Hi ladies! I am preparing myself to take the plunge on my first pair of Susannas, after 5 years of lusting after them! There is nowhere here in NZ to try them on first before purchasing, so it's difficult to work out what size to take. I am a try size EU37, UK4. Can anyone advise if I should go for the 36.5 as I've heard they run half a size larger? I have a narrow foot and ankles if that helps at all?
I have two pair and they both run large. I'm a true US 8, and a 7 1/2 fits the best. I could wear a 7, but then they would be too tight with socks.
Mine is the post above, the half size below ended up working for me. I am a 37 and got the 36.5. However they were super tight on my pinky toe. For about a week I put them in with camping socks and blew a blow dryer at the tight areas until they heated up and now they fit perfect. The main reason I had to size down is the Heel area of the boot is enormous and flops around if they aren't tight enough. I also hear the sizing runs inconsistently so if you are able I would order some where with exchanges available! Good luck!
Has anyone noticed that the studs on the side are getting cut off into the heel/side of the boot now? I got 2 pairs to try on from Saks and I couldn't see the full design, I was so disappointed! I tried them in years ago and I was swimming in the 39, but the 38.5 I ordered was definitely too small, I was completely smashed on the inside. I guess sizing is quite changed over the years!
Hmm. Susanas are narrow and fit differently depending on leather/season. Do you have wide feet? The width is an easy fix, take it to a cobbler, they can stretch the leather. However, loose heel.. It Sounds like it is too long length wise. There shouldn't be any heel slippage. It's evident it does not fit right. Thick socks wont help/solve it. You may have to go down 36, for this style and color/season.
Hello ladies! I just purchased these Susanna booties in the greige suede, and I'm in love! I'm wondering though if I should pretreat the suede, or leave it be... does anyone have experience with treating your suede Susanna's or any other Chloe suede for that matter? Thanks in advance for any advice/help.

I use an apple brand water spray protestant on all my shoes for a little added protection
I was actually going to ask something similar! But, I got the black leather ones. I was going to condition the leather but I wasn't sure what brand people suggest? And also spray it to protect from inclement weather. I should have some apple brand for that. Suggestions for leather conditioner?
