Isabel Marant Boots thread!

[Maland]

Hi, Can I just ask what the sizing was like in the Jacobs? I heard they run slightly large, and have ordered down in size. I am 40 in dickers, 41 in both manly and bekket.

Hi,

I have the Manlys and Bekkets in a size 37, whereas I am a size 36 in the Jacobs, Monys and Dickers.. So I think you should definitely go for a size 40 for the Jacobs ..

Thank you so much. I just find the sizing to be so different for each style. I wish they were more consistent. can't wait for them to arrive

DO NOT ORDER FROM BARNEYS for your dicker boots!!!

I bought my caramel pair from them and they arrived DAMAGED! They're unworn (the soles) but the tops had stains all over them. I called customer service and they did nothing for me - basically told me to send them back - oh and p.s. I would have wait until they cleared the return process for my refund.

JUST AWFUL AWFUL EXPERIENCE. BUYER BEWARE!!

Hi Sam! Sorry for the late reply - I didn't see this entry until just now!

I wear a 39 in most IM - the Beketts and Manlys. Like you I went down a size in the Dickers and bought a 38 (mostly cause that's all they had). I ordered the Jacobs in 39 and they are a bit large. If I wear bare feet they are too big and I feel unstable. If I put on thick socks then they are perfect! I'd rather have a boot run slightly large than be too tight, so I stuck with the 39 (plus my left foot is bigger than my right!). Hope this helps!!

Just received my IM dicker boots in the bronze leather. My first pair of dickers. They are comfortable, but I wish the soles were a tad more sturdy. Why not cover the whole sole with a grippy rubber. I don't wanna spend the extra money to get them resoled especially since they are already $$. I do love the style and color.

I agree that we shouldn't have to do any 'extras' to these shoes considering the price. That said, I had rubber soles put on mine so I'd feel more secure. I felt like I might slip otherwise - plus, since the soles are made of leather they will run down much faster. I plan to use my Dickers a lot and want to give them a long life!

Hi Ladies,

I've been reading through this thread for a while and wanted to share my excitement that I have a pair of black suede Dickers on the way from NAP. (I already have a pair of beige Rachel Comey's I love, so this color seemed like a logical choice).

Sorry just wanted to bump in case it wasn't seen since I was at the bottom of the last page.

Congrats!! You'll love them.

Thanks for the heads up! That's not a good experience to have!

Thank you for everyone's help. I have ordered the same size as my Dickers (size 40)
If they don't fit, at least I will save some money towards the lovely Berry! (that's if I can get hold of a pair)
I was saving for a coat, but I just can't seem to leave IM boots alone. My poor bank balance. If I'm not careful, on my next purchase, the screen will come up with a flashing warning and say P*** OFF, YOU ARE OFFICIALLY BANNED.
Ah, life and then there's shoes....

I posted this on the IM thread on Wardrobe, but thought I it would be appreciated if I also posted it here.

Oh no, I'm so sorry this happened. I wonder what happened to them? You would think they would have checked the shoes before shipping them out. There isn't a way they could contact IM for a replacement for you since they should be under warranty?

If worse comes to worse and you cannot find a helpful SA at Barneys. Perhaps contact IM directly and see if they will help you by replacing them for another pair? Tell them your story?

I would be very careful about this site. It looks like they sell fake IM.

What type of boots did you buy?

Barney's offered to do nothing for me. I even waited on hold while I nicely asked for a supervisor. When the representative came back she told me I couldn't speak to a supervisor because they couldn't do anything for me. Also they said Barney's doesn't "do" exchanges (?!?!?!?). My only option was to return the damaged boots and place a new order for the same boots. I told them thanks but no thanks, I would re-order from a vendor that valued my business and didn't send out damaged goods.

Honestly I'm still in a little shock that a luxury retailer would be so rude - but it's their loss. I'll never buy from them again - and I purchase a lot from high end retailers. Oh well.

Sorry to hear about your bad experience. It is true that they don't do exchanges-it's their policy and they should change it. I know they have been helpful in the past with me and do a check on their inventory. They can track down another pair for you and have the store mail them out. GL!

Barney's doesn't do exchanges? I buy from the store all time and never have issues with returns or exchanges!!! Weird...
