I'm in the mood to buy a new pair of Acne boots!

I have two pairs of trusty Pistols, I am a TTS40, but bought both in a 39 and they stretched to fit-

I really like the pointy toe and the textured leather looks of the Jensen and the Lomas-

Has anyone tried on or bought the Loma? How do they fit and is the heel height the same as the Pistol?

What about the Donna? I like their more western styling, and I assume they pull on like a cowboy boot.

BTW- just found some suede Donnas for an insanely good price on Yoox! $218!!

Any help is appreciated!

Where do you guys and girls go to find good deals/sales on Acne? Do sites like Rue La La ever have them on sale?

I just ordered a pair through Solestruck's try@home to see how they fit. I don't reeeeally need more black boots, I guess (hah, yeah right) but they're so cute!

I have seen a few on Yoox this weekend, some very new pairs on Vestiaire Collective and The Real Real, and then of course eBay.

It's just difficult to figure out sizing on all of the styles- TTS is not universal!

ok, i decided to buy the pistols

now i don't know which size will be the right one. I have always 36, narrow feet.

I like to buy them from net-a-porter. They recommend to take the normal size , so true to size.

on the acne webside they recommend that they runs big and to take one size down.

are they different? is this not the same collection?

I bought one pair from the acne store in Paris and I tried on my normal size (40) and then teh SA recommended I definitely go down to a 39. The 40s felt too big and teh 39s felt too tight- but I trusted her and bought the 39s.

I wore them with thicker wool socks during the winter and they stretched to fit.

The second pair i bought on line I went ahead and bought the 39s and they did the same.

The Pistols do have leather soles, but they have the rubber tread on them- so yes- they are "ready to go". I found that to be a plus- because I always take my leather soled shoes immediately to a cobler for vibram covers.

I would definitely recommend you go one size down.

Regarding the zipper- they seem to start to get broken in after a lot of wear and a LOT of walking. It definitely does not happen immediately, and for me they seem to creep down only about 1". I think some peoples zippers seem to have loosened up more, but I can't speak definitively on other people's boots.

Post pics when you get your boots!

Ugh. Are there differences in sizing in the Pistols from year to year? :(

I meant that the sizing wasn't universal between different Acne boots styles- like i know my size in Pistols, but I am trying to figure out what size I would wear in a Donna, Jensen, Lomo, Orbit.

From my experience, Pistols run consistently large.

So i received the pistols today and the first impression when i saw them was not like : WOW
:/
They are nice, but i don't know if they are nice for this money. They are very stiff and the matt look of the leather reminds me of rain-boots.

I wear in the most of my shoes 36. I orderd 35 are they a fine. i still have room in the lenght. My left feet fits perfect, the right feet is fine as well, but it hurt a little bit my little toe and the heel is slipping lightly out, but not very much. In other shoes i have sometimes the same problem, that my right feet is smaller than the left one.

But i don't know if i will keep them. i'm a little bit disappointed, because i expect something better because of this hype arround this boots?
The newbury looks nicer, but the heel will be too high for me. i'm looking for boots which i can wear all the day..

perhaps i will keep them and hope that the leather will get softer...

can i wear them in a little bit of rain or have to protect them first with spray or a cream or something like this?

I am planning on buying the Jensen boots and it seems that many sites suggest going to the next size up if you are a half size (I am a 36/36.5 in shoes and got a 37 for the R&B Harrow Boots). Is this true?

I am usually a 39 (8.5 US sizing) and I stuck with 39. It gets quite narrow in the front but the shoe itself is pretty roomy, depends if you have a wide foot or not. I don't. Good luck!

I'm usually a 39.5 in Valentinos/Rag & Bone/Chanel and got the Jensen in a 39 and I'm thinking they may be too tight. Although I am 2 weeks away from giving birth so I think I'm a bit swollen...but still not sure if I should size up. I can't really find them anywhere right now though unfortunately so I feel like I should just make it work??

I'm a TTS 35 with narrow feet, and got 35 in the Jensen boot just yesterday. They fit quite snug with socks, which is probably why they suggest to go up a size if you are a half size. Sizing down may be too tight for you [emoji4]

I can't help with all of them, but I wear my Pistol size in Donnas too. I think I've tried on a pair of Jensens in the same size bit I'm not 100% :thinkin:
