Amazing purchases! I have been obsessed with those boots since the show! Do you by any chance know the calf circumference of the tall Jaime boot? Praying it will fit me when mine come in! Thank you!!!View attachment 6053406

ETA: I could have taken a 37.5 in the short boot, but I didn’t want to wait. There didn’t seem to be much difference, though I do take a 37.5 in H boots normally. (I’m a 37 Birkenstock; 37.5 chanel ballet flat for reference). I’m 5’2”. The tall boots are really three inches too tall; they hit the back of my knees, even when worn half zipped (which is an absolute non starter for many of us). So, IMO, only buy them if you are stupidly in love lol
etA: @nashpoo , I’m 5’2” and have long torso, short legsI joked with my SA that if I had back of knee chafing, I could always buy vet wrap /horse bandages lol

I’m not sure how accurate I am bc I cannot find my clothing tape measure, but I believe fully closed and zipped 15 inches is the outer diameter. I can wear them open (and imagine that’s how I will wear them most of the time) and outer measurement is 16 inches. My standing calf measurement is about 14.5 inches. There is a gusset and you can release the double zip for additional expansion. Because of the buckle at the base of the boot, your foot should remain secure even when the zippers are lowered
ETA: I got the impression that the rouge H tall boot with the middle zip down the front of the leg was not produced, and ebene will be coming in this model. This is of course noir.
@880 went in and picked up a pair today! I am seriously obsessed thanks to you! I am 5'1" so they go right up to my knee and there is a lot of room!! One of the Managers and I joked around that I should get heal lifts to put inside so they hit under my knee and I actually just might. Now I want the short ones too (which my store did not have yet)! 🤯
Anyone have these? I’ve ordered them in leather and would love some input from those who have!
I have the short version in smooth leather
@880 those look amazing on you! You are my enablerBought these two pairs of boots. Both called Jaimie, one with a “y”
I’m short 5’2” and while they did hit around the knee, they weren’t uncomfortable. I was able to zip them up fully, but my SA commented that they were not fully zipped on the runway. She also showed me how to adjust the double zip on the boot
Itself.
I took a 37.5 which is my normal size for H boots. For the shorter boot, I took a 38. For sake of comparison, I take a 37 Birkenstock; 37.5 Chanel ballet slipper.

Love the edginess....have now added them to my wishlist (must get to NYC soon!!!!). The fact that they're so tall will be good for me since I've got long legs and many boots look too short.
I tried on the tall black boot in leather with the shorter heel. They were easy to pull on/off and true to size for me. The top of the boot opens well so it's easier to get on and off compared to a riding boot. I didn't like where the boot sat on my knee so that was why it's wasn't for me. They are very cute though.
Thank you so much for this. They hit me just below the kneecap so I think it’s OK. Just curious what you didn’t like about where they hit you.

Ugh! I should have checked this thread sooner to see if any one else tried the jaime boots 😭 I didn’t even think to unzip it a bit to see if that made it more comfortable
I wanted to report back that I tried the Jaimy booties and I passed on her as well. Although it was so edgy and funky, it seemed more of a tuck them under your straight leg pants kinda bootie for me which isn’t really my style. I just so happened to wear the only pants I would wear them with.

Seriously everyone is different in terms of comfort and tolerance. If you were extremely uncomfortable when you tried them, unzipping might not matter or help. My SA warned me that they might be too tall and rub (she’s also short). I haven’t walked much in them, but I love them. So if I end up taking Ubers until I break them in that’s okay. For 10-15 minutes of walking so far, they’re fine for me. But it is an individual thing, and more people seem to pass on them then buy. For the lower boot, I don’t plan on tucking in. I’ll wear them with a leather mini skirt if I want the boot to show the buckle details. Or with straight or full cut pants like jeans or Hermes cargos. I also probably bought them too big for most other people. I’m normally a size 37.5 in H boots and they only had a 38 in the short boot. But I was so excited, I didn’t want to wait lol. Plus, I prefer my boots a little big in case I decide to wear thicker socks or put a Birkenstock insole or my custom insoles inside.Ugh!

ETA: I think I can also fit my insoles in the 37.5 tall boot. ETA: @jag, I got heel lifts. But DH pointed out that they have adhesive and he’d hate to see me ruin the interior of the most expensive pair of boots I’m likely to own. He also pointed out that the heel lift would push my forefoot forward and might make the toe box uncomfortable. So I’m probably not going to use them. lol But, please tag me if you find a particular heel lift or something that works

I’m so jealous they seem to work for you. Both the jaime and the jaimy are so beautiful and well made!! If I was still in my 20s, I would have sacrificed my legs for either pair.. (so glad the days of louboutins are behind me)
Totally agree with the bolded. I do this too! I like to cozy up my boots with warm socks in the winter and add inserts because comfort is key!
I also love the Jaime calfskin boots! Adding more pics here for reference. Ordered these on the day of the RTW event as a charge send from the Madison location. These are the best boots I own. They’re badass and comfortable to walk in. I sized up to wear comfortably. I wear them half zipped with the buckle half closed. I’m 5’7”/170 cm but with long legs, short torso and large calves.
They remind me a bit of a pair of Rick Owens boots I own with a chunky sole. Unusual as Rick Owens and Hermès are pretty much on opposite ends of the design spectrum.
Once the weather turns colder, plan to wear with tights and skirts.

As someone who loves wearing jeans, I love the styling here. Thanks for sharing!Ugh! I should have checked this thread sooner to see if any one else tried the jaime boots 😭 I didn’t even think to unzip it a bit to see if that made it more comfortable
