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!

Although I cannot help you on questions of wear as my gris Dickers are still fairly new, I do also have the Rag and Bone Harrow boot. Yes, the Dicker boot is about an inch lower heel and hence (for me) more comfortable. I take a 41 in both the Harrow and velvet suede Dicker, although the smooth leather Dickers are too small for me in a 41. Hope that helps!
 
Hi girls. I just bought the Dicker boots in bronze. I haven't worn them yet because i'm kind of worried of the sole. It looks really delicate to me. Did you guys all get your dickers resoled bevore wearing them the first time?

Nope. Used mind about 5 times before I had protective rubber soles placed on them. Congrats on your Dickers!

I've had my dickers since end of 2010 beginning of 2011. I wear mine almost daily.

Today, I am back from Paris, France and I can finally say I need to take them into my cobbler to get them resoled. But I wore them for about 1.5 years without needing them resoled.

I do think the streets in Paris are tougher with the cobblestone. They do chew up leather soles more so then in California.
 
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:
Cute modeling picture. Was just looking at this on their site and thinking about going for it :) how do you like them so far? and how is the sizing?

thankk you in advance <3

Haven't officially worn them out yet, but they seem comfortable. I actually went for the 36 (I guess this would be a FR 36) over the 37 and I am a small US 7, large US 6.5. I'd say the 36 is a teensy bit tight but the leather seems soft enough that I have confidence they'll stretch out, while the 37's.. my feet were slipping out with no socks so they'd probably just be too big on me in the future. My feet are narrow (from top to sole) if that makes any sense.. they're kind of side from left to right though.
 
i haven't put rubber soles on my dickers and have been wearing them for over a year and they still look and feel fine. i think the soles are heartier than they look!

Thx girls! I think i will wait for putting on the rubber soles. Maybe my dickers won't hold up as long as yours due to the cobblestones here in germany but i think i will notice if the need to see a cobbler. Thanks ;)
 
Does anyone have the Cleave high wedge boots? I'm really tempted to order them along with the khaki Bobbys but Matches is sold out in my usual size (38) and I'm thinking if I should get the 39 in stead since I would want to be able to wear them with a thicker sock during the fall/winter.

I put rubber soles on mine because i want to use them in the winter. If you plan on wearing them in snow/rain the leather sole will be really slippery...

I also had soft rubber put under the heel so they dont klick that much when walking.
 
Anyone else notice Matches put their prices up! Before the dickers were $495aud and now it's over $600aud! :wtf::pout::mad:
Update! Price increase on IM for Australian customers is due to the brand requesting that the prices reflect the RRP in Australia!! I'm so angry!! Eveything in Australia is more expensive...and now so is IM!
I was so happy to be able to buy IM at a decent price like everyone else...looks like no dickers for me :cry::cursing::pout::mad:
 
I purchased the Gris dickers in a size 40 from forward and I have to say, I was slightly disappointed in the color...I liked how its darker than what's shown on the website but I've decided to return, so heads up to anyone interested! They should be back on the forward site soon and they are $540 instead of the usual $600 at checkout because the box is a little damaged but I didn't notice anything!

I bought the Cleave boot in a size 38 ( usually I go with 39) they fit snug around the very top of the shaft while the actual foot area ran big. I sent them back mainly because I was disappointed in the sandpaper feeling suede. HTH.
