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!

I just checked the Barneys description and it says "distressed leather". Weird the price went from $595 to $650. Anyway, my mistake for not reading the fine print, I thought it was the same suede as my older pair. I would say these are more like the smooth leather. It is suede to the touch but not soft at all. The leather is stiff and there is no velvety feel to them. I still prefer the suede, the softness makes walking easier for me

For those of you who have the black Caleen boots, is the black dye rubbing off the boot? And if yes for how long?

Hi there! I have had the black Caleens for about a month (and LOVING them!) There was black dye on the inside of the box, but so far no dye has worn off on my skin or pants - and I've worn them in hot weather too. I did spill water on them and rubbed it off with a towel, and when I rubbed hard some dye came off on the towel. But seems like you have to work at it in my case.

As a side note, the "distressed leather" does not seem to be treated to resist water and these could water stain. On my boots, it just added to the distressed look, but I will be treating them before I wear them in any sort of wet weather.

Thanks so much for the info. I own the brown caleens and the leather is different from the black. (now going in search of a pair in black on sale.............;) )

I have had two pairs of black Caleens sent from two different companies (the first was the wrong size). The first pair that I received the dye was rubbing off terribly - on the box, the shoe bags, my fingers - you name it. The second pair that I received (and kept) is much better - hardly any dye has worn off them. I think it may partially be a function of some lots being more prone to dye-transfer than others.

Uggg...That is so frustrating. Makes me crazy when there is no quality control. On an $800+ pair of boots how hard can it be to get the amount of dye right???
