Ann Demeulemeester shoes

[Mona13]

Great choice, PI! I have these too, and they are incredibly comfortable. I literally walked over 20 blocks in them yesterday, with not an ounce of pain.
Completely agree on the boot version being so close to last season's shoe, and these are the perfect alternative! Congrats!!!

Thanks tang, lucky and Mona!
Totally agree that these wedge sandals are ssoooo comfortable, even more so than the lace up sandals from last S/S. It seems like the leather used by Ann D this time is so soft and supple!

Enjoy them!

PrincessImp, or anyone else with this season's buckle sandals, do they run true to size? The site I want to order from only has a pair a half size bigger than my size.

 

[luckyme]

for me, this season actually ran true to size and possibly even a little shorter than usual. i would try the half size larger, especially if you can return them.

 

[PrincessImp.]

Oh, for me this season still seems to run slightly larger than size. I got a size 38 for my Ann Ds and I'm usually a 38.5 for other brands.

 

[Mona13]

Gorgeous, lucky. Thank goodness for crazy women I'm glad you ended up with this style.

lady - I also sized down this season. I'm a US 8, and have the buckle sandals in a size 37.5. They are a perfect fit. As PI says the leather is super soft, so I've actually found them to stretch quite a bit after wearing. I would be careful about sizing up, unless you can return them.

Thanks for your help all!

I have been living in my FW09 ann boots.. I should take a new pic of them now that they're worn and creased in.. they look even better (imo) than when new

 

[lady.stardust]

Thank you!

Haven't had a chance to wear them out yet. But just wearing them around the house, they're comfy.

I love the Ann D shoes. I find them to be quite distinct and recognizable but in a take a second look need to know what they are kind of way. Having a hard time deciding whether I like the buckle style or the lace-ups though. Granted I'm still trying to decide on whether to attempt to track down a pair of the triple lace-up ankle boots of hers that were at the beginning of this thread.

My new Ann D's from this summer...a birthday gift to myself
I debated a long time between getting this wedge sandal version vs the boot version seen on the runways.
Love the idea of multiple buckles on my legs, but the boot version was just too similar to my lace up sandals from last summer, so when I saw this version I felt it was a wonderful compromise..the buckles are there..but it's different enough to justify the price.
The clunky-ness of the shoe will be a great counterpoint to my summer dresses!

They are SO BEAUTIFUL! Congratulations!
