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!

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???? ❤

the fact we bonded the first time we met over comfy shoes this is so exciting congratulations!! 😭💙

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.

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. ❤️

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

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.

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!)

The spiderweb ribbon design in the first set of prototype shoes really looked quite lovely!

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!

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 know Jessica is hypermobile, but her position at the :32 mark surprised me! Congratulations on the shoe line!

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

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.

I love that Claudia did the marketing photos! I just grabbed the Jessies in pink!

The quick release buckle is such a game changer, my goodness. Love these.

5:25 omg I want them. these would be amazing for maybe a feminine goth look with the sides looking like spiderwebs

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.

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!!! 🥹❤️❤️❤️

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!

🤩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.

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!

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.

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.

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!!!

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

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!

I have Cerebral Palsy, and I have drop foot too!! Glad to see I'm not alone

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.

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 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.

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!

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!

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!

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

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."

Congratulation! Such beautiful shoes Jessica.

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. 😅

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

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!!! 👠🥰

My big question is, will my orthotics fit in 🤔 because I can't walk without them, to the point that I have indoor shoes.

Oh my lord. I'm butch, but those brown leather ones make me want to wear heels!!

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 :)

Such pretty shoes! So happy for you. 🎀💖🎀

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.

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!

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 love a spanish heel! As a wide foot girly, I love all the choices in a wide size. Beautiful collection!

My feet are equally screwed,, from strokes and breaks and rubbish ankles I'm exited about this

I got Bernadette banners shoes from American duchess and they are the most gorgeous things I’ve ever seen, and very comfortable!

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.

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 😊

Omg I need these! I have some amount of hypermobility which has given me ankle problems but I like pretty shoes, dammit!

Just FYI, those cat shoes from the sims exist! T.U.K. makes them in both cowhide and plastic/vegan leather - I didn't even know they were in the sims!

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.

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!!!

When you show all the flattie ones you show a bow at the end one of them has it and it's similar but not quite exactly like the shoe my mother had it had very low heels not that little of course a little closer to the 1930s type heal but but the top of the shoe looked a little bit like the one I just mentioned.

Oh how marvellous a shoe collection by Jessica and she's back on Cameo 🥰

The shoes look absolutely lovely. The care and thought that has been put in them shines through ❤

I love the white "lacy" once with the bow, they are so cute😊

Congratulations on the shoes!! Also I really love that your mother makes shoes. Never stop with the extra facts :)

Oh my, I love the easy lach I could even do that up with my poor hands.

Fibro and wide flat feet here so I'm excited!

OH wowww... that wine suede Jessie shoe!!! 😍😍😍

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 😍

Congratulations on the beautiful shoe line, Jessica! Both styles are so cute!

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!

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 have many pairs of their shoes and love them! i was so excited to see ur line that i bought the white pumps Immediately!

Gorgeous. Not a shoe person but my god these are beautiful

I like late 30's up until the early 50's 👞 shoes 👞. They look amazing 👏 🤩

I'm in love with these shoes. I'll have to save to by a pair and some how choose a favorite

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.

Ive been wanting to purchase from american duchess for a while but i cant wait for your collection!!!!

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 ❤

higher toebox options are amazing cause hammertoes that dislocate are a pain in the ass to buy shoes for. i end up mostly in combat boots

Oh my gods, these are amazing, Jessie! The wine Jessies are GORGEOUS, I'm dying.

Awesome! gorgeous, and those are just the shoes, no but this is great. This Collab is fantastic and I'm glad that there's now a more accessible option out there. I would eventually love a pair of Jessie's but also The Claude's are great too 💞

Love the shoes Jessica

Actually you could leave the web looking thing across the side and use a clip closer which I saw on my mother's shoe in the sense that the clip reminds me in the way it comes down like that of a tie clip but not exactly there's a little type of button like you have on snaps that goes through a hole at the top and all you do is have to press it if you want to get it open you would pull on the bow and it would come up. So there's no tying up it's pretty much a strap that looks like you've tied it up but it's not.

This is wonderful! My DiL has EDS so I'm shipping her this video immediately. Congratulations on your collaboration!

I love American Dutchess ...I somehow knew from thumbnail that it will be American Dutchess... So proud of you ❤❤❤

The shoes are beautiful! ❤️

Claudia, your photos are STUNNING! Amazing work ❤

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 also have different sized feet (40 and 41) and with my dance shoes I typically use a toe pad on the smaller foot, I think that could also work well with slip-on heels

OMGoodness Gracious! This is amazing! I was already looking for boots there... but, now thanks to you, I can order a pair of each of these for my wedding next fall and they'll be perfect! I'm oh so glad that I found your videos again 😊

I’ve never been so excited about dress shoes before! I am absolutely going to buy at least one set for my new job once I have funds. ❤🎉

This has made my day! Trying to find shoes for my wonky foot and that will accommodate a wide foot is wonderful! Not everyone can fuss with a buckle ( I cannot) thank you for this collaboration

Another great video. Most interesting content and substance. Brilliantly presented. 👍👍👍

Thank you! My feet are a constant issue for me. I had to give up on cute shoes entirely and, no joke, I wear hiking shoes from Solomon with EVERYTHING. They are the only shoes have found that don't cause my metatarsal bones in my feet to dislocate. 'Yes, please!' to shoes that grip my feet and are CUTE

This is so cool. I love the Jessie's but my darling reminded me I can't walk in heels. I roll my ankles so easily. Connective tissue disorder making them floppy lol. They're both so cute
