I have the fringed knee-high boots, the Manly boots, and as to the size, they run small, so you should take a size bigger than you normally use. I am a size 36, and size 37 fits me perfectly.. If you are going for the shorter version of the fringed boots, the Mony boots, these are more true to size..

ladies - quick question for those that purchased IM dickers THIS season: are they running true to size? reason i ask is last season, i bought IM dickers in taupe and they were true to size. this was after that whole debacle of the dickers running small to size in previous seasons. anyway, THIS season (fall 2011), i have heard that they are running LARGE to size.

so basically, here is my dilemma. last season, i bought the dickers in taupe size 39. i am a true US 8.5/9. the 39's fit like a glove...PERFECT. now, THIS season, i bought them online in black size 39 again assuming that they would fit the same as last season. should i have gotten a 38 instead? unfortunately i haven't received them yet so this is where i need feedback from you ladies!! :-)

i am so confused with her sizing. one season, they ran small to size. the next season, TTS. then this season, large to size! what is THE DEAL?????

I am US size between 7.5 & 8, for boots I prefer size 38. I got my taupe (2011) size 38 and they fit well. So if you are between size, go the nearest size in your case 39 should fit you well.

I think it all depends on your personal style and what you like and feel comfortable in! ;) I tried on the shorter version fringe Mony boots (totally my style and love them!) but the 4" wedge is a deal breaker for me, I am running around all of the time and it's just not practical. I love the look though! :heart: I think if you have to think about it for too long, it might not be a good purchase for you, sometimes it pays to go with your gut feeling.

I think you are right!:-) if i have to ask opinion and not really sure about it maybe i dont really need them THAT much in my life:) plus there is suede and Toronto is wet right now, i will be afraid of damaging them! I have to admit the white ones are Beautiful though! Both short and long versions!

Can you all stand yet another sizing question?

I normally wear an 8.5 US, but I prefer to wear 39 EUR (vs a 38.5) because I have one foot that is pushing a 9. I have a pair of '11 Dixies in 39 that fit pretty much perfectly with tights or very thin socks (the big foot is the littlest bit tight, but the leather is stretching out fine and I can wear them all day no problems).

If I want to put myself on a wait list for Dickers, should I choose a 39 or size up a bit to a 40? My concern is the extra inch in heel height will make my toes slide down a bit. What do you experts think?

Stick with the 39. I have Dickers from last season and Dixie from this season and IMO the sizing is the same.

I absolutely love the Mony fringey boots!! They look great I think just with simple tops. Think they do look classic! But I am concerned over sizing. I wear a Dickers 39 from last year's collection. Should I get a 38 or 39 for the Mony? It's pricey so hope i don't make a mistake. Could anyone please advise? Thank you :)

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)

wow, this color is so lovely, congrats on this rare find.

My experience with the Steven Madden STEVEN PEMBROOK knock-offs is completely different than from the OP's below. I have three pair of the Stevens...different colors: cognac, taupe, and black. IMO, they are FABULOUS! Sure, they don't have a leather sole, which for me is just fine. The poster below feels that the soles are too thin, but I do not find that to be the case. I think the quality of the shoes is excellent, and for the price, I think the overall value is outstanding! The suede is beautiful.

I ordered a half-size larger to make room for my Smartwool footies (which I love!), and the booties fit like a glove. They are gorgeous!

And now I have officially ended my search for the IMs. Shoes should never be that hard to locate and purchase, and quite honestly, I am pleased having spent a few less bucks and walking away with three pairs.

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.

Hi :-).. I have the Manly boots (the knee-high fringed boots) and after having tried on the Mony boots as well, I would say that you should go for the size that you usually wear - normally I am a size 36, and I would also go for a size 36 for the Mony.. Hope this helps :-)..
