I just received the land boots, SA said the color is Caramel, it looks a bit like etain? Not sure, but I love the color, the leather is not smooth.

Finally, I'm officially in this club. I waited nearly 2 yrs for this jumping boots (so much longer than for a birkin, lol), but totally worth the wait.. Thought I share a modeling picture.

For those who are fortunate enough to own a pair of the jumping boots, how does the fit correspond to other shoe brands? Is the fit closer to French, Italian or US?

For example, CL and Chanel fit smaller than Manolo and Gucci, so would a 39 in the Jumping boots fit more like a Manolo or run small like a CL? Do the boots run larger than the shoes?

You look fabulous, congratulations!
I know they were worth the wait. I skipped good boots last year in hopes of finding the Jumping boots, so hoping I can find a pair this year!

my experience with the jumping boots is best to try them on. the ones in swift were true to french sizing for me. so i could wear the same size as my Chanel and CL sizes. but in box, i had to go a size up because my calves wouldn't fit! hth. :smile1:

I wear a 38 in Choo, and 7.5 US and 38 (mostly) in Chanel and these boots (and I have SEVERAL pairs from different years) run true to size, IMO . I take a 37.5, 7.5 in the Hermes Kelly Jumping boots. These boots are all handmade still. But the thing is the calf width. They are fairly narrow so in that way it is good to try them on. Each year Herems does different colors LE along with the standard black. One year they did Etoupe Swift, another year they Rouge H Box (sold out instantly and totally FAB!, my all time FAV) also Moka, Ebene (hard to tell apart but the Moka are more casual) and this year I heard Etain is the LE color. These boots are hard to get on and off but once on they are so comfortable and mold to your foot over time. I understand a boot jack is shelpful.They are a wonderful investment IMO. Hermes had an Asian cut Kelly Jumping boot which is a little shorter in height.

Thanks for the info! I run the gamut from a 39 to a 41 so I always have to try
things on. Generally 39-40 in Manolo and 41 in Chanel and CL, although I can do a 40 in those - depends on the shoe. 9-9.5 US and 10 in running shoes because I like some room when running!

Interesting about the Asian cut, but definitely would NOT work for me because I am 6 ft tall. I've heard the battle stories about women wrangling with the boot shaft, trying to get them over the calf, so that is a fear in the back of my head. I've measured my calf with jeans on and I believe I'm good, but I'll have to see. DEFINITELY a great motivator to stay in shape!

I saw some good looking Chloe boots at BG, but would rather hold out for the
H Jumping boots, so wish me luck!:smile1:

I think they will fit you and look forward to seeing you find a pair. If you ever ever find the rouge H in BOX, go for it. They are not making the boots in box so much anymore and the newest have been in swift and takelact (sp) If you take care of these boots they will last FOREVER! Yes costly but classic and so Hermes. Fingers Crossed. They do have them on Hermes.com in the biggers sizes and they are returnable online so that may be a good option for you to try them.

I love Rouge H anything, but these are extra amazing and TDF!:heart::hbeat::heart:

I know, right??
Rouge H in BOX I have been told is no longer being made. Anyone who got these boots have something special. Hermes is funny, sometimes if you ask at teh Boutique they may have a pair in the back. always free to ask! Never know! Good luck.
