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.

Thanks for confirming! :-) I was beginning to think I got the right ones after I saw Arya's photos. They looked like mine. I wish the stock photos showed the true colour. Would be a lot less confusing. ;-p

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.

I love the color!
I'm a US 7 and always took a size 37 in dicker. This seasons dicker runs smaller or have you always taken a 38?

Although Gris does mean Grey in French, there does seem to be some difference in Grey and Gris! I have phoned almost every IM stockist in the UK this morning just to try and clarify! From what I've been told Grey is a lighter shade and Gris is slightly deeper in tone. Then I actually saw together both, Grey Bobbys which were darker than Grey Dickers!!!??? I believe the Grey Bobbys and Dickers are new this seaon, whereas Gris was definitely available last summer, as I bought Gris Dickers then. I may be wrong but this is what I saw/was told!!! One assistant also told me that what is ordered as Grey, sometimes has Gris on the box (yes, Gris translates to Grey but surely if there are two different shades, they should have different colour names???). I know I ordered Basleys from NAP and when I ordered it said Gris in the description but green when I checked out and paid. When they arrived they were Sage Green! I contacted NAP and it now says Sage Green in the description! One thing is for sure, it is VERY confusing!!!

Usually any European designer is cheaper in Europe than the US, I bought Dickers once from a store in SF and they were definitely more expensive than in the UK and MiuMiu was when I purchased in Jeffreys NY, again hope this helps and it is only my experience!

I ordered some Basleys from NAP on Sunday and missed the delivery from DHL yesterday. I waited in all day today and DHL still haven't delivered so I checked the tracking of my parcel and its 'on hold' whatever that means! It's too late to call them them tonight and I have to work tomorrow morning.

Because I'm an awkward 1/2 size I went down to a 5 coz the boots look soft and I don't want them too slouchy and slipping off my foot. Having checked NAP just in case I will need to exchange them (when they finally arrive!) the 6 are sold out!

I really hope my boots arrive tomorrow and fit me!

You did re-book the delivery with DHL? Just saying as I think that's what it says until you do, if they've attempted delivery. I'm a 36. which I ordered and they fit like my Dickers, maybe some size 6 will be returned if they don't fit you. I returned mine as I wanted Gris (or anthracite) not Green, otherwise I liked them.

I'll ring the depot and maybe collect from them. They didn't leave me a card which they usually do and they are suppose to try another delivery the next day so I'm not sure what the problem is? Oh we'll, I'll get them soon.

Yes I hope they do fit but I have a bad feeling they will be too small. I might be lucky and someone returns a 6...I hope so. It just seem near impossible to get IM boots/sneakers coz they sell out and never return to the websites..Then again I may not like the green coz like you I really fancied the gray....:sad:

Oh, in my area you have to re-book as they only attempt delivery twice, good luck with the size! The ones they sent to me definitely looked more green but it was so weird how the description had said Gris but on checkout it said Green and now it's changed on the site to Sage Green!! You probably know La Garconne have Gris but of course they'll be more expensive, don't think I want them that much as I got some Bobby's in Gris today, so I may try and get them in Anthracite. Hope they work out for you.

Yes, they seem to be the same as last year's. My foot may be in between a 7 and a 7.5 (I have pairs of both). Although I thought FR 38=7?

I think there has always been a confusion whether they are FR or EU. The fit like EU to me. I wear a US size 7 and my size 37 dicker boots slip a little after stretching. They were a tiny bit snug when I first got them, but they stretched after one wear. I don't wear thick socks with them.
I have Berry & Milwauke boots in a 37 too.

It could be that a 37 would fit me too. I've never tried that size on. I really love the grey. I keep looking at my feet when I wear them. (My box says "Gris" as well). :)

Yes, its' possible. I love the grey too! The look close to the original taupe. My biggest regret is finding a size 38 in the original taupe and not buying it. I could have always used inserts.
