Boxermom, so you have cognac and black? You are still trying for the taupe? If you are scared about the cognac then I would really think you would worry about getting the taupe stained. I still have not worn mine. They are still in the box. I have black and taupe. I keep trying them on with different outfits around the house but still can't decide. I would love to keep both but I can't really afford it. There are so many other things I need on my list. I am also going to Paris in 3 weeks so i don't know if I should take my chances and send them back to BG and try to get them in Paris cheaper. When I ordered from Bergdorf they were $615 with no tax since I live in WI and I didn't have to pay shipping. Did anyone buy theirs in France and do u think i should wait? I will be there 10/9 - 10/15.

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.

I had my heart set on owning taupe after I pre-ordered, and now I can't seem to get it out of my mind. I was truly heart broken when Edon Manor emailed me with the bad new.
Edon offered me 15% off for next season, but it still doesn't take the sting away of getting a shipping notice one day and then a cancellation the next.

Congrats. I think I called them before for the burnout Tee. They asked me if I was looking for Taupe dickers and if I was from MA. LOL I was thinking they must have been talking with another TPFer. I am happy you found them.

LOL.. that would be me!! Thanks! They were getting in two pairs of 37s, and there were two people waiting in the list.. but I added my name in case one of them decided not to get them. I guess the 2nd person didn't call back and they called me and I said yes!! :p

> How do you all get past the fear of getting them dirty?

If I had the Miel I would worry. But Taupe isn't too far from dirt color.
Suede isn't always as delicate as it may seem. If it were a glove weight
I might be concerned but this is fairly thick and a lot of things can be cleaned off.
Having said that, what I would worry about is red wine, car grease, and peanut butter.

Also isn't part of the appeal of Marant her 'rock n' roll' slant? Scuffs on boots
are an integral part of a rock n' roll style. I wouldn't be as concerned about scuffed up
Marant boots as I would be say a damaged Chanel ballet flat or an Hermes loafer.

I would suggest calling Barney's Co-op in Philadelphia, they seem to have (or had) more stock than most stores.

omg, that was close! I think the cognac would be quite versatile - and would look great with red j brands as well. How do you like the cognac color? It seems to look different in various pics.

Just got a call from Lake Boutique and I was able to order a pair of taupe Dickers since I was bumped up from the wait list! :yahoo:

Yay! I hope I will be able to find the taupe for spring :)

How to get over the paranoia of getting the lighter coloured Dicker boots dirty? Does this picture help? :smile1: (Sorry about the repost but I thought it was appropriate.)

I sprayed both my taupe and black Dickers with a water/stain repellant spray. It should help to keep the dirt off -- and hopefully the coffee wouldn't have penetrated straight away, giving you time to clean it up. Nerve wrecking moment, I can imagine.

LOL! Great pic.:D
They are a relaxed shoe, so I guess I should relax.
I seriously love the comfort and the style is so me. I sprayed mine with water/stain protector. I didn't spray the heel....should I?
