I think like any other sales, they start at 25 or 30% off, then go to 50%, then 65 or 75% which at that point is really what's left over!! We don't have a Barney's in my tonw any more but when we did, generally good mark downs were in late Jan or Feb.
Hi, got a couple of questions... got some dickers a while back, haven't worn them alot as just saving them for days when I'm not doing much walking. But... I noticed that the material covering the heel (which "looks" like wood) gets nicked/scuffed so that it peels back. Its not bad but I'm wondering why this part is so delicate and if its happened to anyone else. I'm not hard on my shoes and this is the only pair of boots its happened to.I got them from Matches so they shouldn't be fake.... For that price I would've thought they can put real wood on the heel!!!
Anyways, I really like them though... and looking for another pair in a different colour (I have taupe). But there are not many online in my size (37) (those that are there are Expensive). Does anyone know why there aren't many floating around or is it just the wrong time of year???

Just got my black Nowles boots in!! I've been obsessed with these since last year and finally decided on the splurge since I wanted something different from your standard Uggs for winter.. I didn't find too many reviews here so I hope this helps some of you contemplating on them:
- For sizing I took my regular IM sizing (I'm a US 7 = 38 FR -- generally size up for FR sizing) for the Nowles, I know you CAN size down if you wear thin socks or nothing at all, but it would've been quite snug for me personally, with socks and all.
- Absolutely love the hidden wedge in these, gives you a little extra height in winter when you're drowned in layers of clothing
- Very comfortable (barely notice the wedge at all) and VERY warm! The shearling lining I found to keep its warmth much better than Uggs (which tend to loose its 'fluffiness' after a few wears if that makes sense..) I've worn regular thin socks that I usually wear for summer shoes in these and my feet were super cozy.
- Haven't tried these on ice but with your regular winter snowfall weather these held up fine; I like to kick off as much snow or do a quick wipe when I'm inside somewhere so the wetness doesn't ruin the leather/suede areas (not as much of a problem compared to Uggs, which you can see the wet areas soak in right away.. the Nowles has a thicker rubber layer + leather layer, + suede so definitely love that!)
- An overall satisfying purchase. I felt that the money I spent towards them was well worth it and something that will last much longer than the Uggs that get ruined in one winter season here

^ cute! I love looking at people's purchases here. I'm kicking myself for not at least trying to buy a pair of dazzle IR boots on the outnet and now they're out of stock! Sigh always buy and return later right?

Thank you for your review! I have asked a few times about the sizing of the Nowles in this thread and have never gotten a response. Thank you for the information!
I've tried on the black leather dickers and it fit the same for me as the Prescotts if that helps at all. I bought a 38-and they have wiggle room (but not so much I can't walk) as I'm usually a 37/37.5 in all other designer brands.

Thank you so much for this review! I am looking for some sturdy but stylish snowboots and I wasn't sure if the Nowles could really handle snow! Now I really want them!
So....Just received my Prescotts (my first IM boots) and I must say that I am shocked! I m soooo kicking myself for not getting HM collection booties, cuz they are exactly the same quality!!!(my gf has HM ones). Idk why last year when collection launched I was not really into them and I didn't wanna pay $300 for HM, especially after several ladies in the store commented that main line shoes are waaaay better in quality. I mean, I love my Blossoms and Basleys! But to me Prescotts feel exactly the same as HM ones! and I was even thinking paying full price for Andrews, cuz I thought they'll have a much softer feel to them than the HM.
Girlies, whoever has HM and main line boots, booties, could you please comment on the difference in the quality if there is any. I am stocking HM ones on ...bay now and trying to figure out if they are worth those crazy prices. If the quality is the same....

I've always hated Uggs and can never justify spending money on shoes I hate. These look amazing .. just a quick question for you tho - you gave a great description for the sizing but I'm a US 7.5-8 and the only IM shoes I own are the Pierce Boots and I got them in a FR39 since everyone told me they run small and they fit perfectly. Should I get the Nowles in a 38? or 39? What would you suggest? Thanks in advance!
