Filuca V...
I have ordered from Filuca V a couple of times, and I know the owner, so I wouldn't worry. They often take pre-orders on boots, etc, so maybe they haven't received the boots yet, which is why they haven't shipped.. As far as I know they have just received the Berrys today, so they will probably ship within a day or two
..
So sorry that the Jacobs don't work for you!! but I agree, if you can only walk and sit in them then they are too $$$ to keep.
Hi Goji!
Sorry I haven't been around the past few days! I wear a US 8 and a FR 39 in IM boots. I got the Lazios in a FR 38 bc that's all they had available. They fit snug but totally comfortably. I have the Jacobs in a FR 39 and they seem to run 1/2 half size big (same fit and cut as the Lazios) which is why I thought the FR 38 would be fine - and they were! So, if you want a snug fit then get the 36. If you want a looser fit (so you can wear thicker socks with them) then get the FR 37. You mentioned your feet were normal width to narrow - if they really are narrow then you may want the 36. Like I said, I now have comparable boots in a 38 and 39 and the main diff is I can wear thick socks with the 39 - thin socks or no socks with the 38. If you are very worried about them being too small and can't return/exchange them then get the 37 and wear thick socks or use an insole! You will love these boots!
Hi June!
Is this true? I thought it was still French sizing (eg. US8 = FR 39)?

i think so...
i got all IM shoes except trainers in FR37....i don't own any sneakers but i returned the bobby and FR38 was good for me. 37 was too short.
what i have:- (and i have narrow feet for ref. and i am a US7....i got the 37.5 in YSL lower heel tributes)
dickers 37 fit perfectly
gwen pumps 37 fit perfectly
dana (38...too big)
mony (37...still too big)
blackson 37 fit perfectly
Rara, thank you so much for suggestion. I ordered 36, so I will report back when I get them

ok, good to know thanks! I was worried because she said the would ship them last week and I have never gotten a response to my emails... Í hope they will ship soon, can't waitI have ordered from Filuca V a couple of times, and I know the owner, so I wouldn't worry.

Awesome!! YAY! Pics when you get them, pls!
Interesting! Maybe this is why the Jacobs feel so big and the Lazios feel ok! I did need the larger size in the sneakers, tho, just like you said. So odd. They need to streamline this sizing issue at IM asap!!!! Just when you think you know your size it goes and changes. Very tricky when you have to order them in situations when you can't return or exchange easily (or at all)! thx, june!

June, Rara, Kaypa, thank you all for suggestions on sizing Lazio boots.
I got them today! I decided to order size 36 and if they were to small I would have exchanged them.
Now, I am true US 6 and despite French sizing of IM boots I went with 36.
I am glad I did because even in 36 I have room. I really would have preferred them a little more snug but this is the smallest size. I feel like my heels are sleeping out a bit
Those of you who use insoles ( I think June mentioned she does), do you find them useful?
Thank you

i think it's the design...for narrow feet gals like us, it's inevitable. the insoles helped a lot. but i can feel the heel slippage. my cobbler told me for shoes in general, the heel slippage happens if our heels are too small or the front part not tight enough. either way our feel aren't fat enough to fill the shoes.
aren't you glad you didn't get the 37?!...
they are lovely on you...you made the right choice!!

I'm usually a 6.5 and I ordered the berrys in size 37 and it was waayyyy too big...anyway, just ordered another pair in size 36 so I'm hoping that it won't be too tight

Oh yes, Spoke with two SAs and both recommended 37. Thank god to you and your narrow feet that I could relate to
So how do I fatten up my heels?
Any particular insole work best?
