Hi, yes! That's what I was wondering too - about the anthracite being really the green version. I haven't seen the anthracite anywhere else apart from on mytheresa. I also thought bronze was the green but is bronze more of a brown?! Now I'm confused! So you think they don't actually come in grey at all?

I wear a lot of burgundy - burgundy jeans and scarves - so that's why I was unsure about the green. I guess the green would go better with an all black outfit. I just like my expensive purchases to match with everything and all colours!

Hi, I agree; I think the Green will look great with black or grey outfits. However with burgundy outfits I guess the Black or even the Bronze will look better. The Bronze is imo a true dark brown in daylight, but can look slightly khaki in artificial light. The store I bought them from called it 'khaki' but the box says 'Bronze'. Netaporter calls them 'army green' but I'm sure they are the Bronze.
I think that's also confusing for people who may think the Bronze is therefore more green (but is really brown imo). I also haven't seen an 'Anthracite' on any other site except for Mytheresa. Although 'Anthracite' is a color IM often uses for her other boots, I'm also wondering if the Andrews exist in that color as it's so close to the green version. However I can't see a hint of green (like in mine) in the ones on Mytheresa so I really don't know.
I guess black will be the safest if you want to be able match them with everything, but green is imo the most beautiful.

I don't know why the retailers don't just use the name that IM uses on the boxes! It would save a lot of confusion!

Hi:)
I was wondering if I can get more opinions on how andrew boots are in size. As other pll mentioned NAP states one should take a whole size smaller than usual?
Im 37 in all my other IM boots, except caleen which I had to get in size 36.
Any advise?
TIA :)

I'm an Italian size 36 and took the Andrew boots in 36 (in this case a french 36) and they fit me perfectly. There has been some confusion on Netaporter before regarding IM sizing as according to Netaporter a french 37 is an italian 36. I think that's why they recommend to size one size down, but if you normally are a size 37 (Italian/Europian), I'm assuming you should take the Andrews in 37 (french).
(btw. I usually have 36 in IM)

Hi ladies,
Hoping someone can help. I'm a 37 in the crisi boot and am interested in the jenny which is only on ebay. Can anyone tell me if the sizing and fit is the same? I never tried the jenny but have the crisi. Of course there are no returns so I want to get it right!!
Many thanks

I have an ongoing dilemma regarding the Crisi boots. I'm normally a size 9, so I bought the 39. The 38 felt a little short in length...The problem is, the boots slip constantly in the back! (I've only worn them around the house so far). They're so comfortable otherwise, and exactly what I was looking for...

I don't know if the problem is that the ankle part is just so wide that it doesn't hold the foot in snugly enough...Does anyone else have these boots, and if so, did you have this problem? I may end up returning them because the sizing is just so weird...Unless others have gotten the Crisi and find that the slippage gets less with wear, or isn't bothersome...

Any advice much appreciated!

From my experience, I find that the Crisi fits large. I'm normally IT37, the 37 Crisi was wayyyyy too big, even with extra insoles, my feet kept slipping. For Jenny, I find them TTS. At first I bought 36, thinking that they would fit like Crisi so I sized down.. Well, I was wrong! The 37 Jenny fits me perfectly.

Thank you so much!

I bought some insoles, will try them then decide. I called the IM store ,and they said they fit TTS, and that the ankle is just wide...The slipping is annoying in the 39 but the 38 felt short, unfortunately, if only they had half sizes!

I've got exactly the same problem!! I think I'll hang onto the 39s and use an insole!

It's frustrating, right? I put the insoles in, which helps a little but it still slips. I wonder if the 38 wouldnt still slip a bit because the ankle is just so wide that when you step, the boot doesnt hold it snugly in place...

Anyway, I took the advice of the IM store, so hopefully it works out. I love them and even though the sizing doesn't fit my feet very well, I just couldn't bring myself to return them!

I had the same problem! I have the dickers in 38 and so i ordered the crisis also in a 38. I was slipping out in the back all the time. So i returned them and i'm now planing on getting them in a 37.

Not sure about the color though. MyTheresa got them in "faded black" and in "anthracite". What's the difference? On the picture the anthracite looks more blueish then the faded black. But as we know, the pictures aren't always true to the color IRL. Does someone have one of them ore even seen them in store?

The good news: I FINALLY purchased the Dicker in taupe. The bad news: my heel already slides in them, and I haven't even worn them yet. Is this a common issue with these boots? Do you think I just got them too big? I am typically an 8, sometimes an 8.5, and I got the boots in 39.

The issue is I cannot return them, as I bought them from a boutique in UK. Will these stretch even more if I keep them? I considered selling them on eBay, but see the ones that are listed there aren't receiving any bids.

So disappointed, as I've waited a long time to get these babies on my feet!
