Isabel Marant Boots thread!

[nycbagfiend]

thanks again, tonka and so confusing!

unfortunately, the seller got really nasty in the end so i decided to let them go (they didn't even sell!). after asking her if the strap was leather or suede (i could not tell from her photo--the black pair seem to have leather straps, but her camel ones looked suede. then again--i can't find even 1 photo of camel otways!), the seller wrote me back and told me i ask too many questions and my responses are too late (huh? i usually responded w/in the same day if not same hr to her!) and i should just forget about it. how rude! this after she sweetly wrote me a couple days earlier (after my question about international shipping/tracking) that she'd lower the price a bit if i would just forget ebay and take the transaction outside! i politely refused and i think that's when she turned face.

bah! i really want these boots but can't stand rudeness! sigh...the search continues!

(sorry for my rant/vend!)

I couldn't make up my mind between taupe and khaki but after seeing meishe's pics, I decided to go for khaki. I just ordered them from La Garçonne today. Can't wait!!!! Thank you all ladies for posting pictures and sharing info. here.

You did the right thing letting it go. To me I see FAKE all over this listing! I refuse to deal with rude people no matter of how good the deal is. Selling off eBay is a sign that you will not be protected! Which favor the seller cus you cannot get your money back if the boots are indeed fake.

I am sure you will find anther authentic deal on the bay soon. Just keeping checking... GL

For those that have both Betty & dicker in the same size, can you say that they both run and feel the same?

Just sent a return authorization request from La Garconne. Unfortunately, the size 37 is (surprisingly) to big for me. I'm a 6.5/7 US, 36.5 in Manalo, Choo and Weitzman, and 37.5 in Chanel. Guess I need a 36 but I don't know w/o ever trying them on. From reading some of your horror stories about the lag time of cc's getting credited, I'm hoping the return process is not so painful.

I received my Jenny boot today from NAP in Anthracite and I am not 100% sure I will keep them, even though they look great. I wear a 6.5 US and the 37 fit well.

One thing that bothers me is the heel on this boot is 3/4 of an inch, and for me anyways, that heel height does not provide enough support for walking, and can be uncomfortable. Does anyone that has the Jenny boot let me know if they have walked for awhile in this boot yet and how comfortable it felt?

Also, oddly, the boot pinches me in the ankle bone area. I will check with my cobbler to see if he can stretch that area, I imagine he can. I also am not sure about what to pair with the Jenny, besides skinny jeans. It seems like the Dicker you can dress it up or down but the Jenny is more casual.

I am torn between the Jenny and the Dicker and keep going back and forth between these two boots. If you had to choose between the Jenny or Dicker which one would you choose?

gina ~ I tried the Jenny when I visited BNY the other day ... Altho I like the Jenny look but I feel it is hard to wear the boots for the style I am going for, it sure has some limitation as far as how you can wear it. Unlike Jenny, for Dicker I can dress it up and down, with straight leg pants, skinny jeans, leather leggings, skirts & dresses...bare legs or with tights ...very versatile! For the price of the boots (US$580), I want to wear them as much as I can to get the $ per wear worth a while...

So check into your closet and see if Jenny will go with most of your wardrobe & decide (In may case, Jenny does not go with most of my outfits)....So my answer is if you only want to get a pair, get the Dicker....

Hi gina2328. I have to agree with Tonkamama. I think looking at it in terms of your wardrobe and the potential to wear the boots is the sensible thing to do. I sometimes get carried away with items, only to find out down the track that I won't/don't wear them. Maybe if you are thinking already that they won't go with much of your style/wardrobe, I would say that would be a pretty good indication that they won't get that much wear. Plus the fact that they are pinching. Maybe this is an issue that will subside with wear but if it doesn't it will really limit how much and long you wear the boots for.

Personally I would go for the Dicker over the Jenny if I had to choose just one boot, just because it definitely is a more versatile boot. I've worn my Dicker boots for 14 hours straight and walking all around London and I never had any issues. I hope this helps

Did you see my photos on page 104?

Here is taupe jenny next to camel dicker.

Ooh.... I LOVE them both! That Dicker colour is amazing and I love the toughened look of the Jenny boot. Great buys!

 

[bgmommy]

I also agree if you are choosing - I would chose the dicker. I wear mine all the time and like mandicakes said - you can wear them for long periods and they truly go with everything. I too debated the Jenny and may eventually take the plunge, but love the heel of the dicker! Good luck and let us know what you decide.

I love the rugged look of Jenny too. I'm a jeans gal. I wear jeans almost everyday, so Jenny is more me than dicker.
I plan to wear them with slouchy boyfriend shorts and boho skirts in the summer.

My sweet DH just had the Anthracite Dicker boots sent from Barneys for me as a bday gift. I'd never seen these in person before they showed up at my door. Got the 36 (I normally wear a US 6) and they fit so perfectly. Can't believe the "right out of the box" comfort! I'll post a pic in a minute!! So thrilled!

Congratulations on the fabulous new shoes! Can't wait to see the photos

My new Anthacite Dickers! Wearing them with JCrew skinny cargo pants and Current Elliot cropped jacket. I consider my feet to be on the wide side and these are just perfect in every way. Not too snug, not too loose and they don't slip at all. She really hit it out of the park with the design of this boot. Now, I want taupe, too!
