    ^ Yes, you'd require the taller boots or ones with a higher than average shaft to achieve that. Tight or curved seam or J-shaped trousers/jeans will further add to and enhance the seamless stacking wrinkled look. Having physically slim calves is quite possibly a requisite as well.

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~

      Thank you for the suggestion, but that doesn't work on me. I guess I will make my decision when I get to Paris.

        Bought my first pair of Mid-length reverse calf back zips last week and
        just wanted to add my experience with Guidi fit. My first thought before trying them on was that they would never fit my WIDE feet. The store I was at only had one pair in a 43 1/2,(all my other shoes are a 42). When I put them on they were tight but not crazy tight. Instantly, I knew they would be perfect. Now I think a 43 might have been fine but who knows, only the 43 1/2 in stock, not a big deal.

        As for the shaft, I find mine not that tight at all. Can easily zip and tuck a pair of pants into them (and I don`t have chicken legs), be it lighter weight pants or heavier wool pants on these cold days. For myself, I find CCP boots especially the tornado boots much smaller in this area. It is a real struggle for me to get them zipped let alone tuck pants into them!

        I`m in the same club as Acid, Bitter & Sad, you really need to try a pair on before you buy them. Regardless, this thread helped me a lot and I hope I can add to that!

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

          I also just bought these and i think they fit true(ish) to size. I normally wear a 42 and I bought a 42.... i found them tight for the first couple of wears but now they are perfect. I always assumed guidi were meant to fit like a leather sock and they stretch out to size.

          I probably could of bought the 42.5 but imo it would take a pretty wide foot to jump 2 full sizes up.

          agreed they should be tried before purchased.

                        its quite possible to create your ultimate guidi boot at retail price. another option of wearing them is leaving the very top portion of the shaft slightly unzipped, creating a wider opening in the back.
                        Do you have any more insight into the customization process? Can I select any model from previous seasons? What kind of treatment, features are possible? Also, does guidi offer the bull and donkey leathers in different colors or only black / brown?

                        When I was talking to the SA at Maxfield's he said that it wasn't really a full MTM order like what you're saying but rather, one can custom order the current season models in different leathers and sizes.
