I received my boots last week but didn't get a chance to play with them until today.

I have the Dickers in Anthracite and Camel, and the Jenny in Taupe. These are my first IM boots and I am in love with the Dickers. They are comfy straight out of the box and can be dressed up or down. I know that all these things have been said many times already but until I actually tried them on, I didn't really get what the fuss was about. These shoes have literally transformed my wardrobe! If anyone out there is on the fence, take the plunge and buy them!!!

And I know that the camel Dickers have had mixed reviews but I love them. Yes, they looked a bit mustard when you open the box, but once they are on your feet they are a great neutral colour. I tried them on with jeans, dresses, skirts and it looks good with them all.

I didn't have time to try on Jenny, will post pics later.

The Dickers look great on you! I love the way you have your outfits paired with the boots, you wear them well.

i love the anthracite more and more....and hope you don't mind me sharing them again...

The anthracite looks great on you, I can see why you would want to share. It's an amazing shoe.
 
Well, I posted about a week ago because I was unsure if I should keep the Jenny boot or send back and buy the Dicker. I did send the Jenny back and after thinking it over I bought the Dicker in Anthracite, and thanks to everyone's advice. I am so happy with the Dickers instead of the Jenny!

If I had to choose one over the other the Dicker wins hand down for me. It's just so much more of a classier boot. Also, it was comfortable right away, where as the Jenny was not comfortable. The Jenny pinched the sides of my ankle bone. I also have a very wide foot, so for the Dicker to be comfortable right away is amazing.

One thing I am wondering about is I am a 6.5 and I ordered the 37. They fit just right in bare feet, the left is a little more loose than the right when I wear a thin sock, and both are a little loose when I wear a thin sock. I am hoping that the shoes stretch a tiny bit in the width, but not in the length. What is everyone's experience with the suede stretching, do they stretch at all in the length, and somewhat in the width, or a lot in the width?

i am size 37 and got the 37. it's just my habit that i always put an insole in my shoes (except sandals)..i have narrow feet this way my feet feel more secure in the shoes. after i added the insole, width wise was fine but the right foot big toe area was a little tight for me. after a few wears it feels l got more room. my big toe no longer feel the pressure anymore. the SA told me they stretch a little. HTH.
i am glad you got the dickers....for some reason i thought the jenny was more of a girlish (teenagers) look.
 
I will admit that I did wear these with frequency when I got my back pair last season. But because I got a size too big (the 36 are super roomy on me) the leather insole scrunched up in the center around my arch which makes them slightly uncomfortable... Meaning I wear them with socks mandatorily now. That same leather insole is peeling off also. :( I think it' s not necessarily the quality but that I wore them too big.
 
Soooo, after much debate with myself and using all sorts of tricks to get the dickers to fit, I actually decided to keep them!! They fit in the beginning with socks and since i hate wearing socks (I live in FL), I thought I should have purchased them in 36. I think they didn't fit initially cuz we had a cold snap here and when my feet are cold, they experience shrinkage? Even though I would prefer a tighter fit overall, finding the right inserts have definitely helped a lot and there's still room for swelling in hotter temps. So, without further adieu, here are MY camel dickers (pardon the low-res pic as I took it with my dinosaur blackberry)...

Yay! I'm glad you decided to keep them.
I know exactly what you mean when you say your feet change size depending on if it's hot or cold. I've bought shoes in winter that were fine, but so uncomfortable once summer began.

I love how the Dickers look with your jeans rolled up, I might give that a try too!
 
I know a few of you have added protective soles to the bottoms of your Dickers. I have been wearing mine every day and am worried they are going to wear down way too fast! I want to add a protective sole but wanted to see what others look like before doing this. Please post your pics of your Dickers with protective soles!
I want my Dickers to last as long as possible! I have Anthracite and Taupe and I switch between them so they don't get too abused! Thanks in advance!:smile1:
