Miz Mooz Jazmine sizing advice needed

Hello!
I have found my way here from time to time, usually when looking for info to guide me in online purchases. This time I couldn't find what I needed to know, so I started an account just to ask this question. It seems a few of you are Miz Mooz aficionados, so here's hoping you can help.

I'm considering Miz Mooz Jazmine boots, but can't find enough reviews to guide me on size (the ones on Endless vary between true to size, and running big but not clear how much).

How big exactly do they run? A fraction? Half a size? A whole size?

It's very important to me to know, as my feet are a good half size different - too big on one foot and they'll be falling off the other. Too small on one and the other will be hobbled.

For reference, in Danskos and Naots (which I find very true to size), I normally get a 39. My left foot is a fraction longer, but my right fits with wiggle room. I get the left stretched or endure a bit of break-in pain. A 40 is painless but feels like they're falling off my feet. My ideal size, when I can find it, is 39.5 - a great fit on my left foot, maybe a little wiggle room, and a little big on my right but nothing buckling & insoles can't fix.

Also, when I'm asking about size I mean length. My feet aren't narrow but they are bony. I have trouble filling shoes out around the instep and heel. Sometimes reviewers rate a shoe's bigness/smallness according to how the width fits them, which can be misleading on the length.

39 usually translates to 8.5, but taking everything into account, what size Jazmine should I get? 8.5, 8, or smaller?

Also, my calf circumference is 34-35 cm and I prefer my boots to fit as snug as possible. Sizing bigger will make the calf looser.

I'm in Australia so can't return/try multiples. Sorry for the essay! And thanks in advance for any replies. ^_^~

I goggled it- I didn't know what you were talking about.
Free shipping! Fab. Free return shipping... even better. Lots of styles is a big +.
I'd be curious to how others find the sizing of these boots too, and how they wear ect.

Which boots were you looking at?

sorry, not used to the forum yet or I'd post a pic. Probably not buying them here though. I want cognac!

Looks cool to me
Sorry I can't help you with your sizing question.
Personally I think the booties are really cool....

Thanks for replying! Heaps of their styles look luscious. I might try bumping this thread in USA awake time tomorrow!

Also, mumtojessandlu, from the reviews I've read, Miz Mooz sizing is a bit all over the shop. So if you're thinking of getting any be sure to find out the sizing for each style, it could vary.

Hi,

I own the jazmines in cognac, and I am sorry to say that based on your calf circumference preferences, I think you'd better rule them out. Most websites state a 15" calf circumference, and I have found that to be true for my pair. I have 14.5"calves, and mine are definitely not snug. I worry that they would gap on someone with a smaller calf.

Sorry!

Thanks so much Melissa! that's really good to know. Damn, I'm still lemming them lol. I wonder if the gap would look that bad I saw a photo and liked the look, but they're clearly a loose fit.

Maybe I should do the gumboot look. The weird thing is, I only started looking at the Jazmine because I was looking at the Amelia for its snug, short calf.

Talk me away from this cliff! Or should I jump off it?

What do you think about the foot sizing?

I'd do a poll about the gaping, which in my book would be an issue, but only you know how it would be for you.

About the foot sizing, I honestly don't remember other than that they fit my feet. I'm just home from a looong work day in heels, but I'll put mine on tomorrow and report back.

Thankyou, that would be awesome to hear your findings re the fit. Good idea about the poll - I will figure that out asap!

IME, Miz Mooz fit true to size. I do 38 or 7.5.

Thankyou! <3

Sorry for the delay, but I wore my Jazmines around the house last night while putting away laundry and can now report back re: fit. My pair are size 9s, which is my normal size. I have pretty normal feet, average arch, average length, maybe slightly wide through the wide part of the toes, and narrow heels. These boots are slightly big on my feet, although nothing that makes them slip around or swim on me. I'd say I have a little extra in the length. The only place they are not roomy is through the arch, so if you have very high arches I would not recommend them.

About calf fit, it's really your call, but I do feel they'd gape badly on anyone with a less than 14ish inch calf circumference. There are many other fabulous boots in the sea with smaller calf circumferences, so I'd personally wait for the perfect calf fit. Here are some pictures to show how they fit my approx. 14.5" calves (sorry they are sideways!)

Melissa, that's exactly the information I needed. Your description re sizing being slightly big lengthwise gives me a good idea of what they're like.

Sounds like our feet aren't dissimilar in that my heels are narrower compared to the ball of my foot. Shoes tend to swim on my heel at times.

Your photos were particularly helpful. The boots look great on you; but I can definitely see how they gape. You are so right that I should look at the plethora of boots out there. Even within Miz Mooz there are calf-hugging styles, like this (discontinued) Janessa, which looks a lot like the Jazmine:

Thanks again for all your help! ^_^~
