I agree, I saw La Garconne has that color and size. I know it's a hassle to return but I think it's worth it.
Thanks for the input Fairy-bag and arguspeace :) I really appreciate the help and love the support by this community! I had seen them at La Garconne but I recently had a stressful experience with the shop and didn't want to take any chance.. Plus they are for 790 dollars plus shipping and it costs less for me buying them from european boutiques (they are made in Europe after all) as I am buying tax free... With this almost 250 dollars difference I could probably save for another pair :) It's funny cause when I ordered them there was a second pair in stock in the same boutique and 3 pairs from another boutique... Three days later when I received my package and checked the website for a replacement all were sold out... Anyways I sent an email to Farfetch, let's see what they will come back with... It was quite disappointing though...
 
finally decided to take the plunge and maybe buy a pair of Dickers - in a pale tone, like taupe.

Anyone seen this shade in real life - it seems more honey than taupe to me?

Also, am i safe to order the 36 if i am a UK3?


Sounds like a good decision 😊 my dickers are proboably my most comfortable and still stylish boots.

I have the dickers in a size 36 and usually take a UK 3, however i am on the small side of a size 3. I have size 36 in repettos and size 35 in Acne boots, if it helps.

Unfortunatly i cannot help you on the colour. I have not seen this colour in real life, and my own boots are black and kakhi.

Of course you are disappointed! Have you checked on NAP?

As Veske_gal suggested, a 36 will fit if you are on the small side of the 36, the suede is so soft. Otherwise, I would go for a 37. I bought a 36 but in the end a 37 would probably be even more comfortable. For your reference, I am 37 in Rag & Bone Newbury and a 37 in Repetto.

Yes, I had checked before, NAP don't have the taupe... I checked Farfetch again last night and there is one pair back in stock from a boutique other than the one I bought from. I am in contact with them and asked if they could disclose if this pair is again a return and if yes what was the reason but they can't seem to be able to see that. I suspect a manufacturer's issue with this color... Although Farfetch are very keen in answering all my emails they don't actually give me much of a solution.. I am told so far it depends on the shipper (who by the way claimed that he shipped the item in perfect condition) and according to their policy if I return the item I will have to be charged with the shipping cost anyhow which I don't find fair... They also asked me for pictures of the packaging as the shipper believe it was DHL's mishandling (i find this silly as they would have to have penetrated the sturdy and intact boxes with a laser or something to create the scratch on the shoe :p). Anyways I sent the boxes' photos too, and I am curious to see where all this will end..
 
Girls does anybody know how tall cleave boots are? I tried the prescott and shelia style and they are really a little too high on my knee to be super comfy. Are cleaves as tall or a little shorter?
 
Does anyone have a mod pic of light brown suede dickers? I have spent so long comparing all the colours its difficult to tell what is what grrr. Im thinking of getting the light brown suede dickers from NAP.
This is my first pair of IM Shoes so any advice on sizing will be gratefully accepted by me ;) thanks in advance..

Here is a pic of my light brown dickers from NAP against Madewell Barnwood boots in spinach on dark gray background. I usually wear a 8.5 and these are a size 38. NAP advised me to take a 39 as according to them it is a french sizing (it is not dear NAP !!!) but I ordered both sizes 38 and 39 and of course a 39 was way to large.
The suede is beautiful and soft and the color is lovely. Last year I purchased these in Gray but I returned them back to Forward as the color was kind of flat and suede had cardboard-ish feel:laugh:
I own Acne Pistols in a size 38. I hope it helps. :smile1:

Thanks so much for that pic!

Do you find the light brown shows up marks/water marks easily?

I love this colour because I think I could wear it with dresses and shorts :)

Also handy about sizing.. I would hVe sized up if you hadn't told me that :/

We have several inches of snow since November here, so I didn't dare to wear the boots yet:p but I find this color quite versatile, still light to go with all spring summer clothing and dark enough to be worn with blacks not show dirt easily.
You will love them:yes:
 
Hi ladies - I am popping over to this thread for some advice. For those of you who have successfully sold Isabel Marant boots, which forum(s) would you recommend? I have only sold a few handbags in the past on Bonanza as ebay scares me. I have two pairs of Caleens that I have never worn and they make me feel guilty every time I see them sitting in my closet! I jumped on the Caleen band wagon when they first appeared last year, but they just don't fit me nearly as well as my Dickers or beloved Anine Bing boots.

I was wondering if there are any shoe-specific sales forums that I might not know about? Also, is there still a market for the Caleen?

A note to mods - I am not trying to solicit sales here, I am just genuinely looking for some sound advice.

Thank you!
