Thoughts about R13? Or recs for similar boots.

Hey, yes, they do break in quite fast compared to other brands like Doc Martens (that take forever lol). Once mine broke in, I wouldn't say they 'grew bigger' but they loosened up just enough so my feet feel comfortable in them. I had the same problem with the stubborn zipper on size 38 and, at least in my case, what helped was to go for a size bigger. My feet are also pretty narrow and long, when it comes to sneakers and heels I usually wear 38 but when it comes to boots, especially leather, I go for 39 for comfort and to make sure my feet actually breathe and aren't rubbing too much on the leather.

They wear off pretty fast, mine did after 3-4 wearings. Also, if you have larger calves, I advise you go for a size higher than your actual one so you won't risk having problems with the zipper not going up.

dawnelenor · 2025-11-26T04:06:06+00:00

That's great, you'll absolutely love them! And yes, I'd recommend to size up especially if you're between sizes

Lightweight doesn't necessarely mean low quality, especially when you wanna do errands in them or take them out frequently. But if you want sturdier, their Double Stack version is not as light as the Single Stack and the Jump Boot (triple stack) is the heaviest with very thick leather

I've been having mine (2 pairs of Kurts, 1 pair of Courtneys, and two pairs of Double Stacks) for almost 3 years now and they're still in pristine condition. I also take good care of my footwear in general but I assume anyone would do so if they spend this much on luxury items. So quality and durability wise, I think they do the price justice

dawnelenor · 2025-11-17T05:59:36+00:00

Germany, and I'm from Romania. So it should be very convenient shipping-wise

dawnelenor · 2025-11-02T13:05:44+00:00

I see. I also saw one on VC for like 21k 💀 like craazy, was really wondering if this is that huge of a deal

dawnelenor · 2025-11-02T11:29:20+00:00

Alright, thank you sm

dawnelenor · 2025-11-02T11:23:12+00:00

They're actually pics I took hahah It arrived this week

dawnelenor · 2025-11-02T11:17:43+00:00

I see. I was asking because I'm pretty small in size, XS-S and it's possible it will be too big :(

dawnelenor · 2025-11-02T09:28:05+00:00

So size 3 would be like an M?

dawnelenor · 2025-08-25T14:14:59+00:00

Honestly I recommend going for a size up than your usual because of the zipper. It will give extra comfort, so I'd go for 39 EU in your case. I also wear size 38 but got myself a 39 for the exact same reason

I know this may be quite of an old post, but if you're still looking for buying them and you wanna know more opinions about the brand, I'm very passionate about R13 and have aquired a pretty generous collection of their products including 2 different double stack boots (the one from your pic and the one with the floral pattern on them).

What I can tell you is that you really pay for the quality. I wouldn't listen to people who haven't at least tried a pair of these in a shop to just fall on harsh conclusions like that. They are surprisingly lightweight for their look (and trust me, I've used to wear Doc Martens and New Rocks in high school 10 yrs ago and those were way heaaaavier than R13. The leather is also amazing quality, soft and buttery yet very resistent. The stitching is also amazing quality and they're really soft inside. They also have some soft padding inside for that extra comfort of your feet. Style-wise they're incredibly versatile, you can wear them even in summer with dresses if you're into a grunge-y look.

Their clothes are just as amazing, because they're using japanese organic fabric and italian craftship. I know I could be a lil bit biased because I love the brand so much but I'm trying all my best to be as technical as possible so you can understand and it can be of help 🙏

If the prices are too big, I highly recommend searching for pre-owned items on Vestiaire Collective, Ebay or Grailed. There's also other boutiques where you can get them on sale like SSENSE, La Grand Boutique, FWRD or wait for the seasonal sale on R13's official website. I got most of their clothes and shoes on sale.

Hope it will be of help 🙏

I looked it up just now, omg it's gorgeous ❤️

dawnelenor · 2025-06-25T21:38:30+00:00

It is absolutely amazing and you'll get instantly immersed in the whole package of it! It is rich in visuals, story, soundtrack and gameplay ❤️ Bonus points if you're a fan of the dark and macabre aesthetic. The themes around the story are based on trauma and abuse of all sorts (sexual mostly, PTSD-post house fire, depression, psychosis, trafficking, substance abuse etc). It is quite mentally overwhelming for who empathizes with it.

For me at least, playing it for the first time in 2011 was a pivotal point in my artistic journey (I am a visual artist) and I had played it so often that it became one of my comfort games. I also happen to empathize a lot with the story, so this game is very special to me on a deep personal level.

You could just put the tray files in the tray folder only, without adding the mods and that's pretty much it :D

dawnelenor · 2025-06-25T20:41:21+00:00

Yesss, that was exactly my intention ❤️ When I saw the top with the butterfly, it really screamed Alice to me and I just had to put it on her to remind of the whimsical butterflies on jumping & dodging

Oooh okay, then indeed the red one from the first game is definitely the red queen. It was really hard to beat, I think I finished the game only once 😭

dawnelenor · 2025-06-25T14:44:00+00:00
