This is a custom historical shoe designed by Bbeauty Designs and you won't find it anywhere else! This shoe has an elongated more oval shaped toe rather than the typical shoe flat you find for American Girl which is short and rounded. It is made of a matte leatherette (faux leather) and is ankle level with a large open area in front and then very tiny lacing that goes through loops almost like a ghillie to lace up and tie with a bow. Perfect for renaissance and medieval looks (under dresses and with tunics and such) as well as Irish or Scottish Ghillies. Also makes a fabulous witches shoe.
Inspiration was taken from historically accurate shoes/boots. Boots do have a hard plastic sole. It is recommended that this shoe is worn with a sock or a tight as it is black and to prevent any instances of dye transfer for vinyl dolls.
Fit:
- American Girl modern and earlier PC wide feet
- Gotz Happy Kidz 19" Dolls
- Maplea 18" Dolls
- Madame Alexander 18" Dolls
- Tonner Vintage My Imagination Dolls
- Our Generation Dolls

Reviews
I find these shoes useful for diverse outfits. They work well with a witch costume; I actually like them better than the boots American Girl made for this costume. They are appropriate for medieval/renaissance outfits as well as steampunk outfits. They fit well even with socks. I was happy that they also fit my Canadian Maplelea dolls even though they have tad longer feet than the American Girl dolls. Again, the quality is awesome, very nice leatherette, sole, and closure with shoelaces! 👍
I've order this pair twice. First time, I was like the best cottagecore/dark academia look for my mini me. Then I was gifted an Elphaba doll and all I could see was this pair of shoes on her. So I'm slowly working on that outfit and once it's completed I will share a picture. I have had an amazing experience ordering from bbeautydolls. She takes care of me. Everything is wonderfully made.
These shoes are made beautifully and look terrific on the doll - just perfect for the time period. The style is so unique! I love doing business with this seller. She communicates so well and ships quickly. GREAT customer service!!!
These are very well made, high quality and fit the american girl dolls perfectly even with socks on.
They pair well with the Irish 1700s out-lander doll outfits.
