I have a specific question regarding the white leather Princetowns:
Does the white leather version soften up so much that it's actually an idea to get a half size smaller than recommended? I.e Gucci website recommends sizing up 0,5 size, but if the soft leather loosens up so much (I've read) that it's actually a good idea to get ones regular size? What do you guys think?
Edit: I have narrow feet and got the Jordaans in 37,5 and they are NOT snug at all. For reference I'm a 38 in most high-street brands.

Has anyone seen the Princetown in "brown (lighter brown)?" I think this color used to be called mud. I missed out on them a couple of years ago and just saw they were back on the site, but only a few sizes left. I don't know how I missed them because I check their site every couple of weeks. They show fully stocked on the UK and European sites, but can't get shipped here to the US.
Yes I’ve been on the hunt for these for over a year and saw I missed them on the us website as well. I called customer service and they said they are not and will not be available, saying they’ve gotten several inquiries for this shoe in this color. So if they’re so popular, why not restock, especially since they’re available on the European site? Anyway they said I was basically out of luck. a few days later, thr lightbulb went on. I ordered them from the French website and had them sent to my hotel. Going to Paris in two weeks and I will pick them up. Really hope they fit. I was only able to order a size 8 (I’m typically a size 7 to 1/2, so fingers crossed as I won’t be able to return as it’ll be past the 30 day return window and apparently they aren’t in stores (only online). US customer service gave me no hope of finding them here but who knows, can’t always trust what they say. Good luck
Oh I’m glad you might have found an option that worked for you. I don’t know how I missed them because I regularly check the site. I’ve called customer service and they say they don’t know if they’ll be restocked and can’t notify me, but the UK site is fully stocked, every size!
Same situation here, 100%, I’ve stalked the website, called CS, the whole deal, just for this particular color. I don’t know why they won’t carry that color here since they themselves have said it’s popular and people keep asking for it. Perhaps they will, since it was also gone from the European site, but now it’s back. What size do you need? Ashamedly (is that a word?), I still continue to stalk the website. If I see it in your size, I’ll message you.
I have the Princetown in both white and black, in size 37, which is a half size up from my normal size (I'm 36.5 in Gucci sandals and the Marmont loafer, but a 36 in the Aces; also 36.5 in most other brands). They feel equally soft to me, and both pairs fit like a dream and are incredibly comfortable. If you have Princetowns in other colors besides white, I'd advise you to get the white in the same size as the other pairs you own. I've also heard that many people with narrow feet don't need to size up the 1/2 size that Gucci advises for Princetowns. HTH!
i size up 1/2 size in gucci because of the length. i have narrow feet and the width is never an issue.
Hi, I just bought this yesterday at a Gucci boutique. I was in a rush, i just tried the size and paid. I just opened the box now and noticed the wrinkles. Is it normal? I contacted my SA and she said this wasn’t a display and 100% from stock. They dont have any size available but offered a different branch. Shall I try to go there and exchange or is this acceptable?
My white Princetowns does the same. The leather is very soft and will inevidatebly crease up with wear.
I wouldn't exchange. Even if they didn't have any creases when you pulled them out of the box, they'd have them after the first few wearings (maybe even the first). Nature of that leather.
Thank you for the replies! I am expecting the crease eventually that’s why I’m hesitant to go to a different and farther branch. I just thought it will take a few wear before the crease appear specially on the upper part of the hardware. Plus I’m so excited to wear it now!!
I remember my white ones being the same and they were pre-ordered so had no store handling, just looked creased like that straight out of the box.
i love them, very easy to match the outfits in the warm months. and comfortable.
