Isabel Marant Boots thread!

Im unfamiliar with UK sizing, but I typically wear a US 6.5....and I got a 36 in the Berrys....hth

I looked it up and a UK3-4 is between a US 5 and a US 6... so I guess a 36 should be fine for me... I am just confused because if this is the case, then the shoes do not have "french" sizing, but European.

I usually wear a 39.5 in french sizes but the berry's are perfect for me in 39 with thin socks.
So to complicate things even more i would say they run large for french and small for european size

I also wear the dickers in 39, same story, only with thin socks and the beckets in 40 ( 39 was way to small lenghtwise)

So, I managed to try the Berrys on in store, and my heels slips in a 37, but in a 36 the shoes are quite "tight"... not in the lenght, but in the width... I wasn´t sure if I should get them, it wasn't uncomfortable but I just had them on for a few minutes not a full day. They are reserved for me now, so do you think the Berrys will get wider when I wear them? I can walk in them in a 36 with no problems, in a 37 the heel slips and I definitely have too much room in the shoe in general.

I had the same problem, 41 too big and 40 narrow. I took the 40, and hope that they will stretch. I did manage to try 2 different pairs of the 40, and found that one came up wider, but because of this my feet felt like they were turning out as I walked (like I was going to fall off the heels, it was really strange). I think they are better a bit narrower, as they seemed to grip on to my feet better when walking. HTH

I think the heel of the Berry feels a bit wobbly, so if the shoe is a bit too big, then it feels like you fall off the heel yes There is nothing that holds the shoe to your foot, because the shaft is very wide. I really had a hard time walking in the 37, as I continued to slip out of the shoe and I imagine that this is getting worse when I start wearing them.

Does anyone know if this website is legitimate? http://www.isabelmarantsboot.com/isabel-marant-highheeled-boots-cheap-p-31.html

I'm looking for franklin boots and they have it but not sure if there are fakes or not. Also, can anyone advise me on the sizing of Franklin? I'm size 6 in boots and wondering if I should buy 37 or 36. I read on Net-a-porter that it runs large and it's italian sizing but I'm guessing it's a mistake.

Franklin's run tts. I'm always a 7/37 and took 37 in Franklin. I've seen authentic Franklin boots on ebay so check there. Don't order from this site, they are fake.

They will prob stretch a bit...although idk if you are willing to put up with the pain involved with the breaking in process...

I may wear mine out for the first time tonight

You can get shoes professionally stretched which eliminates the pain.

I hope yours are comfy first time out - have a fun time!!!

In a hurry to leave for dinner tonight and completely forgot that I was planning to take the berrys out for a spin...oh well...gotta save it for next time then..

Have you ever had your shoes professionally stretched?

Oh yes... please tell me how it goes when you wear them out next time.

My problem with the 36 is not just the comfort, its also that the 36 boots look very small... like kids or puppets shoes and I like that the berrys are a bit "chunky" on the feet so thats another thing that botters me. I rather have the larger shoes and put a sole in it or something to have that "chunky" look

Yes, I had one pair done 3 years ago, and I'm still wearing them, so it does work!

 

[Lana!]

Okay, I decided to get the 36. The shoes do not look that much bigger in a 37 and it doesnt make sense when I cant walk in them

I post pictures when I get them.

Ladies....Would you size up if the fit through the toe box was snug and painful out of the box?
I bought some boots similar to IM dicker, and I'm trying to decide between the two sizes. The larger fits comfortable through the toe box, but slips. The smaller size fits in the length, but hurts through the bridge of my toes straight out of the box.
I'm so confused which size to keep.

You can try putting the insoles in your bigger shoes and see if they help before rerunning them. Small shoes are just not comfortable ...
