I have the opportunity to purchase the Dickers in Camel

However, I've been recently loving the grey-taupe pair thats completely sold out everywhere! (grey-taupe pair is the one below)

So I need some advice: should I purchase the camel's or should I try to wait until spring/summer to see if anywhere gets the grey-taupe pair back in stock?

May I ask where you purchased the camel from? I've been hunting for this color!!
Thanks!

Are these new? If so, I'd ask for an exchange, regarding the dye wearing off, the insoles that are dirty, obviously! and the dents in the leather. I have quite a few IM boots/shoes/sandals and I have never had so many issues on one pair of shoes, a bit of dye wearing off after a few wears, but never when they were brand new.
BTW, Congrats! Exchange it, ok?

My Jennys are quite distressed too but you can tell the distressing is man made -- quite uniform and deliberate. I'm guessing at least one of your boots was on display and tried on by customers. I would exchange it if possible. Hopefully it's not the last pair in your size! Good luck.

hi ladies, just received my first IM boots today and it's a Jenny in black calf leather :smile1:

i just need your opinions on a few things, and pls free to tell me if i'm being too OC :p


1. you can see that the inside sole looks dirty. this is only on one shoe. the other appears to be ok.

2. i also found a few quite deep dents on the leather. i have marked those in the photo so you can see.

3. the dye appears to be coming off as well. the box it came with is full of smudges (i believe this will fix itself after a few wears so not a biggie really)

4. the sole has a few scratches.


so jenny boots owners, are these normal and typical for the jennys? i really really like it but if you think i need to get a replacement pair i want to be able to do it the soonest so i can start wearing 'em :smile1:

appreciate your help! cheers :heart:

My new Jennies are just like that too. I actually like them this way-I don't have to feel responsible for messing them up :) Mine are a bit tight, so I will need to stretch them out a little, otherwise I just love them.

Others don't bother me at all except the 1st picture (dirty inside sole).

I purchased my first pair of Dickers....not impressed. I know that it was supposed to be suede but it looked more like cardboard painted black, even the sole of the shoe had weird marks on them. Did I just get a bad pair? I cannot imagine all the fuss if this is what the rest of you are purchasing. I took them back and purchased some Rag and Bone Harrow boots.

It sounds like you got the distressed/textured suede (new this season) instead of the fluffy suede version from previous seasons. I wasn't impressed with the new distressed finish either.

Sorry about your disappointment but the Harrows are a great boot too!

Hi, I was hoping someone could answer a couple of questions regarding the Dicker. I am debating between the rag and bone Harrow or the Dicker. Where I am leaning towards the Dicker is the lower heel. Seeing as I live in a city where it is impossible to try it on before purchase, can someone tell me if the Dickers are really comfortable? How does the suede hold up after wearing? Sizing wise, I am a true 5.5, would the 36 work on me? Also, color wise is this the Gris -http://www.lagarconne.com/store/item.htm?itemid=18594&sid=&pid=
How does the lighter suedes hold up as far as showing any marks and such? I would like a versatile color, seeing as the boots are quite pricey. Sorry for all the questions and TIA!
