For those of you ladies who want the Caleen in a non-studded version, looks like the Cluster (leather version) and the Crisi (suede version) are it.

Silly on my part, I've been stalking this forum for a while regarding sizing on Dickers and reading all about the Caleens that I JUST realized that there is a hidden wedge in the Caleens. That is a clincher for me.

Love that little bit of height the wedge gives for a short girl like me .. and how nice it makes one's calves look :p .. I think I'll be lusting after the Cluster and Crisi now since I'm more of a non studded fan too.

La Garconne also has a knee high hidden wedge boot! I wonder how that one looks. http://www.lagarconne.com/store/item.htm?itemid=21261&sid=1233&pid=1233

Can anyone direct me in terms of sizing? I am 38 in both bobby and betty sneakers, and the 37 dicker boot fits just a little tight, and 38 fits a little loose, so I don't know which one to pick! They are the new fall 2013 bronze "velvet leather" (suede with nubuck texture)... Will they stretch out? Wondering if a cobbler can stretch them to be 1/4 size larger? I literally have to decide by tomorrow! Thank you everyone in advance!!

Couldn't believe more people didn't take advantage of the Dickers on clearance combined with the 4th of July promo on La Garconne. I picked up the cognac leather pair for about $365 after tax, lovvvvee.

I just sent my bronze leather Dickers back. I found that the smooth leather ones were nowhere near as comfy for me as the velvet suede. I just ordered the bronze velvet suede ones instead. Lucky you that these worked out for you - enjoy!

Agreed! Just got mine in "Noir" or black as I like to call it. So hard to find mod photos of the leather Dickers because everyone seems to have the suede. I'm happy with them though, they are super cute and seem very comfortable as well :smile1:

Don't know if you decided yet.. but I saw the 37 because from what I've read and heard.. they'll stretch out.

I wonder if the leather differs at all? I found the leather very soft on my cognac pair. I do have a suede pair in khaki from last fall that I've worn to death, happy to have options now!

Hi ladies! I am looking to purchase the Caleen boots, but I'm unsure as to what size I should take. I am a 39 in Beketts (the right foot was originally tight, but they have since loosened up), so should I purchase the Caleen in a 39 too? I'm usually a US 8.5 and generally size up when it comes to EU sizing to a 39. The option of purchasing two sizes would be a bit difficult, so I'm hoping to guess right the first time! Thank you for your help!

I sent the bronze leather back for the same reason! Then I ordered the off black suede from Barneys but the suede is not nearly as soft as my Gris ones from 1.5 years ago. Please let us know if the bronze suede is soft to your liking. I wonder if the suede material has changed.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who finds the smooth leather Dickers uncomfortable. Are the off black ones that you ordered the new 'textured leather' for fall? I was going to order those but wasn't sure if they were closer to the velvet suede or the smooth leather. I will report back when I get my bronze suede ones!
