. This was my first purchase from American Duchess.

My notes on fit: I have small, wide feet. Usually a women's 6 wide or 5.5 extra wide. I purchased my usual straight size, 6.5, in these but they felt really tight, especially the instep and sides. Exchanged for a size 7 (usually way too big for me in other footwear), and they fit just right. Definitely get a 1/2 size to a full size up if you have wider feet (maybe if you have regular width feet too, and just want it to fit more comfortably).

Absolutely gorgeous!

I was like a kid on Christmas opening these! Shipped really fast and arrived in perfect condition. The satin and embroidery are beautiful! Hands down the most beautiful shoes I own. They were a little tight to get on, but once they warmed up, they fit snugly but not too tight to be uncomfortable. They were pretty true to size, but I'd recommend ordering a half size up if you're wearing anything more than thin socks or tights with them.

Sumptuous and comfortable!

These are the most stunning boots I have ever seen, they are like a work of art!!!! They are also very comfortable, although I would suggest going a half size up!

Literally so beautiful I cried when opening.

I pre-ordered these boots months ago when I saw a TikTok about them, it was love at first sight and I'm so happy that I got these! The quality is absolutely stunning and the embroidery so perfect! They are a little tight to get on, so I reccomend ordering a size and a half to a size up from what you normally wear. But other than that, they are actually pretty comfortable amd easy to walk in.

They're GORGEOUS...

and very comfy. The pictures really don't do them justice. I'm usually a size 7.5-8 but the ball of my foot is wide and I broke my right foot last year so I've been going up half a size and they're perfect. Plenty of room in the toe box so nothing is getting squished or pinched. I hope they get another run in more colors! (Bright Red please!!)
