Isabel Marant Boots thread!

[Brigitte031]

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!

I think people switch the plastic heel, add a sole to keep them from wearing down and if it fits a little too big I'd recommend doing what I did not - adding insoles also, such as the soft non-stick cushion ones from Aldo. I don't know if it's the way I wore them but mine are so worn after only one season of wear. It's kind of a bummer. Oh and don't forget to spray them with suede protector!

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)...

Fantastic!!

I don't have the real Dicker boots but I did purchase one similar by Steve Madden. It's called pembrook. It's on sale too so I was able to get it in 3 colors: black, cognac, and taupe.

I'm so excited I finally found my beloved Marant booties. These are so hard to find in the USA since you can't seem to find them online. Any other Marant boots lovers out there?

I purchased this style in beautiful taupe color:

Here are a few photos of them on fashion blogs:

I bought a pair of SM after I couldn't find IM taupe, and I sent them back. They are a decent look alike, but nothing like the quality of IM. Once you try on a pair of IM boots...it spoils it for all the look alike boots. Isabel boots are pricey, but they are so worth it if you can afford them.

I agree boxermomof2. I tried on the Steve Madden's, Dolce Vita's and Aldo's hoping they would look just as good (the colors these brands offered were better). However, they just didn't compare to the IM boots in terms of comfort and overall style. If you can afford to have the IM version, that's the best choice IMO. However, if you can't splurge, the other brands are all excellent options.

On another note - NAP (the US site) has the dickers available in "moss green". I think they are this season's "khaki" and just changed the name to reflect the green more accurately.

oh I can definitely afford them but I just don't want to spend the money. All my shoes are high end and good quality so I know and understand what you mean about quality and design. For some reason I think I'll be okay w the SM ones. if not then I guess I'll live w it.

I received an email that heist in Venice CA has Dickers in. They call the taupe moleskin brown.

Has anyone ordered the Dickers in moss green from the NAP website?

I decided to order a pair. Is the color similar to last season's Taupe at all, or is it an entirely different color? Is it the Khaki? Thanks!

I believe it's the khaki from this season with the green undertones

Please post when you get them though!

Anthracite

I am in love with the anthracite Jenny boots! In fact I couldn't resist ordering myself a pair today! Can't wait!

Got my Dickers a few days ago but was recovering from a surgery. Now I get to see and feel them. They are lovely!
