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?

please post pics of the repair! ever since i saw your pic, i've become obsessed with finding a cobbler that can fix something like that...and mind you, there's not even anything wrong with my dickers! i guess i'm just trying to be pro-active here and see what sort of options are out there for this type of damage! LOL! talk about being in LOVE with a pair of shoes! it was just so difficult to find my beloved taupe dickers that if anything happened to them, i'd just DIE!! i won't even check them in when i travel. i either wear them or stick them in my purse! LOL!!

Yes, the camel are closer to a mustard color. Although your first pic looks darker (on my monitor) than my camel.
La Garconne's pictures were very accurate on my monitor.

Agree that my pix is a bit dark-but it is too mustardy for my taste. I think i may return them and wait for the khaki jennys. Torn!

I am still on the fence about colour and size for the Dickers and time is a ticking! The camel looks very dark in the above pic. I am leaning towards khaki, the colour looks more like the old taupe which I missed out on. All my boots are either black or dark brown/tan colours, so the khaki would definitely be different. Also because I can buy at netaporter and easily exchange if the size is wrong. It appears that I can't do that with La Garconne cos I would have to pay return shipping and new shipping charges. Correct me if I am wrong.

Yes, you would have to pay for return shipping with La Garconne.

I'll post pics of my camel in natural daylight next to my cognac so you can see. IMO, La Garconne's pictures are accurate...if this helps.

That would be good! Also how do you find the sizing? I keep getting conflicting advice about whether to take 39 or 40. Sigh. It's hard living in Australia and not being able to try things on because we don't have them here.

I am a italien size 40,5 which would be french 41,5!
I ordered the dickers from nap in french 41 and they fit well.
This kind of boots could not fit that snug like sneakers so because they are some of whide to slip in ... if you only go for the length they are tts - but keep in mind they have a french size!
If you want them very snug you Must choose a size which will maybe to short/small in the length...

so i go for 40? That's what nap said too but other people say take the 39. So confused.:thinkin:

I think it's no good idea to buy shoes for over 300 Euro and then try to wide them with wet socks or bring them to the cobbler to wide them...this boots slip a little bit because of the shape!If you want them to snug you have to buy them to small and wide them...not my thing - I followed nap's avice and I am happy!

So, you ordered according to La Garconne's recommendations. You sized up from your Italian size. If you were a Italian size 40 you would have been a size 40 in the dicker boot.

I know the sizing is completely confusing!
La Garconne states the IM boots are IT sizing. The box says IT and then Made in France.
According to NAP I should wear a size 38F, but both my dicker boots are a size 37 and say IT 37 on the box. I am a true size EU 37.

Last season NAP was stating the shoe was running one size large, this year they are saying TTS?

It looks like the khaki Jenny's are close to the old taupe dickers.
