Isabel Marant Boots thread!

[alopes]

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.

I have both khaki and camel - they're two VERY different colors. I love them both! Take the plunge.

Can anyone help me locate the leather - not suede version of her dicker boots.

If you can hold out, it looks like IM AW12 gets some leather dickers in 3 different colours: Black, Brown & Camel as I can see from the picture.

It is hard to tell what the AW12 seasons suede's colours look like but from the picture it looks like the "old" taupe and hopefully Miel will be stocked. I was so disappointed with camel and would be so happy if it is a Miel that will be released, crossing my fingers.

If you interested in the sneakers it looks like a there will be a couple of colours, not sure about the silver version.

cheers

^^Thanks so much for the photo. That's pretty much my shoe dreams come true! Do you (or anyone) have any idea when they'll start selling the "fall line" shoes? Those leather ones are exactly what I've been searching for. I love my suede - but I'd love a pair of black leather too!

Unfortunately not until July/August.

What a great shot of what's to come. Thanks for posting the photo indeed. I'm happy to hear they don't come out until summer because I need the time to save up.

Thank goodness!! I will wait for fall!! I was second guessing my choice to return both dickers but now I am pleased that I did!!!For the update GBG!!!

I'm similar to you in shoe size I think. Do buy a thick insole. I was silly enough to wear my Dickers in size 36 without socks at first. Like I said some posts back the leather insole completely tore off and the leather is crinkled beyond belief. I can't really comfortably wear my Dickers anymore.

How did this happen? That's terrible.

I bought the Aldo insole for my new Dickers to prevent this from happening but now my Dickers feel too snug. They felt fine before the insole. I haven't worn them yet, do I need to have them stretched?

 

[kdo]

Thanks for the G2, gbg!

brigitte031 - I'd like to know what happened too. I don't usually wear socks, especailly with my boots. Is there a problem wearing the Dickers barefooted?

I tried mine with the insole as well this weekend and hated it. I put them back in my newbury boots. Still searching for perfect insole but wore them with Falke cotton anklets and they were great.

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.

I put those Sole-Stopperz by Foot Petals. Thin sole you stick to the bottom of the shoe. The clear one disappears. They are helpful because my Dickers are slippery on some floors and it will help to keep them from wearing down. They are pretty thin and the directions say they will last 3 months or so. I wear my Dickers all the time so we'll see! I didn't want the cobbler to put a sole on because he would have shaved a little off the original sole and I didn't want that. When they are worn down a little more I'll have them done. For now these work great and are pretty cheap!

Yeah, I'm hoping it can be fixed. I can pretty much lift the leather insole up and out of the shoe and I can see this white sticky cushion underneath that also tore but is still semi sticky and on the boot. My guess is that because my foot is smaller than the shoe and I wore them without socks the heat rubbing back and forth caused the leather insole to bunch up in the center and eventually all that tugging made it loose. And with anything that might be wrinkled and scrunched up, it was uncomfortable underneath my foot.

I ordered the terry cloth Aldo insoles yesterday for the future. But can leather insoles be smoothed out and re-adhered? Anyone have any experience with that at a cobbler?

I'll take photos when I get home. The pictures will shoe the layers of a Dicker boot if in case anyone is interested in knowing how they're made.

I really think that it will be able to be fixed. I had the same problem with one of my dickers (just one boot did it) and I was able to re glue and smooth it out myself and it is fine. It too was a mess. I can't remember if I glued - I may have used 2-way tape and it may happen again, but so far so good!!!
