I’m a new convert and bought my first pair of Acne last spring. Grabbed a pair of NWOB on the internet and forgot the name but they’re cross banded silver and black totally flat on a beefy platform w a rubber sole. So comfy and people stop me on the street to ask about them.

Love them and the quality is great. I think they run true to full as I’m a 9.5 US and a 40 Italian except for Prada/MiuMiu where I can usually wear a 39.5

Sandals are a 40 and fit me on the full side but a 39 would have been small and I don’t think they make 39.5 in a construction like this. Their shoes are great but someone please tell me-did this Swedish company not do an English name check before expanding into English speaking markets? That’s usually the first thing a foreign company does when looking to expand into other markets.

I thought I was reading the name incorrectly at first and now think I should do a shoe line named Zit...how do you think it would do?
 
shuze, enjoy your Acnes and the compliments you constantly receive. [emoji4]

I was trying on my boots the other day in preparation for colder weather. Hubby saw the boxes and asked, Acne? I'm just glad he's not familiar with the brand and how pricey they are lol.

Ladies, can somebody please confirm?
I'm a 38 in both of my pistols and a 39 in my Almas.
Should I take a 39 in the Jensens?

I’m pretty sure they’re aware [emoji23] it’s an acronym and definitely a memorable one! It stands for Ambition to create novel expressions.

Awesome! Wasn’t aware that it’s an acronym

I just saw your reply!
Been lusting after the smooth black Jensens and can’t resist much longer, lol.
Thanks for the sizing tip. I will order the 39s [emoji4]
 
My Jensens are here! I literally gasped when I opened the box. So beautifully made! I love the smooth black leather. Sorry pistols, I may have a new favorite. These are much more walkable coz of the lower heel. The pointy silhouette elongates my legs. [emoji173]️
Can’t wait to wear them and yes, I already want a 2nd pair!
Wow, gotta give it to Acne. They really know what they’re doing with their boots. [emoji1360]
 
Hi all,

I normally wear 6 in flats/sandals, but I prefer a 7 in boots/sneakers. Would the Jensens be okay for me in 7 or should I size up?

Hello! In my opinion, 37s should be fine. Let us know how it goes! You won’t be disappointed. I wore my Jensens a lot this past season [emoji1360][emoji4]
 
I'm thinking of buying the Acne Pistol boots. Are they totally outdated now? I need a comfortable pair of shoes for work (corporate but business casual).

Pistol are not comfy. They are very stiff. In addition, the tassel pull of one of my shoes kept getting bent for unknown reason, I eventually got rid of them.
