Default Botkier shoe sizing...
I want to order the cheetah print Jeanne pump... Do they run small?

Don't know about pumps, but I have the Estelle boots. I wear a size 7 and 37.5 was a perfect fit! So for me they run TTS (Italian).

Bummer... I was hoping they ran small. The smallest size available is a 36 and I'm usually a 5.5...

I'm nutty in the head. I ordered them anyways along with the Isis in black/gold. Hopefully at least one pair fits...

5-9 business days won't be coming soon enough... cannot wait to have a couple of matching "sets" with my bags!

Good luck - I hope they fit. I really love Botkier shoes - they are so well made and fit wonderfully.

So how did the sizes fit? Are they regular sizes, or run small? I'm also contemplating Botkier shoes, but I normally avoid buying shoes online because I prefer trying them on to ensure comforts and all.

Oh cool! How is the comfort level of the shoes? I love loeffler randall shoes because they are high enough but still very comfortable. I've been looking into branching out and trying another brand. Glad to hear Botkier is good too.

Tejava - I find they run true to size. I am a size 7 and wear 37.5.

KoobaBagLover - the Estelle boots I bought in Chocolate Snake and Rose Metal fit wonderfully! They came with extra heel tips too. Love that!

Here's a pic of the snake boots with my HH Corcovado.

Wow I really like those boots! Pumps have got to be my favorite though, do they use this same foot "structure" (not sure if that makes sense) for pumps too? Kind of like the Ava style from Frye, they had a ankle, bootie and boots.

I think you're going to have to ask Gimmethebag. She bought some pumps so she's better to comment. Good luck and I hope you find a style you love!

I'm a 5.5 in some brands (Nine West, MBMJ, Mui Mui), 5 in Havianas and Uggs, and 6 in Tory Burch and Steven -Steve Madden.

The 36 for Botkier is pretty darn close to perfect for me, exception being that the back on my Jeanne pumps is a bit loose on my smaller foot, nothing that a Foot Petal back pad won't fix.

As for comfort, I will tell you that you can definitely tell that the platform footbed is padded! I haven't worn them out yet due to weather but I absolutely love them and cannot wait to rock them with some very short skirts and dresses!

The quality definitely exceeded what I paid, $143 per pair (on sale at Amazon). I kind of want to order every pair left in my size but I know my SO will kill me. So maybe just a pair of flat sandals next month...

This was a helpful thread for me so thank you everyone
I bought the Estelle boots in black and Zoe pumps in "liquid Metal" Both very well made and comfortable. The boots fit perfectly but the pumps were a bit loose (I have very narrow feet) but a half inner sole fixed the problem. I never knew Botkier shoes were this good. I bought them off Revolve on sale.. I needed boots since forever.. and these are perfect.

I am size 6 and the boots in my size fit perfectly.. the pumps are a bit loose though.. I slip out. half inner sole fixed the problem. I have narrow feet though so I always have this problem. I don't have access to my camera these days azureartist so no pics
