I always wear my usual european size 38 in Isabel Marant shoes and boots & I find IM 38 equates to a US 7 1/2 - to 8 depending on the particular shoe.
I'd say the Caleen 38 is closer to a US 8 than 7 1/2 so on the generous side for Isabel Marant shoes. If you have Dicker boots the Caleen runs a little bigger than Dickers.

Thank you so much for your reply, your boots are lovely!:smile1:

Does anyone know if the "soft black" Dickers on NAP is actually the Anthracite color from SS13, which is more of a dark grey with a bluish undertone? I was told IM did not make a black for SS13, so I was curious if anyone here's bought the ones from NAP. Thanks!

I have the anthracite color from last SS12 and they are definitely a lighter, almost a faded black. I can't tell if "soft black" is different, but they do look a bit darker than the ones I have from last year. I think you might be right, that IM did not make a true black for SS13, but IM did have almost a jet black this past fall. I personally think the off-black colors look amazing (better than the jet black).

My boots arrived and they are beautiful and just the perfect style for me but I'm very disappointed with the quality of the outsole... Really not worth the price tag.
This is how they look after wearing them once. I will take them straight to the cobbler.

I don't think it's the quality, but the soles and heels are super slippery anyway. I've taken both of my dickers to the cobbler when after the first few wears.

Thanks for your comment. Yes, as you said they are super slippery but I don't think they shouldn't look so worn after 1 wear. Nonetheless I am happy, the boots are comfy and lightweight and have the perfect shade of black.

Hi! Dumb question but, what will you ask the cobbler to do? I may need to do the same as my soles look like yours and I've never taken my shoes in for repair.

TIA.

Np :) I will ask him to resole the shoes with rubber or some other anti slip material for a better grip and protection of the shoe because the original soles are unsafe and too thin.

Does anyone have a pair of the Kylie pumps? I am thinking about snapping up a pair while they are on sale and still around. Wondering if they are comfortable though, looks narrow...TIA

I have a pair and they're relatively comfy. I mean, they do feel like the 4" heels that they are. I got the Kylies by accident and what I was really looking for I think were called the Kyles and it's basically the exact same court shoe except 3".

So far everytime I've worn my Kylies someone has stopped me in the street to compliment them.
