Tried the black calf Devon Chelsea this afternoon that I got from the online store. I'm very happy with these and I think I'll probably buy a second pair too. A nice and dressy, albeit basic, pointy boot, something I've been waiting on for a long time. Tried them with my usual of black raw jeans and black knit, and also with a white shirt and 2 button black 69 cm blazer and they looked really nice with both. I'm very tempted to go with the python side zips as well now, although I would have preferred the lizard which I thought looked amazing on the runway.
Sizing wise, I went with my usual 45 and they're pretty snug in the toes and I have narrow feet - some people may prefer to go up 1/2 a size, but I can only go a full size to 46 which would be far too big. Ankles are reasonably small, but I still get a good gap between my ankle and the boot at the front - not a big problem but I would have preferred them to be slimmer. It certainly won't be possible to achieve the look where there's a gap between the boot and the jeans when wearing cropped jeans that I love, like in the look book (see below), and on the runway. Still very happy though.
