I can't wait for cooler weather so I can wear boots again. Alas, today was 100F. Sigh.
I purchased 3 pairs last year..2 pistols and 1 alma. I was planning to get a black leather pair of Alma boots (I have grey suede almas) this year but I don't see it anywhere. Has anybody seen it? (online or in stores). Please let me know. Thanks!:smile1:

I think the Almas got so big last year that they discontinued...Like I was trying to buy a used pair of someone for 140$ and she said no way. And now a hardly used pair will easily sell for that price...cause too many of them available.

This year I´m aiming at the Jensen. But I´m hesitating between grain leather or plain leather (black). What do you all think?

I love the Jensens too, I'm eyeing black suede. But if the choice is between grain or plain, I pick grain. I like the texture and doesn't show creases as much as plain.

I see. Thanks for replying. Maybe I should check out European sites as I don't see the Almas in US sites. Wish me luck! :smile1:

For the Jensen, I like the grained leather more. The texture gives it a certain kind of character. :smile1:

Thank you for the answers! My first intuition said grain too, like you, and it was just when I tried them on IRL than suddenly the smooth looked more polished and dressed up, and grain more relaxed so I was in doubt. Also the pair of grain I tried on were a bit "used" on the top.
I´m gearing back towards grain though cause I also wanted some "texture" on my booties.

Ljlj : I think the Alma have been discontinued here in Europe. They were heavily discounted at the end of last winter (which never happens with Acne!)
I just checked european website and Acne texture are available in the small sizes 35-36-37.
Otherwise you still have the pistols, and the Star which I got 3 years ago yey! and the focus for this season seem to be the Jensen booties and the Adriana sneakers. They discontinued the Donna as well... :/
Your best bet would be second hand...
 
White Jensens with black detailing are coming out for Cruise! I'm still working on getting a plain black suede pair. I keep hoping they will be included in the upcoming sales...

I finally got my suede Jensens. I love them but there are two small dots near the front of one of the shoes that's annoying me. I don't want to deal with the hassle of returning them so doing my best not to let that imperfection ruin my excitement. I'm hoping it will get less noticeable with time.

Where did you get them from? I would contact their customer service and see if they will give you a small discount as they are defective.
