I don't have any physical disabilities, but the fact that you have them available in 13US just makes my day! I can never find high quality feminine shoes in my size. Yay!
Accessibility helps everyone!!! Hope you find the perfect shoes! ❤❤
@@amandadeloff4278 I'm so close with an EU 47 which I think is 14.5 inn US Women's. I wish I could be a heels lesbian!
I "only" need US 12, but have still mostly used men's shoes for about a decade. It will be interesting to discover if some models will have room for my potato-like big toes - it would be nice to have one good pair of black shoes and another pair brown that I could wear from weddings to wakes.
I wear an 11, usually an 11 wide, so it's a crap shoot whether my size is available or not. I also have weird duck feet where the front of my foot spreads out a lot but I have narrow heels, which makes it hard to find a good fit. For tennis shoes I've given up and have just been getting men's, and that's been working fine, but I have very little luck finding "pretty" shoes. I am in desperate need of some dress shoes (my last pair, some flats that are well over a decade old and have seen a lot of use, are crumbling) so I'm strongly considering ordering these. (Even with the discount they're still a little pricey for me, but quality and longevity are worth considering. Plus I love Jessica.)
I wear a 12 and I have to get custom or men’s shoes. This is awesome!
the fact we bonded the first time we met over comfy shoes this is so exciting congratulations!! 😭💙
Thank you 🥺
Havent finished the vid yet but I went to the site while viewing- half the shoes are called "Jessie" and the other half are called "Claud"?? That is SO cute???? ❤
ikr!!!
I saw American Duchess a few years ago from Bernadette Banner.
I have coveted all the shoes.
I, too, have EDS, and I once dislocated my ankle stepping off the sidewalk. It really made me feel better about myself when I had the epiphany that I am NOT my body, I am just IN my body. ❤️
Oh gosh yes! That used to happen to me! But I sprained my ankles so much that they're essentially elastic. Upside, they don't sprain anymore. Downsides, the ligaments have gone to pot *sigh*. Just EDS things I suppose (no less annoying).
"Im not my body, Im just in it." Is a sentiment I can't linger on without getting teary. Its like a stinging balm over too many old wounds.
We got EDS too! Yeah we were listening to her talk and just kind of nodding lol, our ankles are so hypermobile
Another person with EDS here! I like to think of myself and my body as a team. Even if its best is not very good, I know it does its best and I try to remember that. Still sucks though. Also, once I walked on a broken leg for three weeks because I thought it was just my ankle dislocating all the time. Whoops! 😅
Shitty ankle EDS gang make some noise!
The worst part of it is when I sprain one/both of my ankles while running *very short* distance to catch a bus or a tram, cause then for sure I'm not only not getting said bus, but also will have trouble walking for an undisclosed length of time - maybe it'll pass in 5 minutes or maybe I'll still be floppy and aching next day x.x
It's so common that I kinda barely notice it? I've had people gravely concerned about me when I f*cked up my ankle while walking with them and each time I have to spend hours convincing them that "No, it's okay, I don't need ER, that's just my legs, they just do that, it'll pass", because if I was going to the ER each time one of my joints was acting up, I'd have to live there.
But the plus side is that I can freak the living shit out of people with how bendable and flexible I can be. I could play in Exorcist remake, no CGI or SFX needed XD
Completely regardless of all the innovative inclusive features, these shoes are objectively gorgeous. Functional fashion can often be lacking in the visual appeal but you’ve outdone yourself with these masterpieces
As an occupational therapist we advice People with foot drop to go to a shoemaker and ask them to make a hardplastic sole on the front of this foot. It´s life changing.
SO HAPPY for a dressy flat with a strap!!! I like that because it helps keep them on my feet, all other flats the back of my heel immediately pops out
Yes! This!
OK I went thru so many emotions watching this video. I've been eyeing American Duchess shoes for yrs but as a fellow drop foot girlie with wide feet I knew they wouldn't work for me. I'm not sure these will either but I might have to give the Claude a try bc its just gorgeous. Also round of applause for the accessibility of the quick release buckles. It's such a small things but it really matters to those of us who need it.
If I wore heels, or "pretty shoes" of any type, I would *absolutely* wear the Jessie. They're stunning!! (That wine colour is perfection!)
I'm so very pleased to see a disabled creator get this collab! Finally! So excited to watch this video and find out what you ended up making and how they might be accessible to people like us. :)
Omg. Thank you for making the strap quick release and easily done up in the middle of the foot! I find it so difficult doing up some straps because my legs cannot bend the way typical shoe makers think. These shoes are gorgeous and look so practical! Would love to see The Jessie in that pale blue one day!
I do love the little hook instead of a functional buckle. I've got a pair with that feature and you can still use the buckle for sizing but you only have to do that once, then it's the much easier hook closure every time after that.
@@Draggonny Yes! It means I don't need help doing my buckle up all the time.
I've never seen the quick release buckles before but I imagine they would help with my hand dexterity issues and range of movement issues due to arthritic hip.
if I understood her correctly, the middle foot strap was part of a sample and they changed it to buckle at the side
@@parkermae Yeah, but because the strap is removable, you can technically place the buckle in any position you want.
The spiderweb ribbon design in the first set of prototype shoes really looked quite lovely!
As a queer person working with a shoe company I would ask that you please advocate for trans women who do not have any options for buying sensible feminine shoes in large sizes. I have also met cis women with the same size as me (eu47) so as always, accommodation for trans people will also help cis people more. The shoes available to the trans femme community are largely, poorly made platform stiletto boots targeted at drag queens. The whole community would love if this shoe company were able to make a few options in large enough sizes. The trans femme community and our cisters with large feet are left to wear gender neutral boots and sneakers. I know how much being a "heels lesbian" matters to you, please use your platform to help enable us to join you.
This would be lovely and amazing 💖💖💖 🥿
this! 🙌
yes !!!
I didn't know about that but it makes so much sense! Cute shoes for bigger feet🎉
So much this ❤ also, cute shoes without a heel because I'm already pretty tall!
I know Jessica is hypermobile, but her position at the :32 mark surprised me! Congratulations on the shoe line!
Ugh how dare you??? I got married earlier this year and these would have PERFECT.
As someone with slightly wide feet whose ankles just flip occasionally while walking, and who loves feminine details and natural materials, these look amazing
I pre ordered a pair of the Clauds as soon as I saw your post on instagram - I adore American Duchess and I’m *so excited* for when they arrive
I love that Claudia did the marketing photos! I just grabbed the Jessies in pink!
American dutchess has all my favorite people advertising them. I cant escape, its only a matter of time before i give in and buy all the shoes!
We need companies to offer for people to buy single shoes. Some running shoe companies already do it because a running blade doesn’t get a shoe put on it. But I really don’t get why it’s not all shoes that get offered as singles.
The quick release buckle is such a game changer, my goodness. Love these.
Holy shamolies! I love that quick release strap. I didn't even know that was a thing!
I LOVE that even the flats have a strap. I too slip out of shoes and am excited about these! So cute.
5:25 omg I want them. these would be amazing for maybe a feminine goth look with the sides looking like spiderwebs
I snorted out loud at the Cats and Dogs screenshot! (My Sims mostly wear custom content but those flats do make an appearance now and then.) This is very exciting project and the shoes are gorgeous!
So random thing with me, I found your videos because of the sims! Lol. A video was talking about disability representation and custom content and had mentioned your channel, and it wasn't the EnglishSimmer either!
🤩The moment we all have been waiting for, vintage shoes the final frontier❤ No wait we haven't dealt the diamonds👑
Disability has made pretty shoes almost impossible to find. I am so glad these are well made with us in mind. I especially like the buckles, as I also usually need help with regular ones.
Ooooh finally! I saw them on the AD website and was wondering when the video was going to come out!
They made me regret that I‘m a historical guy and not a vintage guy, they look so lovely!!!
How cool! I'm not even much of a shoe person but the shoes are lovely. Sadly, I need something with more arch support, but I have "duck feet" (wide at the toes, skinny heel) and I can very much relate to shoes not staying on without a strap! So that's really cool that you were able to include so many features that I'm sure will be helpful for a lot of people.
I have so so narrow and kinda long feet and a lot of times shoes just make me sad because I never find pretty ones that fit me. I am a ballroom dancer and I have literally been told there aren't any dance shoes made for narrow feet. I would be incredibly happy if some brands would incorporate a line of narrow shoes. I dream of owning something like those pretty vintage shoes. Love your innovative of just making shoes that fit!
Salvatore Ferragamo has narrow shoes, but obviously they are very expensive. I frequently find them on Thredup though (I wear a US size 10- not the largest but definitely above average).
I have hallux rigidis; can only wear ugly runners. So impressed with your problem solving and passion. Can't do a toe bend, but hoping you create a pretty shoe that may work
Jessica…. 😭😭😭 I have US size 13 feet and I’ve never been able to buy American Duchess’ 20th century shoes because they never come in large sizes (some of the older styles that are gender neutral come in larger sizes, but that’s not my style)…. BUT YOUR GORGEOUS SHOES COME IN MY SIZE!!!!! 😭😭😭😭 I have DREAMED about getting shoes from American Duchess for YEARS now. This might finally be my chance 🥹🥹 Thank you thank you thank you for helping to design a shoe that’s accessible not just for differently-abled people, but also differently-shaped/sized folks too!!! 🥹❤️❤️❤️
congratulations Jessica! the shoes are absolutely gorgeous, I can't wait to get my feet in them soon! The pictures on your Instagram got me so excited because the shoes look so comfortable and the size range is incredibly inclusive so yay! I hope it sells well and more colours become available eventually.
17:12 adorable golf cart jessie and claud
I have Cerebral Palsy, and I have drop foot too!! Glad to see I'm not alone
I recently bought two pairs of American Duchess shoes. A pair of heels and a pair of flats. I love wearing them. The heels are a 1940s style that goes great with jeans. The flats are just lovely. The sizing was a little tricky but I got it in the end. When I saw the email that they had collaborated with Jess I was so excited.
Thank you so much for including a wide! I am going to cry. Nobody makes wides, and I have a 7eee so I can't even stretch a pair of shoes to fit! This is so cool!
Also they're beautiful!
It's great that they do wide fit, I just wish that they did narrow fit too!
I think the only place that does adult shoes with actual width fittings is Clarks and even they have a very limited selection in my size (and most of those don't work for me for other reasons).
1:20 Something (everything) about this button-down/non-dangly pearls/voluminous hair combo is giving "power walked right out of a vintage office film reel" and it's so satisfying. Your dresses are gorgeous but this look hit me with some crazy nostalgia.
Ok, maybe I'm just in a Mood™, but every single outfit is hitting so good this video 😂💕
I didn't expect to love both shoes SO MUCH! I hope you get plenty of sales, I know I would love to have both in multiple colors, and they're priced very reasonably for what they are, but I can't justify it with my budget and lack of actual need for new shoes. My mom's been looking for new shoes, has a bigger budget than I, and will be very excited to see the Wides, however 👀
The biggest comfort issue I've had with AD has been the lack of cushioning in their shoes which I do get since it's not accurate to the eras they cover and my feet are too wide to fit any sort of padding inside but I do wish there were a way to get that. Glad so many other accessibility and comfort issues were addressed with these, they sound wonderful!
You can get a larger size then add a cushion. ❤
@@Meskarune I'm not sure that would work for me; I already buy two sizes (US) large in womens' shoes to account for how wide my feet are, one size up in mens', not sure I can really keep going up without my feet falling out the top/slipping down into the toe.
As someone with UK size 9 feet, thank you so much for making it so that I could grab a pair of these shoes if I wanted to!
My left foot is semi-paralyzed from nerve damage so I completely understand FLOPPY FOOT!!! My toes just don’t have enough sensation or tactile control to keep shoes on my foot so this is amazing! I’m happy to know I’m not the only one with this problem but sad other people go through it too. 😅
Congratulation! Such beautiful shoes Jessica.
I’m so pleased you get to work with a sponsor that’s so perfect for your channel, Jessica! Your passion for historical fashion really shines and I’m so happy for you! I can’t wait to see where you go next.
Congratulations Jessica!!! What a gorgeous collection/collaboration! 👠✨👏😍
As a shoe girlie, this is right up my street!!! 😜 Pre-ordered two Jessies (brown & wine) and thank you for thinking of us wide-footed ladies, can't wait!!! 👠🥰
So happy you got to do this! The shoes are stunning and so well thought out. Sadly not able to purchase but will support with a like and comment :)
Something with a higher Arch would be perfect for me because I have high arches to begin with means trying to find a shoe that fits my Arch is like trying to win the lottery next to Impossible.
love that buckle. Is anyone surprised that they have bows . So happy for you .
I absolutely love the design of both shoes! I especially like the look of the Jessie. My fiancé and are planning a 1920s themed wedding. I think the Jessie will be prefer for the look I am going for!
I was shook at the idea of pink heels. My other two pairs are neutral colors. I justified the pre-order by throwing out an old pair of shoes I haven't worn in over a year. What an impulse purchase and a surprise for me later on in the year. lol
My issuesthat keep me ffrom American Duckess are two fold. The first is just too many experiences of despite all the measurements being accurate a shoe still not fitting or just being ridiculously uncomfortable once I get to try it on. This is why I gave up on online shopping for shoes all together. I need to be able to try something on and walk aroundna bit first. My second issue is they are so nice it makes me anxious. Between health issues and klutziness, my best efforts and intentions dont protect my things from abuse, ruin, and neglect. My phone can best account for this. So many screen protectors shatters. Things brand new, first wear and I manage to mark/scrape/puncture them. And with something like genuine leather I know it needs proper care and I dont trust myself to have the spoons to do it. Ive gone through bad stretches that lasted months and I dont really have a support system that can step up for anything more then making sure I have the bare necessities. I had a genuine leather purse I was able to buy to support a smaller maker. I loved it and cared for it and still managed to break the closure within a year. 3 years after that we had one of the wettess years on record and one of the worse for my health. Because I wasnt able to keep on top of things I didnt realize my closet which had always been dry had developed a mold/mildew issue due to the excessive humidity at that time. The purse was ruined and I felt horrible over it. Still do. So now alot of things trigger that feeling of "its too nice for me"/"its not safe with me."
Such pretty shoes! So happy for you. 🎀💖🎀
My feet aren't disabled, they're just awkward! I have very narrow feet, so I understand the shoes falling off phenomenon - narrow fit shoes just don't exist for some reason, even school shoes I used to find had just two options in my width fitting.
I'm also a UK 5.5, which usually means sizing up so the shoes end up too big in both width and length. Lace-ups I can usually get tight enough to at least stay on my foot, but slip-ons are a no go.
I can't wear heels either, because they cause a lot of pain in the bone at the base of my big toes and sometimes my knees as well. Also, most heels are either slip-ons or sandals, so there's too great a risk of injury from my foot slipping in the shoe.
I have literally one pair of heels that I can wear very, very occasionally for a short period of time with minimal walking involved. Even your "flat" design has too much of a heel for me unfortunately!
Overall, I don't think I've ever had a pair of shoes that have actually fitted me properly and I dread having to buy new shoes because it takes a lot of effort to find any that vaguely fit and are relatively comfortable. I usually end up just settling for something that's ok or giving up entirely.
I actually bought myself the Cats and Dogs expansion as a Christmas present (it was on sale), so I'm going to look for those cat shoes. I might put one of my Sims in them.
I genuinely feel your pain - super narrow feet between sizes and EDS just makes shoe searching such a challenge! Basically they need to have laces or at least five straps so my feet don't fall out. I'd love to try the Claude style though 😍
@@ashbunny2645 Yeah, I imagine having EDS makes it even more challenging! I don't understand why adult shoes don't come in proper width fittings and with straps.
Even kid's shoes I used to have an issue with, because there wasn't enough choice for my size. For my school shoes, I usually ended up with really clompy lace-ups with a massive square heel that were really heavy - I actually think that's part of why I have knee issues now.
The Claude's look lovely, but unfortunately I'd need one with a smaller heel. I also can't buy that sort of shoe online, because they often don't fit my feet properly and are sometimes quite uncomfortable.
I didn't think I'd find this video that interesting, but those straps! 😍 Time to save up for my next pair of American Duchess shoes!
I love a spanish heel! As a wide foot girly, I love all the choices in a wide size. Beautiful collection!
Oh my lord. I'm butch, but those brown leather ones make me want to wear heels!!
Oh how marvellous a shoe collection by Jessica and she's back on Cameo 🥰
I went and clicked and this is the first time I've seen dress shoes I have a hope of wearing, as I can't really wear any heel, but, the 0.5 inch heel on the vintage flats I should be able to wear! And the quick-release buckles make me -so- happy, no more struggling with buckles!
I’m not a big shoe person but these are gorgeous!! The dusty blue is such a beautiful color. Thank you for making wide versions, I have such a hard time finding shoes that fit.
The shoes look absolutely lovely. The care and thought that has been put in them shines through ❤
My lovely wife just ordered me the Jessicas in burgundy suede 🥰 Fabulous with EDS friendly shoes. Yes I have Frankenstein orthopaedic shoes and boots too but if you LOVE beautiful shoes they cause pain of a different sort. I am looking forward to rocking the Jessicas this fall❤️❤️❤️They are so elegant and beautiful 😍
I want them all, and I hope they keep making them for a good while! I'd honestly forgotten that I'd sworn off "fancy" shoes mostly because they either fell off my feet, or had a buckle that I had to fight with.
Omg I want these shoes so bad! They definitely address issues I have with shoes, especially ladies' dress shoes. And even for those of us who have good dexterity, those little buckles suck so much so believe me when I say that I love that they are accessible (so much) but it's also just great universal design.
Fantastic job Jessica. I hope these sell really well! They certainly deserve to!
I love American Dutchess ...I somehow knew from thumbnail that it will be American Dutchess...
So proud of you ❤❤❤
I got Bernadette banners shoes from American duchess and they are the most gorgeous things I’ve ever seen, and very comfortable!
I already have four pairs of american duchess. My londoners got COVERED in mould and I as well as american duchess thought they were ruined but with their advice of dipping in vinegar water mix i managed to salvage them!! Their shoes and support are amazing. And now i want some Jessies!!!
I have messaged American Duchess before to know if they offered wide fits and they didnt before your collection.
Thank you so much from all of us with wide and/or perticular feets! We can now look fabulous with shoes that actually fit 😊
Gorgeous. Not a shoe person but my god these are beautiful
Oh my, they’re all so beautiful!
Claudia, your photos are STUNNING! Amazing work ❤
I love them! They look lovely and adorable.
I love the white "lacy" once with the bow, they are so cute😊
I'm so happy for you! And the collection is gorgeous! Wish I could afford them!
i am so sad this hasnt gotten more views yet! i loved this video, so fun to watch along
Congratulations! These are lovely!
Congratulations on the shoes!! Also I really love that your mother makes shoes. Never stop with the extra facts :)
Loved seeing the process. You put so much thought in the details. I hope you get your wish to offer these in more colors!
OH wowww... that wine suede Jessie shoe!!! 😍😍😍
Congratulations on the beautiful shoe line, Jessica! Both styles are so cute!
Fibro and wide flat feet here so I'm excited!
These shoes are GORGEOUS!!
Both of them are so beautiful 😍
🎉🎉 they are absolutely gorgeous!
Very cute! Not my style, as I’ve been into barefoot shoes as of late, but I can appreciate the work put into these! In another world where I want to dress up pretty, I’d for sure reach for these.
I like late 30's up until the early 50's 👞 shoes 👞. They look amazing 👏 🤩
The shoes are beautiful! ❤️
Oh my gods, these are amazing, Jessie! The wine Jessies are GORGEOUS, I'm dying.
They're beautiful! Thank you!
Wow ! The wine red suede ones are amazing !
I have hypermobility (getting eds testing in june!) and I've always loved American Duchess shoes but had no reference for how people like myself would do in them, and honestly just assumed I'd never be able to wear pretty shoes without injury. This makes me so happy ❤
Congratulations, these are beautiful!
These are ADORABLE!
I'm in love with these shoes. I'll have to save to by a pair and some how choose a favorite
i have many pairs of their shoes and love them! i was so excited to see ur line that i bought the white pumps Immediately!
Another great video. Most interesting content and substance. Brilliantly presented. 👍👍👍
SO EXCITED FOR THIS
Ive been wanting to purchase from american duchess for a while but i cant wait for your collection!!!!
Omg, I pretty much live in skechers out of necessity unless im wearing my Tuk's I've tricked out to support my arches, I'm so excited for this collab.
I've been waiting and searching for a nice pair of shoes to replace my old worn out skechers for many years now. Ordered the Claude, couldn't pass up with the price and it being so similar to what I've been looking for!
Ooh! I first heard about American Duchess through historical dress RUclips. Their shoes are SOOO lovely. So excited for you!
Love all of them!!!❤
Omg I need these! I have some amount of hypermobility which has given me ankle problems but I like pretty shoes, dammit!
Very nice, Jessica! I’ve been wearing nothing BUT rubber crocs for years because of mobility issues and the fact that they’re much easier to put on, but after seeing the shoes you’ve designed with American Duchess, I want to try them out.
