i thought i read about it in this thread. but it happened soon after she bought them. and NAP exchanged a new pair for her.
I think it's probably been way too long to exchange and they're fw12 khaki which of course isn't sold now. I really wish the Dickers had real wood heels! I supposed eventually when they get super beat up I'll try and get a cobbler to work some magic.
Wearing my dickers - so far no issues with the heel! Hopefully that won't ever happen to my pair
That was me. I had them for a month, and NAP sent me a new pair, which I've had now 6 months or so and no problem (I am also in NYC and walk a lot). I think some pairs the wood veneer comes off easier than others. When I first posted about it, there were a couple replies expressing disbelief/real wood. So I'm guessing some/most people might not realize it is an veneer (I know I didn't until it wore off) suggesting it isn't a common issue, maybe?
I wonder if it has anything to do with the way I walk. I mean I scrape the inside of the heel by accident when walking up stairs, etc, and slowly the veneer is chipping off there. Attaching a photo. The outer part of the heel is mostly fine, no big blemishes. I do remember your pic, seeing the chip on the outer portion. Mine were good for a couple of months, pretty much spotless, then I started to notice the wear. I can live with it but I wonder how they'll look in a year. Can anyone who's been wearing the same pair at least 2-3 times a week for several months chime in on how they've held up?
Of course this probably won't prevent me from buying another pair when I wear them out. Though I wish the heel was wood I find every other aspect of them perfect. I mostly alternate them with my Pistols and Loeffler Randall rain booties on bad weather days, so they are definitely workhorse shoes for me and I don't treat them too preciously.

Anyone knows where can I buy IM sneakers? I want to order them ,but can't find anywhere ,they r not in stock
I saw some at nm in dallas today...didn't pay attention to which ones tho...sorry!
Can you tell me how the Jenny boot fits? Does it fit small like most of the IM shoes? I'm a 40 in Dicker and Bobby but definitly a 41 in Bekkett. Should I order the Jenny in 40 or 41?
yup, just needed to be broken in. but i also had my cobbler stretch the toe area a little bit. it definitely worked!
I'd like to know too! What is the sizing for the Jenny boot? I take a US size 7 , so would the size be 37 or 38? I'm confused because some European websites list the french size 38 as a US size 7.
That would really bug me! At$600 USD- it's really not acceptable. What can you do to get them fixed or replaced?
Not sure! I do think the price doesn't match the quality, unfortunately. But I've experienced this with other high end brands too, sigh. I suppose a cobbler could eventually redo the veneer when it's truly beaten up. You don't see the splitting when I'm wearing them but yeah, still annoying! That said I received my Bobby sneakers today and my bf who's a shoe designer was quite impressed with the quality of those.
Where did you purchase? It's possible they will replace. NAP asked me no questions when I returned mine. I think if the color was just the same underneath it wouldn't be nearly as big a deal. I just noticed my Comey's are peeling a bit but you really have to look closely to see it (yes, I have an ankle boot problem
).
