I wish I saw those before I bought my St German boots! St Germain boots run narrow, I've got narrow feet but I find the toe box pinches my bigger foot.

Beautiful!! May I ask how those boots fit? Are they true to size? I am 36.5 but tend to sometimes wear 36 or 37 in their shoes. Advice on sizing would be much appreciated. ❤️
I think, they are true to size (compared to the H moccassins). Though comfy? It might depend on the ratio of the circumference of the calves to the length of the feet/shoe size.
If, as with me, the boot shaft is still a bit too wide/roomy, it can reach so high that - when sitting down - the rather hard leather loop stings the crook of my knee and the leather strap on the back buckled at the level of my Achilles tendon, which was rather painful - sigh - couldn't take them home.
Also: who has a bunion: it can be quite visible through the fabric. (I have the shorter boots - very comfy, though the bunions might show more after wearing a couple of times...)
I usually wear 7.5 in the us size. They didn’t have 37.5 so I tried 38. These shoes have a narrow toe cap so even 38 size fit snug.
Hi Pivoine66. Unfortunately I do have bunions
. Thanks for sharing that. I have worn my Volvers quite a bit but haven't noticed yet.They are actually so comfortable and don't give me any pain. I cannot wear a lot of shoes/boots because of my bunions.
Same here. I have to size up for my bunion on the right foot. It prevents me from wearing a lot of shoes. Ugh.Hi Pivoine66. Unfortunately I do have bunions

Apologies for intruding, does anyone know the name of the boots in this photo?
It looks like most of the models are wearing them, so I’m guessing they are this season.

I just got these in both colors. The opening actually splits open into two pieces so it’s definitely easier to get your foot in. The only issue is the leather toggle wrap and Kelly closure are the only things keeping this on. If your ankles/calves are too thin or too thick it won’t fit properly. My calves just barely fit into this for the closure to work properly still. It fits a little weird over skinny jeans too. I will say the heel height is smaller than the St. Germain and I find the insoles more comfortable. It’s a very stylish boot with character. The Natural comes with a traditional palladium clasp. The Noir comes with this beautiful new almost gunmetal permabrass closure that is stunning. The Noir is also more matte than other Hermes black leather boots.
These are boots under Equestrian so they're a classic, not a seasonal item. It's the Nedji Competition Boots, reference H800338E 89: https://www.hermes.com/us/en/product/nedji-competition-boots-for-women-H800338Ev89360/
One can also purchase the mini-chaps (reference: H800342E 89) to be added on; turning it into a pair of riding boots. See here.
Taking my new Frenchies out for a spin
Has anyone tried the new Faustine boots? If so, how do they compare to Jumpings in terms of shaft width? I am wondering whether to ask my SA to source a pair for me to try. I love the jumping boots but they are a smidgeon too tight in the calf and therefore uncomfortable.
I got this in size 36 (I normally wear 36 in most shoes, sometimes 35.5) and I found the shaft pretty large. I can easily take them on and off. I measured the top of the shalf and it was 14in while I think this was 13in on jumping boots.
While the length fits me, I think the width of the boots is quite big, so big that my heels slip when I walk
So I think you should size down if you have narrow feet

I have these in 2 colors and love them! Very comfortable and no real break in period required for me. I am a 40 in most other H boots/shoes/sneakers and took a 40 in these as well. TTS for meHi All! I'm thinking of purchasing the Vegas Ankle Boot and I'm curious if anyone owns a pair? How do they fit? Sizing? TIA
