I got size 39 after getting 38's and returned the 38's. my left foot is bigger too and i definitely could not have handled getting around in those 38's they would have driven me mad! esp for what i was paying for them.. i have a thing about buying shoes too small! as for the 39's they have hardly stretched.. the 39's are half size bigger for my foot but i put an insole in and they are perfect much better than cramping my toes all day long.. be careful with sizing if you are half sizes order up if you are full sizes stay as you are. if i was a true 7 the 38 would have been fine but im 7.5 in between and was too small and i have long toes!
I also first got the Wila's and they are nice but they dont really go with much outfits i thought.. they are an off beige colour and the blue piping is nice but the beige i thought was hard to match things.. i now have the bayleys in the light grey with brown star and they go with pretty much everything!

Hi there, thank you for your review! I thought the same as you do about the Wilas. I got them too with the blue piping but returned them because I found the beige hard to match with my Outfits too. As for the sizing Info I totally agree too.
I love the Bayley in the color you got! Big congrats!

I am now obsessed with these sneakers. I started looking at all the colors available, lol. FedEx picked up my return so hopefully my Jaune Bobbys will be on there way to me next week. In the meantime I saw the Baya Perforated Leather Sneaker in Black and ordered it as well. I haven't tried these yet, but they looked like a leather version of the Bobby. Can anyone tell me if that is pretty much what they are?

That's exactly what they are, and they have black soles instead of a tan contrasting sole.

Yep, another addiction. DH is going to be so happy :roflmfao:. On the up side he has no idea how much these sneakers cost and I plan on keeping it that way.

Thanks Poppy. I just got a shipment notice. They should be here soon.

I own CL in 38.5 and I took my Bobbys in a 39. Since you are a 38 that should work for you.

I added the denim Balesi to my family... If any of you are on the fence I say Go For It!!!! I LOVE them:)

size wise these were the smallest fitting... I always buy a 39 and these took one day to break in ;) usually the 39 are roomy and feel like clouds out of the box..

Exactly, lol. What I really don't get is when looking on ebay how much over the normal price people are asking. That is where I would have to draw the line. No matter if it was my size and a fab color which I recently saw on Bonanza they wanted 895.00. I mean really the shoes cost 640.00.

I love the look of them and have been looking for a pair in my size. If anyone sees a 39 would you let me know.

Hi ladies! I was wondering how one can clean the suede Bobby's? My really dark jeans bled onto my ciel (light blue) Bobby's quite a bit :/

Also, I just got some Wilas yesterday! Sooo happy!

You could try using a high quality suede cleaner and either a soft brush or a soft cloth to clean them, however, I would recommend taking them to a good cobbler and asking them what they recommend either for DIY cleaning or for their services. I have been able to remove smudges and stains myself but I have never tried color transfer removal. Smudges and stains are one thing, but color transfer deals with dye so it might be a little more of a challenge. What you don't want is to accidentally continue to transfer color in an attempt to clean it. Also, if you do take them to a cobbler, ask exactly HOW they remove the transfer. One time I took a pair of suede shoes to a cobbler to be cleaned and he told me he could remove the stains with no problem. When I picked my shoes up, the suede was stiffer and seemed worn down in the spots where he cleaned. When I asked him why it looked like that he said, "Well, we add a cleaning solution and then scrub them with a firm brush, that's how we remove the stain." If I had known exactly what the process was, at least I could have asked better questions about what could possibly happen to my shoes and the suede!

Can you post a pic or two so we can see how bad the color transfer is? Maybe other ladies will chime in. ;)

Your sentiments are completely understandable. However, it appears that enough buyers are willing to pay as a search of actual sales shows that pairs are/were moving at around that price. Also, speaking from experience, I've had to fork out significant surcharges (taxes, customs fees, shipping, foreign transaction cc fee) especially when ordering from abroad. I feel like I'm getting a discount if I can find a pair from a retailer that does not involve additional charges. <end rant> :p

These handsome boys arrive today! Waited almost a year for them! Not really a shoe person and being a muther of 2 this would go well on all of my casual rugged outfits. I was lucky to score these w/ free shipping because nap asia pacific has this promo for free shipping&#128517; My 3rd marants! True enough! 3rd time is a charm! Thanks for letting me share!
