Well, it's all about loving them or not, and feeling comfortable in them too!
Let us know what you find instead.
Hi ladies, I want to buy the andrew boots but which colour? Black, anthracite or olive green? Black is my failsafe which I know I will never tire off but I have other black boots so my other half thinks I should go for the green. I wear a lot of black, grey, burgundy in the winter so not sure if the green would go although they would look great with indigo jeans or faded black/dark grey skinnies. Please help me to decide! TIA
I would take the green Andrew boots! In fact I just got them and they are a truly spectacular shade; box says 'Dark Green' but very grey imo, with a very subtle and tiny hint of soft green (but in some light will look just grey). I had already bought the Andrew boots in 'Bronze' (brown), but loved the green much more (now I'll just have to keep both colors, lol
) Although I'm a black fan as well and usually wear black and grey , the black didn't give me the wow that the green ones gave me. I also like when I'm wearing a black top, the bottom is different; the boots will stand out more. (Btw. colors are confusing as on Mytheresa I see an 'Anthracite' version, but am wondering if it's actually the green one? They look quite similar)

Can someone tell me real quick... For the dicker boots, is taupe and Gris the same color or are they different? Thanks
Think there is a slight difference. IM generally brings out a taupe shade each season but changes it slightly. I have two different shades of taupe in the Dickers, they are slightly different to each other but one is similar to the Gris, just slightly darker. Colours and sizing are never straight forward with IM footwear!!
I agree, the green has a definite grey tone to it! I'm also someone who generally goes for black but with this boot, I'd go green!!!
Hello there ! This is my very first post, I'm a 23 french girl and dedicated shoes lover.
I just received my very first pair of Isabel Marant, the crisi boots in Taupe.
Unfortunately, I'm disappointed with the color. They're grey. Not mushroom, nor the ashy light brown I was expecting, they're just grey, grey grey grey all the way through
. Though they might look slightly taupe, under a certain light while squinting your eyes very hard.
I took a picture, my iPhone makes them look even more grey
.
I don't want to send them back to exchange them, The colors are just too confusing this season, I'll never get the shade I want. So I'm thinking about dying them sparingly with a light brown/camel/cognac/chamois/whatever suede spray. I don't really mind the lightness, it's just the shade. Do you guys think it's a good idea or am I being crazy, mistreating a brand new 450€ pair of boots
?
The quality does not exceed my expectations either, they just don't compete with my Fiorentini and Bakers for instance, but well, what a unique design. I love the completely invisible inner wedge.

To me it sounds like you should send them back and hopefully you'll find a pair you love later on

I know you're right, but idk if I'll be able to say goodbye
. The few other models of crisi still available on the web in my size are the wrong color/curl at the toe like cowboy boots...Sorry it wasn't the colour you were hoping for, but are you sure you can't use a pair of grey boots in your wardrobe? Grey is such a nice neutral. As for dyeing them, I think it's too risky. The resulting shade might be wrong and you could end up with a thick coating of colour that will ruin the suede finish -- it happened when a cobbler dyed a pair of suede shoes for me. Good luck with your decision!Hello there ! This is my very first post, I'm a 23 french girl and dedicated shoes lover.

Grey suede boots are great and I needed some, but I doubt I would have knowingly spent so much on a colour of shoe I'm not used to wear. I just wanted to wear them with absolutely everything, like my previous marantish Ash Jalouse suede boots (RIP darlings).
I decided to keep them. If they don't complement some of my looks, that's a good excuse to buy them in every colours

Anyone got the Chess boots? I've just ordered some black ones but would be great to get some opinions of them before they arrive. My main worry is that as they're pull-on they might be difficult to get on and off!

Hi, yes! That's what I was wondering too - about the anthracite being really the green version. I haven't seen the anthracite anywhere else apart from on mytheresa. I also thought bronze was the green but is bronze more of a brown?! Now I'm confused! So you think they don't actually come in grey at all?
I wear a lot of burgundy - burgundy jeans and scarves - so that's why I was unsure about the green. I guess the green would go better with an all black outfit. I just like my expensive purchases to match with everything and all colours!
