    damn, all this publicity for the backzips just squashed my hopes of finding a reasonably priced pair on the second market

    In how many different heel-heights have the classic backzips been produced? Only two?

      As far as I know only two. But why only? You can choose between different leathers, colours, heights of the whole boot, heights of the heel, sidezips and backzips.

        I didn't try on first, normally 42 and 43 fits perfect.

        Thanks, they're similar shape, I was trying to hold out for back zips but these were so nice and a great deal.

                Some of those shoes are incredible, not just the boots. I like the website too, but it is hard to discern some of the colours without an enlarged picture.

                  Really like the grey back zips in calf. I'm thinking of making the jump from black to some grey and those look like a nice place to start :)

                    Just my two cents on the sizing conversation. It also has a lot to do with the type of leather. I just purchased an incredibly soft pair of sheepskin side-zips. They're very tight, but will likely stretch a size or two. The more stiff leathers obviously won't give as much.
                    Guidi's are notoriously narrow. Which will grow. However, if they're too short in the length, it's probably not going to be a good fit.

                        If you are able to source the backzips in horse leather from a season (or two?) back, get them. They have a slimmer silhouette - if slim is your thing - than a number of backzips currently on release. The silhouette is comparable to the sheepskin sidezips pictured up above but maybe a touch more elegant. Not as chunky looking as the donkeys @ Atelier.

                        Plus, nothing moulds better to your feet than horse leather - donkeys come close - and they don't stretch out crazy like some of the other leathers (eg. sheepskin). I've also found that the thick sensuous horizontal folds or wrinkles that form around the upper vamp, which is a common and desirable attribute of guidi boots after frequent wear, come out the best and most well-formed with horse leather - if indeed you desire that sort of thing.

                              Re: those pesky Guidi shafts

                              [QUOTE=Faust;197862]I would like for peeps to file more reports on the back zips here. What leather, height, you have, how has been the experience wearing them etc. Tried on a pair of donkeys today (had to size up 2 sizes), and they did not feel comfortable, but I was told that the donkeys will stretch in time and than they will be comfortable donkeys. I liked the look, but the shaft was too narrow to tuck my slimmest pants in. Is cropped pants the only option?


                              An option you may want to try is folding down some of that top portion of the boot, so that your pants have a place to hit instead of tuck into. Any narrow trouser or jean will work. Scrunch up the bottoms of your pant legs so they stack on top of the boot, basically.

                              Like so~

                                I like the way that looks, but I also think it requires the slightly taller boot as well as pretty shrinkwrapped trousers to look right.
