Ladies,

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

Thanks

I have the black suede and love them. I think dickers look better in suede!

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?

I think if you are a true 8, and from your description of how they fit, you should keep the size 38. I don't find that dickers run small at all - in fact they are quite long. They do stretch out a bit as well. Unless you want to wear a thick sport-type sock with them, I'd keep the 38s.
I called LG to cancel my pre-order - they are slow to respond to emails.

Do you wear your dickers with socks? I live in MN so it's cold in winter but I'm inside all the time.

I wear them with a thin ankle sock - I live in California though where it's not quite so cold :)

I would keep the 38's for sure. The suede stretches. After just a few times wearing them they become so comfortable.

Plus if you wear leather with out socks the inside will start coming apart. I don't know the name of the inside sole part, but your toes will start messing it up. Something to do with moisture & glue.

I would stick with the 38! Any slippage in the boot will cause the leather insole to scrunch and eventually come off completely, I speak from experience and I think this has happened to a few people as well. Speaking from experience I would wear thin little footsie socks (normal socks are noticeable). Enjoy the boots! They will stretch in no time I'm sure!

Exactly! Just as runningbird said.

I have to offer a differing opinion on this--I suggest you go with the 39s. I have a pair of dickers that only fit barefoot and another pair that are a size larger, with heel slippage. Over the course of a year, the smaller pair has not stretched much at all. They fit perfectly barefoot, but I cannot fit even a thin sock or Terry cloth insole. I find it uncomfortable to wear them barefoot in hot weather, and if my feet swell even slightly, they become tight. I prefer the larger pair, because I can wear socks in cooler weather or a Terry cloth insole in warmer weather. I think it's better to go slightly larger because if the slippage is really that bad you can wear thicker socks or wear both an insole and sock. I thought the pair that was smaller would be fine, but over time I've really come to regret not giving myself some wiggle room.

Hi everyone just received my IM sneakers can I ask I've been checking online regarding fakes I bought mine from gebnegozionline.com it say that the original ones have a genuine Leather verification tag sewn on the fastener mine does have a genuine leather verification tag but it's not sewn on ?? Also the colour is rubbing off a little on the inside of the sneaker I got the red ones has only else had the same? This website that I bought that from seems ligit but just a little concerned.

I have the same view as Puppynapper. I am a true size 8. I wear 8 in sandals and sockless shoes and 8.5/39 in boots. Last season I purchased the Dickers in a 38 and 39 to try. The 38s touched my toes and the 39s felt a bit roomier than I liked. I ultimately went with the 39s, and I'm glad I did. I put in those soles that you cut to size like so:

Now my Dickers are the most comfortable boots I own. I wouldn't have been able to fit insoles in the 38s for sure. The suede does stretch some, but the insoles help a lot and make the boots nice and cushy!

I posted this in the accessories thread as well --

THANK you from the bottom of my heart for all the replies. seriously, i am so glad you all chimed in. It helped greatly! I tried the boots on again today...and I think the 38 is the way to go. I am hoping they will stretch just a tiny in the width part. The length is okay. The 39's are just pretty darn roomy.

so again - THANK YOU!!!!

On a side note - I am going to post a picture later of the 2 pairs of camel dickers side by side. I was amazed how different the colors are and even the suede is different. The 39's felt more lush. so weird.

Received my black leather dickers today. I am a true 7.5 and the 38 fit perfectly. I was worried they would be more loose then my suede 38's from a couple of years ago - but they seem to have accounted for the difference in the leathers as the smooth leather dickers seem cut pretty trim - TTS.

You're welcome :). I am sure they will stretch out a bit in width as you wear them.
Interesting how the suede is different on your two pairs!

I finally ordered the dickers in camel and received them today from NAP. I normally wear 37 and the 37 fits perfectly. It's snug around the width at the moment but I'm sure the leather will soften up after a few wears. There's still a bit of room around the toebox. The camel is quite gorgeous! I'm so happy I got them. Now I want the gris. :blushing:
