I love the leopard too!

I want to warn you, though- be very, very careful with it. I got the flat leopard booties earlier in the season, and after the first wear, the black leopard spots had rubbed off onto the suede, leaving black rub marks. After bringing them to my shoe repair person, the boots were completely ruined- the black dye had rubbed off on the entire body of the boots, rendering them completely unwearable. I was so sad.

I have contacted the owner of V.O.D. Boutique in Dallas, where I bought the boots, to get a refund, but I still have not gotten a straight answer. I have been going back and forth with them for weeks. It has been a nightmare. I only wore the boots once, and just want my money back... they were $725!

I hope the leopard print works out better for you. I was told that IM very rarely provides refunds for defective merchandise, so be very careful with your new boots! I would hate for something similar to happen to you.

If you paid with a credit card, contact your credit card company. I have had similar things happen, and my cc company refunded my money and filed a dispute with the retailer. Good luck.

I also spoke to La Garconne about the colors of Taupe vs Khaki Dickers- they told me that the taupe this season have a good amount of brown tones to them- more so than what would be expected in a "taupe" color. If this is what you were looking for, you'll be pleased! I have the old taupe Dickers, and I believe they are much more beige-grey than the new ones.

Did they say whether the khaki was as green as it appears in the photos?
I have a feeling I'm going to be disappointed.
The seller that listed the 2012 taupe changed the photos and they look almost chocolate brown.

I didn't ask anything about the green hue of the khaki, just the brown-ness of the taupe. I ended up going with the khaki myself, just because I didn't think I would like anything like the milk chocolate color that was depicted- when I receive them, I'll let you know of the actual color-- regardless, all are beautiful boots!

I did overnight shipping and they came today!

The colour is taupe, and I'm really happy with them!

They are sort of dark, but I like it so much. They're definitely the colour I was hoping for since I missed the cognac/chocolate colour from before.

I'm wearing them with tri-blend american apparel leggings (around my house, not out :p) just so you can get a gist of the colour.

I would say they are seriously right in the middle of brown and grey.
Maybe a pinch more grey, but not too grey like the anthracite colour (I tried those on at the IM store in Soho at the end of Nov, but wanted a more brown)...
