Oh, and do any Aussie girls know the best suede protector to use on these babies? Being the middle of Winter right now, I don't want to wear my Taupes out until they have protection. :graucho:

hi nelstar i use collonil waterstop spray. I think it works pretty well :) You should be able to get it from most places. Try david jones I know they sell it :)

I totally agree - I think 1/2 sizes should size up. I think 8 would be too uncomfortable for long periods of time although I like how they fit around my ankle more. I agree with LaGarconne website which suggests to size up and NOT down. I would not wear these without socks in winter so 38 would never work. FYI - Barneys advised to size up as well. I am sending my 38 back and keeping the 39!

Yeah I think keeping the 39's is the right choice :) boots are meet to be comfortable :)

NAP's fit guide is usually off - They claimed a pair of Proenzas was true to size but when I got them, they ran a full size small. I think with the Dickers, it seems like smaller sizes (36, 37) run about a half size large, and the larger sizes are more true to size. But that is only my assessment based on reviews from this thread!

Agree - embarrassed to admit that I am still wavering...the 39's are so "stinkin" big!!!!

Don't worry...I was on the fence for a while...the 37s fit my swollen summer feet pretty well when barefoot...and would be great with socks come fall/winter. But you mentioned you had a full thumb of space in the heel! I don't have that issue with mine, so that is why I stuck with the 37. I think you should stick with the 38, especially if you find that the 39 is huge; They will most likely stretch to accommodate.

So just received my cognac from Barneys size 37. I'm usually 6.5. The 6 I tried on at the store was really tight in the toe area. Just tried 37- it's a little loose but I am going to put foot-petal heel slippers on the back. Will this stretch out?

Usually shoes stretch to accommodate the foot, so if its already a bit loose, I don't think it will stretch further.

I sized down for these -- I'm more often a 40 than a 39, but the 40 was so big! My left foot was slipping in it. The 39 is a perfect fit on my left foot, but very snug on my right (my right foot is bigger). So I was in serious doubt. But in the store they advised to stick with the 39, as they will stretch (the shopgirls were both wearing last season's Dickers). In the length I don't need more space, it's the width that's the problem, and they said that it will stretch to accommodate your foot. Have been wearing them now for 2 days, and they are gently stretching, so I am hoping :-0. But I'm pretty positive the 40s would have been too big for comfort. I don't always want to wear them with thick socks or an innersole. Plus it's really hard to fill up the extra space at the heel.
Hope this will help anybody to make up their minds! A 39.5 would have sold my problem!

Are they hurting by the end of the day? It sounds like you and I have the same problem although my left is bigger. My right fits perfectly in the 38 and the left is snug especially with a thin sock, but the 39 seems so big. If i bang my heel so my foot is completely back I have an entire thumb width of length at my toes!

they hurt a bit at the end of the day, when there has been plenty of walking.`But if I keep them on just to potter about in the house and cook and sit on the couch and watch telly, they are fine. Hopefully they will stretch enough during my walks, and Ill have a perfect fit....
Darn, buying shoes is not easy! It's a science!

I decided to size up from 8 1/2 to keep the 39!!! If anyone interested I see there is a 39 taupe at NAP - hurry!!! I came across it when doing return which means a 38 will become available soon as well!
