Hello everyone. I'm new here and i have a question about the dicker boots. I bought them yesterday but because the sole is so thin i'm considering taking them to the shoemaker straight away.

Do you take them to the shoemaker immediately after buying or do you wait untill you see the sole is getting a bit worn?

Thanks in advance :)

I've searched trough the forum and saw a few questions from others about re-soling the boots so i took them to the cobbler and hopefully he makes them look good. Thanks!

I just got these black leather Jennys today. Will check if mine also have the same situation with the dye rubbing off. Did you notice it instantly or only after wearing them for some time. I tried them on twice and did not notice any dye rubbing off yet.

Hi I have two pairs of Dickers and only took them to a cobbler after wearing them for a few months. However, I would advise to take them to the cobbler directly, they can put an extra protective sole. After I had mine back from the cobbler they were a lot more comfortable to wear. The soles are indeed very thin. So I think you did the right thing! Enjoy your new Dickers, these booties are the best! :smile1:

How thick were the soles they added? Do you have a photo?

Does anyone own the Taupe from last season & the Gris from this one? I'm wondering how similar the colors are. If someone would post comparison photos that'd be great. Thx. :-)

I have Taupe from last season and I went to the shop in Soho to look at the new colors. Gris looked very similar to taupe to me, it definitely has a brownish/greenish cast to it. I was hoping it would have more of a blue/charcoal tone because I would have bought them them.

Thanks for your reply. That's good to know. I've read Gris is supposedly "grey". I will for sure pass now. Blue/Charcoal would've been awesome.

Yikes! I just clicked on this thread! These are the boots I was going to order this week... was deciding between the leather and suede and really like the look of the leather ones...

Do you think you will keep them Julieose?

Is it really really bad like you can't even wear them with gray skinnies without black marks on your pants?

I don't know how thick they are, maybe 2 mm? I took two pics of the protective soles. My apologies for the dirty soles. I've walked many miles on these shoes. :smile1: Anyway, I hope these pics are useful. I find that the dickers are a lot comfier to walk on with the protective soles.

Ladies,

I need some help. I cant decide between the black leather or black suede dickers. Any advice?

Thanks

I love the suede. I just got the leather & while they are very nice...there is something about the suede. I'm sending back my leather for now & may be buying them when it is closer to winter. I might end up getting the brown ones
as I like the color variation on those.

Okay. Here is my story:
I ordered 2 pairs of Dickers from NAP. They just came (literally 10 minutes ago). I ordered a camel in 38 and a 39. I usually wear a pretty true 8 (except in Lanvin flats and Tory Burch flats, then a 38.5)

ANYWAY...I figured once I got both sizes, it'd be easy to say "yup this is the best fit". Well it isn't!

The 38's feel good barefoot. I could not wear a sock with them. They might feel a tad tight through the width on the left footh.

The 39's feel much looser. When I wear them with a sock, the heel slips when I walk.

So....should the heel slip? Do they stretch?

I am so confused. :cry::cry:

On another note, I ordered the khaki from LG a week ago and have heard boo from them. Emailed them to change my order, nothing. How in the world do you get intouch with them?
