hellofrenchie - Those are my favorite Dicker boots. The taupe color is the most classic imo, maybe it's just because it's been done since the start and I've seen so many photos of them. I love those Navy suede mars boots too. I purchased the caramelo mars and the black this month.

beauxgoris, do you have modeling pics of the mars booties? I would love to see them on! (they sort of look like dickers, are they similar in your opinion?)

I don't yet. My black Mars arrived yesterday and I just ordered the caramelo. I also ordered the penpals in both colors. I figured I'll keep one style or the other. I think the Mars might be better for me since I'm only 5'5 and the leather comes up the ankle pretty high on the penpals. But we'll see. Penpals will arrive tomorrow! They're close in style but I.M.'s boots have that curve on the top where the Mars are more straight. Once they all arrive I can give a better review! HTH.

oh and the sizing on R.C. boots is very true to size. I had to stick to my normal 7.5 and not 8 even though they were narrow. The black 8 Mars I had were too long for me and my heel was flopping around in them.

Thanks for your response! I am very curious about the mars vs. penpal different so please keep us posted! Do you know where the mars and penpal boots are made by any chance? (I think some of rachel comey shoes are made in spain, some made in china, not sure about the current season)

Just thought I'd clarify on the RC boots:

1. They are all made in Peru
2. The Mars has a lower shaft compared to the Pen Pals which curve slightly higher in the back. RC boots are pretty true to size and run slightly narrow. 1/2 sizes might find that their heels will slip in full sized shoes, so take your exact shoe size.
3. The shaft for the Mars is straight and very flattering on the ankles.
4. The heels for both Mars and Pen Pals are 2.75 inch, and because they are slightly higher than IM boots, they are a little less comfortable in my opinion. Also, the heel on the RC shoes are made from a rubber plate that gets really slippery.

I personally prefer the Mars which I sold last year because the 6 were ever slightly too big for my 5.5 size feet. I have the Hitch booties from last year in my exact size and they fit really well. Hope that helps!

I found the same thing. I'm a 7.5 - 8 euro 38 in most shoes and boots so I assumed that the 8's would be better, especially since my feet are not narrow. I was smart to buy both sizes even though I have to pay return shipping on one pair. The 8's were WAY too big. the 7.5 were the correct length - just a bit narrow. I think they'll stretch a bit with wear. I agree with this poster also in that the Mars I think is a bit more flattering because it's a lower ankle length - strangely though it's much harder (less popular) then her penpals.
