I wandered into Hermes thinking it was time to try on these mysterious shoes that are always sold out online, lol.

I have very narrow feet, the Orans fit me fine with sticky pads inside. They had Chypres in black, white & natural. I tried the black (full size) and they were way too wide in the front area around the H strap. Sadly they‘re not going on the wishlist

I have gone up a whole size (from orans) for the black leather. For the shearling ones, do you still go up one full size as well or do those fit different?

I’ll let you know - I went up a half size for the shearling. I have the regular ones in 38 and I wish I had gone up a half size on those. I think these shoes generally run small.

I was wondering if I am the only one who find these sandals uncomfortable, especially underneath the velcro. There is a spot underneath the velcro that pokes and rubs my skin, in which I developed a small wound just from wearing the sandals once. Will it get better in time?

When I first got the sandals I wore them for a week and I got cut up in quite a few spots and was definitely painful but honestly after that first week they became like butter! The strap no longer cuts me .. I think it’s just a break in period from what I’ve experienced (very similar to how it was for me breaking into Birkenstocks)

You can just stick a mini size bandaid over the strap where it tends to rubs your skin. Also apply a tiny bit of neosporin or cerave healing ointment on your feet before putting on the sandals will do the trick.

Wow thanks for this message. I felt relieved! Hopefully the end of breaking in period comes soon.

Thank you! I will definitely take your advice. I’m sure bandaid over the strap will be a game changer as it’s going to cover the roughness from the stitching. Did you have the same issue?

I felt the straps on the chypre and mine didn't seem to have the rough stitching in brand new condition. I did apply the cerave ointment for the first few times that I wear them out (just in case), haven't had any issue so far

You’re one of the lucky ones! Enjoy them in good health

Thanks! Unfortunately I haven't been so lucky with H loafers, they cut up my feet pretty badly so I've banned myself from buying them Chypre has been a pleasant surprise.

Every pair I’ve owned has this issue. I scratched at the spot with my fingernail to loosen up that threading that pokes at the top of my foot. Eventually it softens up pretty quickly and I never even feel it anymore. Could also try nail clipping it after you loosen it up with fingernail pressure

I saw a TPF’er posted about applying corn pads on the underside. I am going to try that night. I had mine conditioned mine professionally to work in the leather and thought I had broken them in on my one as well, but they are still uncomfortable. Chic (imo), but still uncomfortable for walking 15+ minutes. At least I got the right size (for me?!) .5 size up from Orans.
