Has anyone seen from most recent seasons or current another makeup of Lemaire's seed-stitch knit? I am wearing again the seed-stitch knit from prior spring/summer season collection in virgin wool and it is so great. Breathable, light and springy. Looks good oversized a bit (this is size 3, which roughly translates to large I believe). The open weave pattern is great. I need at least another..

Can anyone comment on how Lemaire boots fit? Or where to find something similar to this model now for that matter? I am around size 8.5 or 9 US -- 41.5 is usually what I take in EU size.

@Parker I don't know of any similar pairs but if you happen to find something PLEASE let me know.
The ones that were used in the AW17 show, and the ones that are worn with a lot of the stock pictures on the Lemaire website currently, weren't produced. I tried to pre-order them and was told they weren't going into production :(
Hopefully there's something next AW.

Unfortunately I've never seen half sizes. I think we are about the same size @Parker and the 42 works well with Superfeet insoles. Depends on the season too I guess since my brown pair fits well enough without insoles compared to black pair. Those side zip are pretty ubiquitous with Lemaire collection so you should see them again. I recall @dieworkwear writing about a shoemaker that makes side zips too and I remember the shape to be fairly similar to Lemaire's style.

It's all made bespoke, so the prices are higher than RTW, buuuuttttt if someone in the Bay Area is interested in getting something, let me know. If there are enough orders out here, maybe he'll come out. Right now, I'm looking at flying out to NYC at some point to meet up with him for an order, although I don't know if that's even doable. Would be a lot easier if I could see him in California.

I was thinking about Foster & Son but totally forgot about Tarek's model, too.

Thanks guys. I think I'll wait to find a Lemaire boot -- the one with the taller shaft. I tired a pair on a few years ago, maybe it was from The Corner. I can't quite remember why, but I returned them. And I can't remember if it was 41 or 42. Can't do bespoke. I'm too impatient.

JM Weston make really nice ankle leather boots similar to the ones you posted. Chelsea 705

For a more exact look I recommend Ann Demeulemeester zip up leather shoes:
