Isabel Marant Boots thread!

[kdo]

Help please...I'm finally taking the plunge on getting the Dickers and would like clarification and suggestions.
1. Current season colors are anthracite and moss-green (per NAP), right? What is moss-green called? Taupe, khaki..??
2. I am only able to get one pair. Which color will be more versatile? I wear boots practically all year round. My wardrobe is fairly neutral with muted colors and occasional bright colors. I'm not sure about wearing an almost black ankle boots in the summer.

I'm dying to see more pics of current colors? If you have some more to share or have links to bloggers wearing current season Dickers, I would be so helpful. TIA!

Has anyone put grips etc. on the bottom of their dickers? I'm considering it to help the shoes last since the bottoms are so soft. They sell some that are supposed to help with slip and also are safe for all floors. WDYT?

edit: Not to have the soles added with rubber - but these sticky super thin ovals you stick to the bottom of your shoes.

bump - anyone?

Moss-green is khaki.

As a word of warning, I got my Khaki and Camel Dickers from La Garconne and had to send the Khaki's back because they really are a light GREEN, not a greige as I saw on my computer monitor. I know there are TPFers that were really disappointed in the Camel, but I think this is a much easier wearing neutral for the summer months compared to the light green.

Just my 2 cents.

beauxgoris ~ I don't know about others... but I wouldn't. I would rather put in new soles, cus those oval stickers eventually will fall apart. Now most cobblers offer taupe/beige color soles (just like they put in red soles for CL shoes).

based on your wardrobe description... you should try getting either taupe or khaki, the one on NAP is khaki.

I took a photo of two of the current colors. Khaki are the lighter greenish boot and Taupe is brown. The Khaki color seems to turn greener under different lighting. It's really strange actually. Outdoors the green undertones really come out, yet indoors it's not that noticeable.

I had intended to return one of the colors, but ended up keeping both. The colors are so different from each other and I seem to be getting more use from the Khaki's. I certainly wasn't expecting that.

I also included a photo of the chocolate Dixie's so you can see the difference between the browns. The new Taupe color brown has more grey in it.

I think whatever color you choose you will be more than thrilled and gets lots of use from them. It would be impossible not to!

Aomalita, you've put a smile on my face. I can totally relate. I'm also a stay-at-home mom who likes to dig out my clothes and play dress up.....It relaxes me!

There is no secret in enjoying five children AND fashion ...I have a PB, a NAP, a mytheresa and a eBay app on my IPhone and I love to wear my IM clothes and shoes where ever I go: playground,supermarket, ballet school, hockey field...!!!

I have the Khaki and the Anthracite and I held up the Khaki to different colors of pants and skirts in my wardrobe and the Khaki seemed to go very well with what I have, even gray and black. But of course very well with brown shades. I think the Khaki is more versatile than I thought it would be.

What colors do you have in your wardrobe exactly?

I started off with the Anthracite, intending to only have one pair, but decided I needed to invest in another pair, so I had to have the Khaki.

Love your chocolate Dixies!! Such a pretty color and it has a lot of depth to it. I never thought the khaki Dickers would go so well with bright colors (I was thin inking about pairing them with a reddish tone dress). Your picture convinced me more to pair them with bright colors now.

Help please, ladies! I am thinking about buying another pair of Dickers in camel. I already have the khaki but I'm not sure if the colors are different enough. I saw here that some of you who own more than one pair either have the combinations of khaki-anthracite or khaki-taupe but I haven't seen khaki-camel yet. Should I take the plunge?
Thank you for your input.

hmmmm....that's good to know. I wonder if the khaki from La Garconne is the same as NAP.

Wow, thanks so much for the comparison pics -- they are very helpful! Funny thing is on my monitor I see no green undertones of the khaki. This season's taupe is a completely different color. I wonder why they named it taupe.

My wardrobe consists of most all muted colors, not too much yellow/gold (although I love mustard), greens or reds for some reason.

From what I'm reading of all the helpful feedback, khaki seems to be close to last season's taupe with some green undertones and appears to be quite neutral and easily wearable.

OK, I've been obsessing over the Dickers for a long time. I think I'm going to get the khaki from NAP and see them IRL once and for all!

Now, from my reading of this thread, it seems like folks do quite a bit of walking in the Dickers. How are they holding up, i.e. wear on the sole and suede uppers?
