birkingal, I am happy to hear you discovered a version of the Dicker boot that works for your feet. I so understand your frustration -- just on the other end of the spectrum. My feet are too long for most designer and/or funky shoes, it's intensely frustrating.

Here are a couple of pics of my cognac Dixie boot. They are actually a little lighter and brighter IRL, the light wasn't good when I took the pictures.

i think a 39 is going to be too big for you. i have two girlfriends who are both US7.5 and they both got the dickers in the EU37. considering you're a US8-8.5, my guess is that you're going to be an EU38 in the dickers. and these boots stretch quite a bit. i've worn my taupe dickers (39) several times and in the morning, when i put them on, they are quite loose. but by the afternoon, my feet have swollen up and fill them out.

if you're thinking about ordering online without trying them on, you're pretty safe in ordering a 38. a 39 would DEFINITELY be too big.

thanks jettsett! I just checked my F&B boots (i think they are the ella, can't remember the style though) and they are size 38 and fit perfect. I will go with the size 38 for the dickers...now just need to find them! to ebay i go :)

Thanks lefashiongirl. Cognac is a bit more resilient than taupe and quite versatile, even for someone like me who wears practically no brown. I found them in a local shop here, priced below the retail price charged in the US. Definitely worth the money, I get so much wear out of my IM boots.

yeah i was thinking the color was more versatile - and I don't wear much brown either, but I think the look gorgeous with black, grey and brights.

Which shop did you find them in? is it outside of the US? If in the US I wonder if they ship to other states?

Hi, I saw that most of the pictures posted here are wearing dickers with casual clothes. Does anyone here match your dickers with more formal/work-style skirt or pants? I am thinking if black suede dickers can be matched with work clothes...

hi... i do match my dickers with work clothes.. and try to balance it out with a long vest..
really works.. its usually my black dickers that i wear to work rather than my taupe which i feel is more casual.
HTH!

Hi everyone :)
I need your opinions :)
In an outlet store i saw these isabel marant boots in black with a blue chain around the ankle.I think they are named Franklin.
They were reduced from 810 to 160 euro and there was a pair left in my size :D
The SA put them aside for me until monday,because i wanted to ask you guys first if they are a good investment :)
What do you think?

Yesterday at the Rue Jacob boutique...

I went in, and a lovely SA came up to me straight away asking if I was looking for anything particular ( at first we spoke in french, then I ran out of words and started in english, thank god haha. ) I said, ankle boots, then asked about the dickers, dixies, and the new chelsea style. She apologised and told me they had sold out of all! Except for the new chelsea style in calf skin thats pointy, which really is not for me. At this point I was probably looking very depressed that they didn't have any! But then, she said she would go check out back. And came back with a box. THEY WERE IN MY SIZE! At this point I was so happy..

But what was it she brought out?I'll post pictures when I'm back (don't want to leave! :( )

Also in Paris I'm absolutely loving Claudie Pierlot. I found the sweetest coat, hopefully will go pick it up tomorrow. Love Paris!
