If you wear a lot of brown I think camel will really just POP as a nice shot of neutral color whereas maybe the khaki will look very subdued. Depends if you want the boots to be a stronger focus or a little more subtle against your clothing.

thank you... i went ahead and ordered the camel... they are back in stock on NAP in camel and black... i have ordered many times previously from them as opposed to La Garconne (who had khaki)... i have never heard negative things from LG, but know NAP ikwim... i was thinking about ordering both, but will start with the camels and see how they fit etc... thank you for input! :smile1:

I just did some quick googling and came up with some information:


-From MetaFilter

Also I saw some forums that mentioned Carnauba Cream as well. However this is a step by step from MetaFilter:

WOW thank you for all the information!!! I am going to think about whether I want to try to fix the dye leakage, or return them. I really do NOT want to return them. The quality is actually amazing, if I could just get the dye to stop coming off. I am a little weary of trying saddle soap, but I can test on the inside of the boot! thanks for the advice!!!:D

Julie, they look lovely. Thanks for the pictures. I'd love to grab a pair as well but I don't think any of the local shops have ordered the leather version. :-(

And sorry, I can't help you with your question about the Jenny boots. Hope somebody else can. I'd contact the retailer you purchased them from. Please post some pics, I'd love to see what the black jenny looks like worn.

Yes! I thought it was just me!
My noirs are a pinch tighter (I'm guessing because they're stiffer) than last seasons' taupe!
Maybe it's to keep the heat in for the fall weather? No idea... But oh well.

also, Julierose, I'm surprised! But can't help you there, sorry! I know in the past my black balenciaga bag and another black marc jacobs bag have run, but it was only because i got caught in a huge downpour... I didn't call either of the stores a- because they're a few seasons old now and b- because i think it was the rain/my fault, but I would call IM/wherever you purchased from.

HEY GUYS!! I contacted Barneys and they told me that this is a problem with ALL THE BLACK LEATHER JENNY BOOTS. I was told that I should wear black socks and black pants with them until the dye stops coming off! Imagine? My salesgirl told me that several girls called her to tell her that their feet were black after wearing the boots! I think the finish on the boots is really over saturated. There is even dye on the soles of the boots. Here are some photos. I think I may try to see if a cobbler or leather shop can treat them to stop the dye from coming off. I also got some great advice in my thread about using saddle soap and then conditioner. I am gonna maybe test the inside first if I decide to try that. But this is a lot of work for a pair of boots that COST SO MUCH! Don't you think???

^^^ Yes I agree, what a pain. But it is a lovely boot and the black will probably wear off eventually. But not what you want from a shoe that is so expensive. Thanks for posting an update.

Im sure the dye will eventually stop coming off. I used to ride horses in high school and my new riding boots would do the same thing. My boots never looked discolored or anything. I think that this is pretty normal and will eventually stop.:smile1:

oh gosh, i'm sorry to hear that!

i know the frustration- i purchased a pair of rag and bone boots over the winter holidays, and literally when i was trying them on (my mum purchased them for me from NAP so this was like a month after the purchase date) the zipper pull flew right off on both sides. I have like no arm muscles, so it's not like it was exactly my fault for being insanely strong. I didn't contact NAP, but I went to Rag and Bone and complained and they said they couldn't do anything because I didn't purchase from them, they were $600 boots. I ended up spending another $100 getting the zipper fixed on my own, then obviously while this was going on, they went on sale for $300. UGH. what a disaster that was. I know rag and bone is contemporary and less prestigious than IM, but still when you spend upwards of $500 on boots, you expect some more care from a company than "too bad."

At least you don't have to spend $100 getting them fixed though!! :flowers:

Yes 39 was good fits perfect with thin socks, a little loose without it! I think I want a suede pr too! I got the smooth leather blk.
