I'm dying for a pair of cluster boots. I was hoping to catch them on sale after the holidays but nothing so far. I may just suck it up and pay full price. IF anyone sees a deal please post...

Are you looking for the leather ones (Cluster) only, or the suede (Crisi) too? I think I saw the brown Crisi on matches, marked down. I bought the black Crisi this year :D

HI ladies, I searched through this thread for information on heel slippage and found a few posts.
I recently tried on some Basleys and they definitely had heel slippage, even with 2 pair of thin socks (I tried 1 pair of thick socks over a pair of thin and they would not zip up the back). The SA who was helping me said that this is how they are supposed to wear (she said all IM wedge boots will do this), but I wanted to get your opinion. Are they truly supposed to slip as I walk? It wasn't just a tiny bit of slippage, but enough to annoy me.
I didn't buy them as there was no smaller size to compare fit to, they were on sale for a decent price, but the fit was boggling and I felt like the SA just wanted to make a sale and get me out of there.
Any advice is appreciated! TIA! :flowers:

This happened to me too. In my case a smaller size turned out to be great. I usually am a 37 on IM's but with Basleys and Bobbys I had to go down one size because a 37 was way too wide, so 36 fitted perfectly.

Hope this helps 😘

I have the Beslays and needed to go from my usual 39 to a 40. I suppose my heel slips a bit but it doesn't bother me.

I also have the Chess Boot which runs a full size large. I kept the 39 but maybe could've done a 38. I didn't want to wait, so I kept the 39 and let my feet sweat with thick socks.

I also have the Nowles boot. They run a tad bit small but the 39 was good enough. Tons of heel slippage on those but they are beyond cute.

Marant boots are a new obsession for me. My only complaint (besides the price) is the inconsistency with sizing.

Mine slip too but I think they fit big. I got my usual size 39 and found them loose, which is too bad because I love the style. I might have to try some insoles.

Updating. I went back and bought the Besleys! The SA who was there this time was super helpful and even gave me some inserts for them. They fit pretty darn well :smile1: once I had those in, and gosh, they are cute! Thanks again for the advice!

They only had size 40, so I went with it. Is this a 40 French? I usually wear 39-39 1/2 and in US sizes anywhere from 8 1/2 to 9 1/2. I don't think I could go any smaller in length on this shoe, the slippage is just part of the fit, the inserts really help. :smile1: Idk if I mentioned they were on sale, $259 at Barney's.

😱😍 great deal!!! Now, enjoy them!!
About size, I think it all depends on the model, the season and, above all, your type of foot and how you feel more comfortable in the shoe. I think IM uses the european sizing, not specifically the french one. I live in Spain and I buy my IMs in my regular European 37. It is only in the Baisleys and the Bobbys I had to size down... The rest is AOK. I always try them before buying.

Now, enjoy those Babes!!

Interesting! I am looking forward to trying on other styles and getting a better idea of what size I am, but for now, I am loving these! Thank you, I'm excited to wear them & thanks again for chiming in to help me out. :flowers:

Any petite ladies out there rocking the Dicker boots? I'm not sure how they would look on a tiny person w/ skinny ankles. Last thing I need is to spend all that money and look like a clown!

I am looking for something that's easy to wear and also very comfortable yet doesn't make me look dumpy. I'm just not sure I can pull this off though. Plus size 35 is near impossible to find! :(

Thanks!

I am quite petite, but my legs are really strong (ballet dancer). I was worried exactly by the opposite: that my legs looked weirdly masculine.
Fortunately, these boots look great with everything!! But I think that if I had thinner legs they would look better!

Thank you Zoe C! That was very helpful. I wish I have strong ballerina legs. I bet you look gorgeous in everything! What size did you buy and what color?

Ok I'm so confused about the sizing!! I saw some websites listing them as 36 IT and others 36 EU. What are they equivalent to in US size? I'm all over the place, CL, YSL and Valentino Rockstuds I fit 34EU but in Stuart Weitzman, Cole Haan and Aquatalia I'm actually a size 5. :shrugs: So what size should I be looking for if I want the Dicker boots?

I hate my tiny feet! So hard to find my size! :crybaby:

Thanks! You make me blush!! Strong legs are a good feature but it can also make you look shorter (and I am petite, remember?) Anyway I am pretty sure you'll also look gorgeous in anything, being petite and thin :)

Mine are Taupe in 37 which is my regular european size (I don't know if there's any difference with the Spanish size). I looked it up for you and the EU 37 equals to around 23,5 cm or a US size 7. In the same equivalence chart, it says a 35 is somewhere between 21,8-22,3 cm long, and equals a US 5.

I hope this helps. I know how difficult finding shoes in 35 can be, my mom is that size and it is a nightmare for her.

Good luck!!
