Gorgeous colour!!!

Would you say that there's a green tinge to this particular shade of taupe?
My well worn taupe pair from a couple of seasons ago can look a little green sometimes and I'm considering replacing them with this season's taupe or the pale grey colour :smile1:

I don't think they have a green tinge or undertone. They are a true taupe/beige to me.

Here's a pic of me wearing them so you might be able to judge the color better?

Do you ladies think that LaGarconne's gray and NAP's taupe it is the same color? How about sizing? For half sizes LaGarconne recommends to size up while NAP recommends to size down. Quite confusing:panic: I had the opportunity to try on Jenny boots in 39 (my regular size) and hey fitted perfectly.

B, if you're a half size, I dont think you want to size down. I'm a a true 7 and 37 fits me well. So I'd say size up esp if you want to wear socks,
I think the gris from the past season (fall/winter) has green undetones, which I didnt like.
The taupe looks like a true beige... which I want as well :-)
Hopefully NaP will restock them. Will you getting them?
What do you think of Jenny's ??

Hi P. Yes, I think I will get them. Forward just got them in gray.
As far as Jenny's I ordered them last winter and wasn't impressed by the light color and awkward shaft length . They looked great on pictures.
Forward has them in camel suede and in natural leather I kind of like them:

they look so cool, don't they?
Ladies who own Jenny could you chime in and tell how they break in? did the shaft soften and become more slouchy?

I have the Jenny's and although I haven't worn them nearly as much as the Dickers, I would have to say that I'm disappointed because they are stiffer and less comfortable than the Dickers. They don't stretch much and the shaft has not become as scrunched as I would like either. But I will start wearing them again once the snow melts and hopefully they break in a bit more. I like to wear them when I don't want to wear heeled booties. I have them in taupe from last year.

thank you Jellybebe. It is interesting to hear that boots with a medium heel are more comfortable than flat ones. Would you agree that Jennys could be less comfortable because their toe box is more narrow than Dickers'?
I love the 'duck beak' toe box of Dickers:smile1:

Just curious if any of you have pictures of broken-in leather dickers. I wear my suede pairs almost every day and I've been thinking about a leather pair, but I'm not in love with how they look brand new. I'm thinking they'd look better with age? Any modeling pics of your worn leather dickers would be appreciated:D

I found this picture some time ago on the web but unfortunately I didn't save the source:

I just bought the leather ones and to be honest, they're pretty stiff, probably more than I'd like them to be. I'm hoping that over time with wear they will become softer.

I'm going to keep wearing them every day for the next few weeks and let you know how it goes (if you haven't gotten them by then).
