Was just waterproofing my dickers and thought I'd take a photo! They are so comfy.. I used to live in my flipflops but now I wear these with everything- shorts, jeans, dresses. I think the cut is somehow flattering on the ankle because I never felt like I could pull off bare legs with boots but now I can ;) thanks for your help with sizing and colours. Btw they are 'brown' and 'anthracite' from farfetch

Hey guys! My first pair of IM shoes finally arrived.. I was expecting them to be a much lighter tan colour... These are quite a chocolatey brown. Model pics on all the websites are so confusing! Anyway it doesn't matter I absolutely love them. They fit SO well and the suede is so amazing. Will definitely buy a pair in black (or is that anthracite?) and maybe a lighter brown for summer dresses.. I have weird shaped feet and find it so hard to buy shoes but these fit beautifully. For reference the colour on the box is 'brown' and here is a daggy mod pic ;) has anyone else had problems trying to decipher the different shades of brown or is it just me lol

Also.. I usually wear very fitted skinny jeans but nearly all my pairs bunch up around the ankles with these.. I think i will have to mainly wear leggings with them..

Love them on you! Gorgeous color, the lighter ones wash out skin

I have a question for those of you who own the Dicker boots in suede: do they stretch/give at all with frequent use? I just ordered a pair of the Dicker boots from Matches in 38, and the fit is pretty snug. They work if wear them with no socks, but thicker ones won't work at all. I was planning to wear them mostly in spring and summer with just thin socks, but now I'm a bit on the fence regarding the size...

I'm a pretty straightforward 38,5, and can usually fit a in a 38 shoe (for reference, I wear a 38 in the Acne pistol). However, I own the Isabel Marant Jenny boots in size 39 (the 38 was too small, whereas the 39 is big, but I mostly wear them in winter with really thick socks.) I'm worried that if I order the Dicker boots in a 39, the size will just be way too large. If the boots really end up stretching a bit with time (as suede often does), I might be able to get away with size 38... Any advice?

From your size references it sounds to me like you would probably be better off with the 39 Dickers. The suede seems to vary between seasons - some are softer than others - but in my experience with four suede pairs they don't stretch much.
My true size is EU37.5 BTW and I wear a 38 in Dickers with not much wriggle room. I have Jennys in the 38 too and they are much more generous than the 38 Dickers, so I think you'll find the 39 Dickers will fit more neatly than your 39 Jennys.
Good luck!

I agree. Mine have not really stretched. Its almost as if they come pre-stretched? I think better to go bigger size with thick socks.

I am a solid US 8.5 and 39 Dicker fits me great. I cannot imagine to size down to a 38. I also own Acne Pistols in size 38.

I am a 39,5 and i had ordered the dicker in suede in 40. I was worried, too, whether I had to go for the 39 until they were delivered. I was glad I got the 40!!! For me shoes can't be shocks, they will harm you if shrug.There is a slight slippage on the heel BUT this is due to the style of the boot (the ankle is loose) You can't expect your toes to press against the end of the shoe in order not to have that..I didn't use any insoles, I only wear them with thin or no shocks because I feel that a shrug fit that comes with the thick shocks deforms the line of the boot and harms my feet! What I did was put an anti slip suede heel grip in the boot right above my heel bone... Hope I helped!:smile1:

Thanks to all of you guys for your advice, I really appreciate it. I've actually been wearing the Dicker boots around the house over the past few days, and they've stretched just enough to fit me right. They feel good even with socks on now, so I guess I managed to get a pair that stretches (mine are in Gris ). A lot of the snugness actually had to do with the toe area being so low, rather than the shoes being too small lengthwise, so now that the suede has settled a bit around my feet the boots feel really comfortable.

However, I will definitely keep in mind your advice if I ever consider buying more Marant shoes, 39 seems like a safer bet than 38.

Hi, princessmia - been reading this thread trying to figure out what size of dickers to get. I think you said somewhere past you were a 36.5 and got a 37? Did you ever try a 36? I have long, thin feet and sometimes feel 37s (in other brands are feel "empty"). But sometimes 36s are too short. Being a half size is so tricky but I don't want to have to pay return postage. Thanks!

i have skinny feet and I would say size up. Shoes are impossible to stretch longer.
I am 37 so I stick to 37. The length is perfect. If someone has skinny feet in 37.5 then she better get the 38. HTH.

Hey! Well I have quite fat feet lol but usually take a us 6-6.5 and went with 37. I never tried a 36 but I think my big toe would hit the end in a 36 so i agree size up to 37 and maybe just wear thick socks with it. good luck!!!

Hi there, thanks for your advice I think thats probably safer. Would you say that the Dickers in 37 are slimmer than the average boot in 37? I'm hoping you say yes...

Thanks, I started looking at conversion charts and got really confused. According to all the charts I'm wearing the wrong sizes!! Is US the same as AUS sizes? Whats your foot length in cm? Sorry to get so personal but you've got the size I'm looking at...

BTW Did you get a good deal on yours? I'm looking at $650.. is that ok?

Forgot to ask if anyone had to return shoes to US from Australia before... any idea roughly how much it would be? Is it a hassle?
Click to expand...


Yes australia and us sizes are the same. Im a 6.5 aus and fit the 37 perfect! I bought mine off farfetch and i researched a fair bit they were the cheapest I could find by quite a bit (paid about $550 aud each).

You can get prepaid satchels to return to us from auspost I think they are about $30-$50!
