are these real? I find all of her transaction history is kept private, which is not a good signal?

I would be weary..those boots were listed a few months ago and I added them to my watch list..the auction was canceled (with bids already placed) and then relisted and then canceled and relisted again..this happened about 3 or 4 times (ebay sent me an email each time they were relisted)

although her other items seem legit..?

Very strange! She does have a lot of positive feedback, though?

I would email them or call them today. Did you order black or taupe?
The first email I received from them was Friday stating my boots had shipped, but the tracking lead me to a voided shipment. I emailed them asking them about the voided number and they responded quickly with another tracking number and stated my boots would ship Monday.
They contacted me 6pm Saturday to tell me the manager inspected my boots and found water damage. I can't help but wonder if they sold mine to a local buyer.

I kinda wonder that too :thinkin: maybe another sales sold it without knowing that it was already "sold" to you...

These things do happen a lot among SAs...

I got a call on Sat from my NM SA saying that she couldn't find my Balenciaga GH P/T which she has helped transferred in from another store(s).... it was very strange that two of the same bags were missing off the floor (I think she ordered two in for me to pick one).... I think what it was ... some SA hided the bags for their own customer(s) til customer(s) come in & pay for them, that's why my SA couldn't find both handbags..... she offered to do another transfer but I told her to forget it....

another alternative (forgive me!), though not as sleek and higher, Asos Aggie.....

oh i tried those but i found them to be kind of poor in quality. the leather was kind of like cardboard and not flexible at all. I like the heel height though. But I found the shaft height to be too high and cut off my leg...but that's just me personally.

Adding to the entourage of similar boots:

http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=55149&vid=1&pid=857815&scid=857815002

They are not real leather but I bought them for $25 bucks on sale so can't really complain.

I've also tried the DV Jamison and was disappointed in those. They dont have the dip in the shaft that kind of elongate your legs. And again the suede was kind of hard and not flexible.

The Report Marks are great however. The opening runs a bit small so it's a hard to get on. I think though that they will break in w/ wear.

I also have the aldos which are pretty good too.

I've had the steve madden on pre order forever and can't wait till they arrive. I originally really wanted the isabel marants, but couldnt find them in my size. But now with all these knock offs im not sure i want them anymore because I prefer a lower shaft height and the Reports are definitely a lot shorter in the shaft than the IM boots!

Good luck everyone else on scoring a pair though!

I bought the Steve Madden knockoffs back in May when they first came out & yeah, they were on pre-order forever! I didn't get the boots until a month after I placed the order & noticed they were taken off the website by then.

I can't compare them to the actual Dickers since those are way out of my price range. I was honestly disappointed when I got them though. The SM ones are overpriced at $100+. The sole is thin & looks worn/dirty (though new). Some small areas of the suede were rubbed. They looked great (one of the more Dickers-resembling pairs), but just weren't worth it.

Oh no! I hope that it's legit and I didn't post some awful scammer...her feedback seemed positive and the price is super low, which seemed appropriate for the amount of wear that the boots had. Anyhow, I'm sorry if this auction link is a no go! Just trying to help you ladies out, but it seems these boots are near impossible to find these days. : (

I don't know if it's just me but I think it would be easier with beige dicker, I like my taupe or maybe it is the style of the boots I like better than the colour ...
Coreena, I'll try to put on some pics of my so called french style ;) with dickers.

hey fawnzilla! I really like the beige colour too but its was all sold out and I havent seen it since. I think its a cross between taupe and meil. I think the style of the boots are exactly the same as current dickers, or am i wrong? :)

Would love to see your french style mod pics :) x

i hope she is legit, because she is selling a lot of other IM items and there are getting very high bids... eg Rolf sweater is almost at $700, Yikes.

darn that's what i was afraid of. steve madden quality always kind of sucks. they either fall apart really quickly or are super uncomfortable. i guess ill be keeping the reports and aldos then!

Sorry to hear about yours. If they getting another shipment, they should have you first on priority. I just emailed them-i got the black as i was too late for the taupe.

I'm beginning to think losing the taupe order was a good thing....

I wore my cognac dickers to my hair salon today, and a lady sitting in the next salon chair over flung a cup of coffee on the floor in my direction. The coffee JUST missed my Louis Vuitton bag and my IM boots by maybe an inch!:sweatdrop: OMG, I swear I would have cried like a baby!
How do you all get past the fear of getting them dirty?

I absolutely LOVE the quality and the comfort of these boots! I've tried Steve Madden, ASOS (uncomfortable and cheap), and DV by Dolce versions and none of them come close to the quality and look of the IM boots.
IM boots are worth every penny, and I know I will wear the heck out of them. :D I thought my black would get the most use, but I was looking through my closet this morning and realized i have a lot to wear with cognac. :cool: I have a pair of red j brand skinny pants on my next buy list. I think cognac and red will look great together.

I'm not so sure how I feel about the lighter color now.:thinkin: I think they will make me a nervous wreck.
