WOW, I had no idea there was such a fan club for Dicker boots! I bought my first pair this winter (Miel) on NAP and yesterday I bought my second , the Taupe, always on NAP!!!! I'm totally hooked, they are SOOOO comfortable! I'm usually a size 40, but I got them in 41 b/c I'd rather have a bit more space! I need a dark pair now.....
I was wondering, do the current release Dicker boots run true to size? Heaps of posts and the listing on NAP say they do this season, unlike past seasons that ran small and people had to order up a size. I ordered a size 36 which has been my size in her shoes the past season, but I'm nervous about the sizing... Any help would be appreciated
Hi there!
If you read a few pages back in the thread you may be able to get a better understanding of the sizing situation.
Basically, yes, this season the sizing situation has been rectified and the dickers are more true to size. That being said, I think it would also depend on whether your feet are in half sizes, for example in your case more of a 35.5 rather than a 35. Perhaps you'll be okay with the 36. Just wait and see. You can always return them
Hi there,
I just received the Dicker boots in taupe from NAP today; ordered size 36, as they are supposed to be tts - however, they do seem a bit too small, not much though (I'm sure that a size 37 would be too big; why don't they make ½-sizes???).. Those of you who already have the Dicker boots - can I hope that they will stretch..? Alternatively, the cobbler may stretch them a bit.. As to the colour, they do seem a bit more greenish than I expected; does any of you know if the F/W taupe is the same as the previous seasons or has it changed a bit?

Maybe wear them with thick socks so they stretch out a bit. I'm hoping the 37 I purchased won't be too small.
I agree w/this - I'm normally a 35.5./36. Originally bought dickers in size 37, had to return them as they were HUGE. I now have on a 36 and they fit perfecto

They will break in and stretch - my boots are taupe and have a slight tint of green, from prior season....HTH
Thanks; I guess I'll just have to wait for them to stretch a bit; I plan on wearing them with bare feet this summer, so I need for them to stretch, otherwise it will be hell 
.. -especially if your feet tend to grow bigger in the heat.. But maybe more comfortable with a small nylon sock..
Still not sure about the colour; on the pics on NAP they seem more sandy (which I guess I prefer), however, maybe they will grow on me.. Otherwise, I guess I will have to return them..

The taupe definitely isn't sandy - that's what I thought too - mine are more on the gray/greenish side. I get tons of compliments on them, though I wish they were more beigy also....best of luck!
i agree the taupe is more a very light olive ...
but the taupe from previous years were more beigy!!!
i think i live this newer shade better to be honest !!!

I received my Taupe Dickers from NAP today, and comparing the size with my older Miel ones, they appear to be exactly the same....I do think that one should take the next size up if you have a half size (e.g: if you are 39,5 take a 40) As I said above somewhere, I'm usually a 40, but I bought 41 and they are roomy but not too big....I can wear them either barefoot or with socks.
Regarding the color, I don't know how it compares to the older Taupe, but I like this one a lot, in fact I prefer it to my Miel ones!

As to the colour, I'm sure that it will grow on me; just that it turned out differently than what I expected and I have to get used to the colour.
I'm actually more concerned with them pinching in the length; I have a very slim foot and they fit perfectly except for maybe half a size in the length (still sure that size 37 would be too big).. I talked to the cobbler as to stretching them, but not sure how much I can expect them to stretch, so I may be taking a risk keeping them, if they don't stretch. Anyone else with comments as to your Dickers stretching..?

All the suede boots I've had in the past have stretched anywhere from 1/2 a size to nearly a full size. Whenever I have purchased suede booties that fitted nicely when I received them, after a bit of wear they all ended up being too big. It's a bit uncomfortable orginally but I've found that suede gives very easily and it has only ever take a few wears to get them comfortable.
I used to wear mine around the house, first with thinner socks and then as they gave with thicker socks. When your feet heat up in them they will give more. The best thing about being at home is you can take them off when you want, you don't have to wear them for too long at once and won't end up with your feet being too sore. I've taken them to the Cobblers before to have them stretched but have found wearing them at home and breaking them in, just to be as effective.
I'm between sizes too in the Dicker boots but went for the really fitted and at this point, slightly uncomfortable and too tight fit. I hope this helps.
