I bought a pair of the Becketts at 20% off during a Black Friday event and now I'm unsure whether to keep them or not. As others have stated, they seem to be a bit outdated now and at 20% off they were still pretty pricey. I bought them because I'm in last trimester of pregnancy and need something comfortable to wear that I can just throw on in the colder weather and also wear when the baby arrives and I'm going to be out for lots of walks. I already have a pair of high top LV sneakers which were meant to serve that our purpose but they're a bit too dressy for what I need. Prior to my pregnancy, I lived in heels! I almost bought the Valentino Rockstud biker boots but they didn't feel very comfortable for my narrow feet. There are loads of great sneakers out there (although not so many hi-tops) so I'm not sure whether to keep or return the Becketts. Have tried the Chanel ones but they were uncomfortable so I had to sell them after a couple of wears.

Thank you! I've tried the bobbys but wasn't a fan. The becketts are super comfy and I was dying to get hold of a pair two years ago but not sure what's making me unsure of them now. They are still popular where I live and are selling out quickly but part of me still thinks they've had their day. I love my LV ones but they are too dressy for very casual wear.

Hi honeybunch :)
I can understand why you're in two minds about a new pair of Becketts. They're obviously not as fresh as they were a couple of years ago but they're still being worn and they sound ideal for your needs. I think of them more like boots than sneakers because they're great when the roads are wet, they're thick, fairly tough and cosy.
Another sneaker style you might think about is the Golden Goose Francy hi-top. It has a small hidden wedge (removable), suits narrow feet and the best part is a zip on the inner ankle meaning you only need to lace them up once then zip in and out of them like boots. But they're an intentionally less finished, more vintaged looking sneaker and may not suit your style.

Yes, I agree that they're more of a boot than sneakers. I'm not a sneakers girl, which is why I tend to go for the high top style as they are more boot-like. I wanted something that would be good on wet roads, as you pointed out. At the moment I tend to wear my ugg boots if the weather is bad and I really don't like them even though they are comfy! I would have loved a biker boot but they don't seem to agree with my narrow feet. Loved the Valentino ones but they are just to wide in the heel. Thanks for the tip about the Golden Goose hi-tops. They sound appropriate for my needs but not sure if they would suit my style if they are more vintage looking. I still like to look very smart even when dressed down. I have looked at Jimmy Choos sneakers but the only hi-tops that fit me right are the Preston wedge sneakers which again are quite dressy.

Hi there,


I am looking on buying my girlfriend a pair of Beckett's an am unsure on the sizing, She is a UK 5. Need a bit of help on what size to get her with regards to French? Would the 38 be too tight?


Thanks for the help.

Hello everyone. I would like to buy isabel marant sneakers. they are very expensive and I wanted to know if there is anywhere sales/offers, but to be ORIGINAL and not fake.

also, I am a uk 4 is there a chance that I can have a uk 3 in those sneakers? do they run smaller or bigger?

thank you in advance

Hi xtianaki- regarding size I would stick with your size or even larger. I'm a UK 4.5 but needed to get the equivalent of UK 5 (FR 38 / IT 37). They look a little big but I tried the UK 4/FR 37 and they were too short in the toe box. For reference I take FR 38/IT 37 in Beckett, Bobby, Bart and Dicker. HTH!

I'm a bit late to the trend but I'm obsessed over the Bobbys and I just have to get my hands on some! I'm leaning towards the taupe, but the black looks awesome too.

I'm just super confused over the sizing, I'm normally a perfect UK4 and generally get a US6.5 and EU37. Luisaviaroma says they're french sizes, so does mytheresa, so that would mean I would be a FR38, yeah? But whenever I've read any forums every seems to go with EU sizing.. Should I go with a 37 or 38? Can someone please suggest what size I should get, please :smile1:

I'm also in love with bobbys. For sizing, they go with FR. So choose FR38. N.B. I'm US8/EU38/FR39. It's 0.5 inch big on me but I fix that with thick socks. FR38 to me is tight pinch.

I think go with 37. I'm a UK 5 usually, a 7-8 American and vary from 37 to 38 for Euro, so my foot is larger than yours, and I have a pair that are 37s. I also have a pair of 38s I can wear though so it's not like it's a huge difference.

I think it will be a good sizing. Enjoy your Bobbys, I have both colors, Taupe and Black, and even though I've had them for some years now, I still use them A LOT!

I had bobbys in faded black and khaki and I sold them towards them last year and I regretted it so much! Seriously the bobby style is so chic and I'm glad I managed to order another pair on sale and I definitely won't be selling them. Although could only manage to find them in the anthracite color but I prefer the faded black. Ohwell my fault for selling my pairs in the first place :(
