I was lucky to pick up these IM boots at a massively reduced price recently. I think this may be a model from a few years ago; it's called Zand. The sizing is smaller than the sizing of the Dickers and Dixies from recent seasons. This is the same size as my Dickers but it feels like a size smaller. I think they will stretch to be an OK fit on me though.
Elaine: is your gris happen to be a size 38?
I think there are 2 'different' kinds of Gris..one is the greyish brownish (which I adore!), and one is the greyish greenish.
The reason I am saying this is because:
I first ordered the gris in size 38. When it came, I fell in love with the gris color, it looked so beautiful, a dark grey with a hint of brown.. so pretty, not to mention the suede felt & looked so luxurious! But sadly they were too big for me!
So I ordered the 37 Gris. I received them in a couple of days and was surprised to see that the color is very different! The difference is quite obvious as I compared them side by side.
The suede gris in size 37 felt different, it was not as thick / luxurious as the 38 gris.
And 37 gris definitely has a green undertone.
Oh I am soooo dissapointed.. I really want the greyish - brownish combo!!
Thanks Beaux. I must look out for Rachel Comey. I think she may not make shoes large enough for me.
Elaine, interesting what you say about the leather. I love the leather on these Zand boots. It's thick with a slight sheen and incredibly soft. I haven't actually tried the leather Dickers from this season so can't compare the leather.
My cognac Dixies are suede. Here is a pic of my cognac next to my chocolate ones (which I bought to replace the cognac when they wear out. I live in them and the Dixie boot was only made for one season).
And here's a modeling pic. The lower heel and wider opening of the Dixie is great with pants, not so good with shorts of skirts. I prefer the Dicker with bare legs.

Yes I checked all boxes and they all said Gris.
So did you end up with a different color, B ?P, As far as I remember the greyish brownish Gris is from fall/winter 2011 and the other one is from current season. I was going to buy the first one last fall but I missed the boat
...Interesting observation...i just took a closer look online...not sure it's just the sz37 (my size)...but apparently there are two tones of gris..one is warmer and one is cooler...
just to throw it out there...last season i got the anthracite and one shoe is darker than the other...
but i am not very picky about color...they don't matter to me that much....
Interesting observation...
Just curious, Which site were you looking at?
Thanks!
