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!

Thanks, $650 is getting steep and if they don't fit thats $50 return postage... hmmm, I hate making expensive mistakes.

Anyhow, are they super duper comfortable or just average? They look like they have a thin sole... I'm just trying to justify the price!!

Well Mine are SO comfy i absolutely love them and so easy to walk in. The soles are quite thin but doesn't worry me at all. I would recommend to get an extra sole put on them (not sure if thats the right word) but one of those rubber grippy ones to protect the leather soles. Will make them last way longer. I think the style is so timeless you will be able to wear them forever and in that sense they are worth it.

I so agree it sucks how in aus no one sells dickers and its so risky buying designer goods and the massive taxes we have to pay grrr.

Thanks they do look comfy and the topy soles would def be a good idea on expensive shoes.

Are there extra taxes? I hope not... I might see if I can find a cheaper pair somewhere but farfetch doesnt have 37s anymore. Maybe I should wait to see if more stocks comes out but the colour might disappear? Do you know if taupe is a seasonal or standard color? Why do some pics look very light, others darker, I wonder if depends on the batch?

I think far fetch is cheaper. Sorry i meant the taxes on goods $1000 aud+ lol so atleast the dickers are fine.

I think taupe is a standard colour for each season I have never actually seen it in person but my impression was that it is the lightest colour you can get. My worry was that they may get dirty quickly even after waterproofing.

I have only work my dickers a few times and already annoyingly bumped/scraped them however because they are a bit darker you cant see.

If you are worried about the $$ also try ebay there are quite a few on there !

Thanks, yes I suspect they've been around for a while but does the shade change from season to season? I have googled it and for example on Miranda Kerr they look more like a medium grey taupe but on some of the online stores they look like lighter and less grey, more camelish, e.g. mytheresa... confusing!!

I think taupe is not too practical, will show dirty scuff marks and you'll have to be careful where you step! But looks good for summer, sigh... aahh, too hard to chose!!

Princessmia did you try the suede brush with the rubber bits for scuff marks? That might help.

Hi everyone looks like I missed out on the 37 taupe dickers on farfetch. Darn!! Was about to make the commitment, sob, sob...

Anyways, had a look at NAP and they advised to take the 36 if I'm usually an IT36.5 as it runs large to size. Is that a load of rubbish?? From what you guys have said its not true... confused again. But want to believe them cos there's a 36 left....

Hey princess mia do they come up often on farfetch? Will I have to wait long before another?

Hi there, I wouldn't suggest buying a 36 if you are a 36.5, sorry... I am a 36 and the Dicker in 36 fits like a glove.
