Here's a pic of my new dickers next to my well-worn RC Mars boots (ignore the chucks!) They definitely have a similar shape to the dickers although the dickers are far more special and comfy. I would love a pair of the Mars in caramelo but I can't bring myself to pony up $403 when they were only $330 a few seasons ago!

All the photos of the taupe are killing me! I want a pair and they are sold out everywhere! 
I scored a black pair from Barneys, but I want taupe. Tell me I don't need taupe since I have 2 mastiffs who slobber on my suede Uggs. :weird:

I hear ya. I bit the bullet and purchased the caramelo Mars this week to go with my black. Since they sell out so fast I knew I was going to regret it later if I didn't. After all it's a whole fall and winter of wear I'm looking at. They'll get used.
Did you ever try the penpals? I purchased both but I think I'm sending my penpals back as the mars seems to be more flattering to the leg. I think the penpals are closer to the Dicker boots in terms of the extra leather coming up the ankle.
love mastiffs... love dickers... get the taupe too!!!

Well, I got lucky and found the taupe in my size for pre-sale (Sept 10 shipment) and I couldn't resist! I would obsess over them too much if I didn't order them.
I own cognac, black, and hopefully very soon- taupe.
They are replacing my slobbered up Uggs.
I did try on the penpals too but I much prefer the mars because I'm pretty short (I'm 5'1). The penpals were a bit too overwhelming for my frame! Overall I love the look of the Mars more because of the cleaner lines but I do love the way la garconne styled the penpal in the pic below!
and you're right, it's totally worth the investment, i've worn mine so many times and even in the rain and the leather is still so beautiful!

Someone please tell me where I can find a taupe or black pair in 37. Still searching. Called COC but they don't have them.
I agree - I'm 5'5, but I think I like the look of the Mars better. I'm surprised I found only one place that carried the black mars boot and one place that had the caramelo. In plain leather that is. The mars this season is this awful black/tan - or suede/leather color combo, talk about ruining a good thing. That's why I purchased the mars caramelo too. She's changed the design this season and I really just wanted the plain classic leather boot.
My only reservations was that I have my pristine Marant Dicker boots from last season in taupe - which is in the same color family. But I convinced myself that they material had shades were different. The Marant boots seem fancier to me - the caramelo Mars are more casual. That's my rational and I'm sticking to it!
I'm officially addicted to IM boots.. finally bit the bullet and got the Dixies in brown from Matches Fashion. Wore them out for a bit and they are super comfy! I chose this style for the lower height since I'm not much of a heel girl. Now I totally want a pair of Dickers too in black!

I love them on you. They look amazing!!
I think that extra inch off the heel makes a he'll of a lot of a difference comfort wise and it seems to lose nothing in the look.
Will you go for both? That's what I'm thinking too! Have to try them on. Store getting them in for me

Thank you! I think you're right about the heel comfort! The thicker heel helps a bit too. I would eventually like to get a pair of Dickers too when my funds allow it. Gotta get the best of both worlds!
