Thanks eilene, so we are gris twins.
You are right, it depends on the lighting. It sometimes looks gris as shown in my pics and sometimes it has a brownish hint in it. Asphalte bal moto is a gorgeous color too.

Thanks eilene, so we are gris twins.

I saw 2 pairs of size 37, and they both looked greenish (instead of brownish like the 38 I saw)
No, I do not hunk they look cheap in person - they look very well and, believe me, I am picky. I did not think they were tight in the toes, quite roomy, but I do have reasonably narrow feet. It is just the pitch... Killing me, I could walk a bit in them, but not really for extended distance. I do wear high heels, but these would not work for, also prob because heel is thin, so not much support.
Thanks!! Yeah I'm worried about the heel height..If the cone heeled version comes out before my pre-order is shipped, I may opt for those..but we'll see.
Am really gutted - tried Milaukee boots on weekend (was really waiting for them to come out) and (besides crazy price of £900) realised that heel is too high for me, probably 1cm too high to be able to really get good use out of them, so a "NO". Beautiful boots... Fot those who are interested, the do fit tts.
My understanding is that the cone version is 3.5 inches high and the heel version is 4-4.5inches. So, if you loved the Milwaukee but need something lower then the Memphis might work!!!
Yeah, you are so right! I was being unrealistic thinking I could handle the high heel of the Milwaukee. Just tried on my 4 in heels and I don't think I can do much higher than 4 inches for any length of time (plus I'm super tall and dont need the added height
). I canceled my Milwaukee pre-order and will keep an eye out for the Memphis. At first I didn't like the style of the Memphis, but they have really grown on me and now I really do like them. Anyone know where they are expected to drop? MyTheresa I think, right? Anywhere else?
Just received my Jenny's from NAP, I was worried about sizing, but I got the same size as my Dickers and it's fine...pheww! So now I have 3 pairs of Dickers and 1 Jennys: please convince me that they're more than enough,lol!!!
It's more than enough, duna, btw, which Dickers colors and which do you wear most or as people like to say, What is your "go to" pair or your fave? I can't pick a color....and need advice! Is the camel too yellow this season? Is the black the most wearable and how is the heel color on the black?

I haven't bought any Dickers this season, so I haven't seen any IRL. I have the Miel from a couple of years ago, the sage and the dark grey (I can't remember their actual names) from last year. I have worn the Miel most of all since they were my first ones, but I also wear the others a lot. The dark grey (almost black) has a light colored heel like the others. From pics on NAP this year's black also has a light colored heel. I have had the cobbler put rubber soles on all my Dickers, as they have very thin soles and I want them to last as long as possible!
I have this season's gris and camel. I don't find the camel being too yellow. I'm happy I bought gris as well. It's a grey colour with a brown undertone. Because I wear a lot of dark colours gris is the one I wear most.
I saw the black but I think the heel colour is too big of a contrast to the black suede. The heel is to light for my liking. But that's just me!
I have the camel from this season and I don't find them too yellow. They have just enough "pop" to make them interesting.
I also have the khaki from this season and between the camel and khaki - my eye likes the camel more - the khaki has a teeny hint of green which bothers me.
HTH.

I have gotten worried with so many saying they look cheap IRL. But, the mod pics posted on the clothing thread of the Milwaukees made me feel better since the Memphis will be very similar (minus the ankle strap). I only know about MyTheresa. Other than that they are a mystery!! Must be lots of small boutiques in Europe that we can't access! Most online retailers only offered the Berrys. LVR had the Memphis but sold out long ago. Once pre-orders are shipped they may start to show a few as returns come in? i like LVR bc they have great international shipping and retunr policies. I just read MyTheresa's and it scared me!!
uh oh! explains the delay.
Does anyone know if Memphis boots run true to size or are they small like Dana/Sailor boots? Anyone know where to pre-order in Europe yet? TIA!
