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 :) ).

Wow - Comey is doing veneer now too? I swear some older pairs of her ankle boots I had were real wood. Hrmph.

I got my Dickers from La Garconne which I feel like isn't as steller with customer service as NAP. I also purchased them in mid Oct 2012 - this color isn't available anymore so I don't think I could get a replacement. I purchase from NAP when I can but for whatever reason it seems La Garconne stocks more IM shoes so I've ended up ordering both pairs I own from them. If I end up getting another pair down the road I'll try and get them from NAP!

I don't know if Comey is veneer in the same sense. It looks like wood underneath, and isn't shiny. Honestly, I don't think you could tell if I took a photo. Maybe full on wood heels would be really uncomfortable? The aggravating thing is the heels on all of these shoes are described by the retailers as stacked wood. Perhaps the thing to do going forward is to ask a cobbler to put on some kind of sealant before damage is done.

It's too bad your color was discontinued. :/

^ The stock photo above (on the right) color is Grey. The one you purchased is Gris which I much prefer. Congratulation!

Now I'm more confused. I Just checked online where I ordered these from (La Garconne). The Gris are $565, the Grey are $600. I wanted the Grey and ordered those at $600+. But you are right, I received the Gris (just confirmed with the box.)

Yep, Gris and Grey are two different colors (an odd choice in naming, almost designed to confuse). I should have gotten my grey today (I prefer the light color), but at this point it looks like it will be tomorrow. I'll take pics as soon as I have them.

I think it was because Grey is new season's color and has plenty of stock. Gris is from 2012 and has been sold out -- La Garconne has only one pair left - Sz 41.

Somehow, they managed to find a 38 in Gris. :-S.

So, should I keep the Gris and ask for a price adjustment or exchange for the Grey? I'm conflicted. :-/

Something is so odd with this order. I checked the box this morning and the ID code clearly is the one for the 2013 Grey boots (it matches the code on the website) but the description is Gris.

Just got my grey. Size 38 (I'm a US 7). Fit just like last years. Color is amazing light grey to yellowish grey depending on light and the way the suede nap falls (which gives them interesting depth I tried to capture in photos). The color looks slightly more yellow than it does IRL, but the undertone is there. I love them.

They look just a bit darker than the La Garconne picture. My first photo is most accurate. I'll try to do one in sunlight. I got them shipped from a shop in Seattle to avoid the sales tax. I'm not sure who else has them aside from La Garconne and Matches. :)

You have the 2013 shoes don't worry ( i have them too from matches and they are the same as yours ). Gris means grey in french. The stock images are nothing like the actual colour, its the same for my gris bobbys too.
