Black. There are several posts in here about this problem, and Barney's saying it will eventually stop and advising people to wear black pants and socks until it does (but acknowledging it's a problem with the black). I just think this is unacceptable for a high end designer shoe. I hope IM fixed the problem since the first run or so. How long have you had yours?

And how do they run? I'm nearly always a US size 8... if they run wide, sometimes a 7.5; if they run narrow, sometimes an 8.5. It's my understanding the FR 39 is equal to US size 8 (per netaporter).

Ok, now i sort of remembered this issue way back. I bought mine in September. I'm no help as I only wear black socks and dark denim with the Jenny's and don't have that problem. The leather on the inside is a saddle color and the only thing that i can see that might have rubbed off are perhaps the black inner tabs. But they way they slouches down and roomy all around, i don't see how color can rub off. Hope this makes sense. I'm TTS US 7.5 and bought the 38s and have to wear thick socks. You may be able to fit into a 38. GL!

Did the dye ever stop rubbing off? Did you take them to a cobbler? I'm considering getting these in leather, and need to know!

I also noticed Barney's no longer has them. I wonder if IM stopped making them until the problem is fixed.

I bought the Jenny's in black last December. I didn't have any dye problem at all.
I have worn them a lot since (at least twice a week) and they look even better! The leather is still very deep colored, but the shaft has softened up a bit.

Hi Greentea,

They felt kinda stiff the first two wears, especially around the ankles. But after that, they are really comfortable! I usually wear a low heel instead of flats, like the IM Bekkets or the Acne Pistols, but these are a great alternative when I don't want to wear heels. Never had sore feet!

How is the sizing in the Jenny?

Saw them at Barney's too but didn't try them on. I'm the same size as you TTS US 7.5 and never have a problem with a tight fit as i always go up to 38 in all IM shoes. Could that be your issue with the tightness?

Re:Basleys. I don't think I want to size up to a 38 as they are not uncomfortable.

Anyone have the Basleys to comment on how comfy they are to wear?

Hi again.....:smile1:

Can I ask what product you ladies use on your suede Bobbys/Basleys to protect them? I've never had suede shoes before (or this expensive) and I'd like to keep them looking good for as long as possible...

...thanks..


Thanks....
