Both are beautiful! Did u try them? Are they comfy? Where did u find them, it's difficult to get them in Europe!

I am so happy! I have been lusting over the Dickers for ages now, but really wanted either the black (for winter to wear with leggings) or new season taupe-grey.

I was just browsing Matches and came across the taupe-grey pair and quickly ordered them without a moment's hesitation!

I am normally a 38.5, and I ordered the 39. The sizing advice is so inconsistent everywhere. NAP says to order half a size down for people who wear half sizes, while Matches says to go half a size up.

I went with Matches' advice, as I figure it will be a lot easier and more comfortable to add an insole, than to have to stretch the boots if they are too small.

I can't wait to receive them. They are such a great price on Matches! Only AU $440, and I found a free shipping code, so saved myself $45 on shipping.

If only they had the black in stock too, I probably would have bought the black also. La Garconne has the black in 39, but they are more expensive.

Congrats! Hope u send some modeling pics! I would like to know how the grey look in the neutral light!
I have the black ones and love them!

No I didn't!trying to guess the size comparing with the other marant shoes I have!I have been looking all day around the web,ebay and all the other sites that usually carries them(la garconne,matches,youheshe,jonathan and olivia)..writing mails..they are hard to find!even on ebay..do you have them?

This is the same boot...correct?
I own berry red/black and love them! Worth every penny IMO

Here is Halle Berry wearing them.

YEYYYY just bought mine on jonathanandolivia.com,I think I found a good deal!600 euro shipping included..they should have size 39 and 36 left...great deal also on finluca V (they charge 590) but they only accept bank transfer..in case some of you is still looking..

Thanks for that Poppys Style I think I'm going to go for the size 40, as I'd rather put insoles and wear thick socks than be in pain! What colour do you have?

I plunged and bought both the camel and black this season LaGarconne.com has a preview of the colors next season and they are charging $600 - there is grey and anthracite (looks black) from what I can see...

Interesting. I have the pistol boot also in size 41 and the Dicker fits me perfectly in size 41. Usually I wear a size 42. Maybe it's the shape of them too that makes a difference.

The pistol was narrow to start with but the leather is so soft it has stretched quite a bit - I could barely get my foot in the 38 Dicker...- I have really high arches though

I was tempted to pre-order the grey. My dicker boots are the most comfortable shoes I own. I love them! I've purchased cheaper- similar style boots, but they do not compare in the comfort dept.

I hope they are worth it! I ordered black leather that should be here in a few days

Hi girls,
I recently bought a pair of dicker boots off Matchesfashion.com. I live in Canada and ended up paying another $140 upon delivery. I guess it was part of DHL's processing, duties, taxes, etc. But is that normal?? I had the option to select the type of currency (choices were USD$, EUR, and Pounds sterling)

Matches estimated rates were:

EUR = $395 CAN$
POUNDS STERLING = $460 CAN$
US = $540 CAN

I selected the EUR exchange, since it looked like it would cost me less - that ended up translating to $410 CAN$ after conversion with VISA. With another $140 collected upon delivery, the whole purchase cost me $550 CAN$. Are these charges normal??

Also, what are VAT? Can I apply to get any $ back? Thanks for any advice/input you guys can give me! (I am going to post this on the other thread too)

Yes, the charges are normal. Matches sells on a DDU (duty delivery unpaid) basis so you have to pay taxes and any applicable customs duties when the package enters Canada.

VAT is value added tax. The Matches price is generally VAT free. No you can't apply to get it back.

Selecting the currency exchange is irrelevant. The differences are pretty small & are dependent on how strong CAN $ is. You'll still get charged conversion & international transaction fees by your CC.

Yes, unfortunately for living in Canada, ordering from Mytheresa, matches, etc we pay up the nose in duties charges. NAP, Outnet, and Shopbop pre-charges you duty so you know up front how much you pay and its quicker shipping. Still lots in Duties. But I do enjoy Farfetch & Luisaviaroma because they "include" duty in their pricing. Yoox I have ordered before and never got charged duty and with Bluefly, they give you the option of paying Duty COD and I've lucked in purchases where I only paid GST and not duty. Depends on what side of the bed the customs officer woke up on, I guess.

If you live in Vancouver, my friend that lives there has a US mailbox/mailing address and she drives cross border ~Surrey to check her "mail" once a week.

Ladies, a little help here, anyone know where I can get a pair of the Black/Blue Berry Boots in the States? TIA!!

 

[am2022]

After all the hype on marant boots and everybody ordering their pair, can we do a second wind kind of review on
Pros , cons sizing comfort design etc?
I know lazios are classics !
But how about the Memphis , Berry owners?
How is the quality and design? Were they easy to match
And no regrets in buying them considering the price point?
Reason is I have both a pair of berry and Memphis on hold for me and trying to decide !!!
Thanks ladies !!
