American retail Duchess Bernadettes sz 8.5

Product Name: American retail Duchess Bernadettes sz 8.5
These are the now out of stock blue/black Bernadettes from American Duchess. I am the first owner, bought new from the American Duchess website, I tried to wear them multiple times to break them in but they're just too small. If you normally wear a size 8.5 in AD shoes these will be too small, they fit more like size 8s. I'm exactly an 8.5 US/24.5cm, and most of my other American Duchess shoes are all 8.5s and fit me perfectly, but in other shoe brands I usually have to size up to a 9, so hopefully that gives you an idea of the fit of these. retail No marks or visible wear on the shoes other than light wear on the soles. They have been oiled with mink oil to help protect the leather.
