My 2 cents: I LOVE my taupe Dickers. For those of you worried about getting them dirty - lighten up!;) Life happens and shoes do get dirty. That said, with a little Applegarde (or similar stain repellent) and a suede brush, you can keep them looking good. The taupe is really the best color she's done, IMHO. It's the perfect olivey gray that goes with everything. The only other color I would really love to have is the anthracite she did a few seasons back.
Wish those would come back!
 
I'm wondering if anyone is experiencing this with their boots...

When I walk the boots make a really strange squeaky sound. It's kind of annoying me. If I stand on the heel of the boot, the toe box/whole front part of the boot does not touch the floor. It's almost as if the boots were made with the intention of adding a sole to it and there's this extra space for it.

Nope, don't have that problem. But I did put a sole on, just to extend the life span. I do this with all my leather soled shoes (eventually, I sometimes wear them for a little while before having the sole added).
 
I just got my IM boots:yahoo:. Quick question: did you get your IM boots re-soled before you started wearing them? I lived in a small town, the only cobbler nearby has so bad reputation. I don't want them destroy my new IM boots:sad:. thanks!

Congrats!!! I normally wait til I putting few miles on my shoes before sending them to cobbler to re-soled. If you are not happy with your local cobber... go out of town, it is worth to take your $615 shoes to a trusted cobber even if you need to drive an hour to get there...

agreed! what's the point of having impeccable shoes that you never wear? go get some mileage out of your shoes, you'll feel fabulous wearing them! no harm in spraying them with some suede protector first though : )
 
Woot woot!! Anthracite dickers !

Just picked up my dicker boots I bought from the bay.

They were pre-owned, but had very light wear on the soles (paid 4 bills for them, which were a plus!!)

I am sure these are from last season as these 38's fit more snug than my new pair of dickers in 38. The dust bag as well are made of a lighter, thinner material.

I actually prefer the snugger fit 'cause I find the 2011 dickers a little loose. I should have gone down to a 37 this season, but I can't exchange them anymore.

Anyways, I have included a pic! (They are a dark charcoal grey...the flash makes them look a lot lighter in colour)

Congrats to you! Yes, I have mine resoled after a few wears, it came in handy more than once. These booties aren't cheap and I want them to last the longest:D
 
Congratulations, they look gorgeous. I love this colour. Please post some modeling pics.
