As Kitechick rightly says, they are dark grey almost black. I prefer them like that, I was worried that they would be BLACK ( if that makes any sense
)
Perfekt!
I really like it that they are not too black black ... I exactly know what you mean

!Hi ladies!
This is unfortunately the state of my Dicker heel after a recent run in with the escalator...I was horrified when it happened! I don't even know what to do, the wood is ruined! Does anyone have any experience with repairs from IM? Short of replacing the heel...I don't know if a cobbler would be able to do anything! Help!

What a great pair! Is Miel the light camel from 2011 s/s? I bought the camel from this season and they are quite dark...! Im now wishing I had scooped the 2011 colors up as well!
I can't tell I'd that's a hole... But if not, would you be able to sand it down with a light sand paper and then use a wood stain or even brown shoe polish to bring the heel back to one color?
yes I think so (I'm not good with names!) I bought them last Febuary at NAP, so it must be s/s 2011. The Taupe were a/w 2011....
I think I prefer dark colours with dark heels, like the pic above, but never mind!

i saw your pic and literally gasped in horror! i am so sorry that happened to you! i know a good cobbler can try to gently pull the wood veneer straight and smooth again and then glue it down. i've had that done to some leather-covered wedges. but i feel like with wood veneered heels, i'd almost ask to have the wood veneer re-done completely new. i'd never be happy with it unless it was like new but that's just me.
i'd say take it to the cobbler and see if he can smooth it out first. if that looks good enough, then great! but if you're not happy, i'd ask if they can re-apply a new wood veneer. i don't see why not. cobblers can be miracle workers!
on a side note, i think i'll keep my dickers indoors from here on out! yikes!!
The antrazith (very smooth great light black) arrived and I am very happy that I ordered the french 41!I like them to have a little space because I walk a lot and...
'These boots are made for walking'!
'These boots are made for walking'!
Cocoyu - I do like the black heel...I think I may go down that route if the cobbler is unable to smooth it out...thanks for the pic!
And jettsett, tell me about it! The second it happened I literally had a mini heart attack (I was at work!)...I took it into the cobbler today and hopefully he will be able to do something, I'll find out on friday. I did a lot of research and apparently this guy is the best in my area...fingers crossed! New years miracle?
US Net-a-porter have the anthracite (grey) Jenny's in stock. 
I ordered a pair because I don't trust Barney's pre-sale. They had camel dickers in stock AFTER I placed an order, and they never shipped. 
The sold out online so I ordered my camel from La Garconne. I think Barney's.com is a crap shoot. BTW, the camel are darker than miel...they are very close to UGG chesnut color if this helps.
I can't wait to see the khaki Jenny's!!! I'm holding out hope the color will be closer to the past season's taupe.They sure look like it from La Garconne's website.

Good luck daisy! Hope you'll find a good cobbler who can do his magic!

Boxermom2-I can't wait to see the khaki Jenny's as well! The color looks fantastic!
I received the camels yesterday. It's a lot more yellower than i anticipated and not as warm as the Ugg's chestnut. Also, the more light, the lighter and less yellow they appear. Both photos have no flash and the profile shot is definitely true to color IRL. I have to say i'm on the fence now. What do you ladies think?

I got them and found them too yellow also. I wish they looked more like your second photo!
