I actually prefer the cognac, taupe or chocolate version. I think you can "see" the boot better - the western details etc. With the black I think they look a bit more generic. That being said I'd still wear them and love them if I found a pair laying on the street. I was only going to buy one pair though so I went with the classic taupe. For my black boots I went Rachel Comey just to mix it up.

ok, when you get them let me know your opinion. I was thinking the same thing about the black. I don't know if I would have enough to wear with the cognac ones.

My black are here.
I hate to say this....I'm glad I don't have to decide between the two.
I'm sort of leaning towards the cognac now that I see them side by side. Also, my black fit a little more snug. They have a $560 price tag on them....wondering if they are from a season ago? They have the newer dust bag. They will stretch I'm sure, but my cognac fit better.

I agree. The cognac has a softer look too. I think the lighter color looks better against my skin(for shorts & skirts).
I'm glad I ordered the taupe.
I'm thinking about sending the black dicker back for a black dixie. :thinkin:
I do love black though.

I ordered the black ones from Edon Manor and after I confirmed my order I realized they only do store credits. I didn't like this so Icalled within 5 minutes to try to cancel and the sales girl told me she needed to talk to the owner so now I might be stuck with the black. Not that black are bad I just don't want to be stuck with them if Idon't like them. Then a pair showed up at Barneys in cognac thanks to anabella05. I sent the owner a e-mail like 2 hours ago but no response.

I took a chance ordering the cognac from Nida because they only do store credit- with a 5 day return policy. I'm happy with the fit and the boot.
I'm still thinking about sending the black back and wait for grey.

I pre-ordered taupe from Edon Manor.

I agree that you can see the details better on a lighter colored Dicker.... miel, cognac, taupe, any of the neutral earth-toned boots are super versatile and will go with just about everything! Any of them would be a wonderful first Dicker boot. :smile1: I think black, however, has its merits too. It doesn't show scuffs, smudges, and dirt...so can be worn with a little less stress. I have found that even though my taupe Dickers are professionally water and stain-proofed AND I do touch-ups with my own spray at home once a week, I still get little marks and scuffs ALL the time, which drives me insane! When I wear my black Dickers, I feel a little more relaxed when I'm out and about. Just adding my two cents, in case it helps anyone in their decision-making.

This is why I debated whether to buy taupe, but I love the color so I couldn't help myself. :D
I think the cognac will hold up to water & dirt.
