hey lotusfire :) What size are you normally? I've purchased last season dickers in the miel imo i dont feel that stretch that much. just a little bit but then again i dont have wide feet so maybe if i did they would? hmmm .. are you a true 36 or 37? I havent worn the taupe pair as yet but maybe they will stretch a little on me since they are a little more narrower then last seasons. Because when i put them on they are more snug around the width of my foot. But i can say for certain that last season size 36 havent changed shape and I wear then almost everyday :)
I think I'm a true 7/37; but I can take a 6.5 in sandals. I do wear a 37.5/38 in some designer shoes that tend to run small. I've only been wearing the Dickers in my house, either with a thin sock or barefoot, and they fit great (not tight at all) but I do notice that they seem to loosen up a bit with the heat of my foot. That's why I'm concerned about them stretching too much when I really start breaking them in. I think I'm just being paranoid but I don't want to go through the trouble of buying a 36 when they come back in stock and then selling the other pair.

If you are size true 37 I feel the 37 is a perfect size for you :) I feel if you get the 36 it may stretch more and become more out of shape, plus i dont think u will be able to wear socks with them :P. Also this seasons dickers are narrow so if the 37's are a great fit now then the 36 will definitely be too tight and will stretch more and will over time become more out of shape. I think you should keep the 37's :) Its hard to decide especially when they are not cheap boots :p
 
I've got Dicker fever! These have been on my radar for a couple years now,
and I just couldn't commit to the Rag & Bone or Acne or Joie homages.
I need the Taupe in my life and have never been sized in these so I ordered
two sizes in Cognac when those went up on Barney's.

I am a 9, and a 40 in Louboutin. The 39 is snug and the 40 has an unacceptable
amount of heel slippage. If I was concerned about future resolings (because those
shrink the shoe a tiny bit), and liked to wear very thick socks all the time, I would
have to choose the 40. A 39.5 would be ideal. The 39 fits well at the heel, with
tightness along the big toe in particular. The outermost corners of both big toes is
squished, to be honest. Suede does give with wear, but is constricted by a glued
down almond shape, tightly all along where it needs to stretch. This limits the
amount of give possible.

As I prefer to wear leather lined boots without socks and for limited periods,
this means I have to choose the 39 but with reservations. I'd like to add a
ball-of-foot cushion, but those don't take up much space. It's the tight toe
that's the problem. Will it give enough with wear? Only time will tell.
In the meantime I'll just bite my nails til I can GET a 39 in the Taupe.
 
Natashapoly - Do you know the measurements of the size 36? I feel like a 36.5 would have just been perfect - if only it existed!

I currently don't have measurements for 36 in dicker boots for the moment.
but here are the measurements for bobby sneakers:
(37)
outersole
heel - toe: 9.25''
widest width: 3.5''
(36)
outersole
heel - toe: 9''
widest width: 3.35
 
Thanks, I will probably need it :-)..

Still a bit confused as to how many lengths the fringe boots come in.. On the runway show there seems to be 2 lengths (one over-the-knee and one knee-high), but I have also seen a shorter version (approx. 30 cm).. The boots you saw in Paris, which length were they?

The Bastille store had black knee length and a burgundy suede fringe ankle boot (very cute). They seem to come in three lengths.

-- Still confused about sizing between the 39 and 40. The 40 is only a tiny bit longer, the real difference is in extra width and a lot of space around the heel.

Does anyone have advice on which ones to keep and how much they may stretch?

Thanks again!
 
Went to Barney's today. They only had black size 36. I'm usually 6.5 and it was a little tight, so I'd need 37. How likely is it that other Barney's store will have the cognac in my size? The store was busy so I left w/o asking.
