I'm a U.S. 7.5-8 and when I got the 8 my toes were right on the edge. I got the 9 and they were perfect. They say they're in Italian sizing but I think it's French. Hope that helps! If you want to see a pic of them on my feet go to my Instagram dee_ _ _cee
 
Uff I wasn't ever sure if dickers were still in production. It is a relief to know that at least for Etoile they still available.

About the sole, I really like the original one (so thin and neat). Is this one thicker? Do you find it better/ worst?

The Etoile Dickers have the sole sewn in (there is stitching around the sole, whereas the original Dickers did not have such stitching), and feels smoother and thicker than the original Dickers. I called the IM store in LA and they said the Dickers have been put under the Etoile line for a couple of years now, but since they are still made in France they thought the quality was comparable. I think I like the original Dickers better...
 
I'm a bit of a noob can't seem to find it. what size do you usually get in european sizing? and what size is 9?

Thank you so much!! I'll see if I can make myself with a pair...mine are quite broken in.
 
does anyone have the lance velvet eyelet boots? curious on the sizing. i usually wear a US 8 but not sure if i need a 38 or 39. i have the andrews and the nowles in a 38 but i can't seem to find info on the lance sizing. any feedback would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
 
Hey guys, check out Harvey Nichols as they have lots of IM boots, sandals and trainers at 70% off. Gutted that I missed the black Crisi boots at £121!!


Wow thanks for the intel! I live in the US but am gonna see if it'd be worth it to ship :) sad you missed the crisis too but I hope you found something else amazing in the sale!
 
Hey there,
I have pored over all previous threads and am still confused so I thought I would post here to see if I get any other opinions.

I have just purchased some Nowles boots in the sale for 40% discount and they are a EU size 39 which is a UK 6.

When I tried them on, they feel sooo comfy but I am slightly worried that they are too big and I dont have access to a size 38 to compare.

I have 2 pairs of Marant Crisi in a size 38 and one pair of bobbys size 39.

I have read that Nowles boots are true to size whereas some feel they are slightly big sized and advise sizing down.

Do you think I have got the right size? They feel like uggs feel (so slightly loose and slip a bit when I walk) but then my bobbys do that as well. My toes dont go all the way to the end of the shoe but then again, they dont with my bobbys....

Any advice for me? Is this how the Nowles supposed to be or should they be really snug fitting because they stretch out?

Also, if I kept the size 39, does the sheepskin inside eventually flatten down and then would they definitely be too big?

Sorry for the length of this, I just love them and dont know whether Ive got the right size. Its a lot of money for me to make a costly mistake, please chime in if you have the nowles!

I think if they fit well now, stick with them. You will likely wear thicker socks in the winter and you can always put a pad in them if they stretch. Boots are more flexible in sizing in my opinion as your feet don't slip out of them like flats or heels.

Are you located in the US? I was at the Barneys Outlet in the Fashion Outlets of Chicago 2 weekends ago and saw a pair of beige Nowles for $199.99. I think they were sz 37 but if so, I think they can use the SKU to check other stores' inventories. I meant to post but was running late for my flight and forgot in the mad rush to the airport =( Even if they've sold by now, you could call and ask to be notified if they receive any more in your sz. I've done that before and they're actually pretty good about following up. If you can't get the SKU, I recommend trying multiple locations since they will ship.

That being said, re: sizing, if the 39s are comfortable, I agree that you should probably just keep them. I'm typically a US size 6 or 6.5 (UK 4) and my Crisi boots are EU 36 and are even a bit loose. However, with the Nowles, I originally ordered a EU 36 and couldn't even get my foot into them! I ended up giving that pair to my mom and had to order a sz 38 for myself, so my Nowles are 2 full sizes up from my Crisis! Initially I thought they were a little too loose, but I'm actually really happy I didn't size down because, after wearing them almost everyday in the winter, the flattening of the shearling has not affected the fit and, since they have that hidden wedge, it's nice to have that extra room for my toes-- my feet are narrow so anytime there's a heel, my feet tend to slide a little bit.

Hope that helps! Best of luck and hope you keep the pair you have or find another pair in a sz 37 b/c the Nowles really are amaaazing!
