Your sentiments are completely understandable. However, it appears that enough buyers are willing to pay as a search of actual sales shows that pairs are/were moving at around that price. Also, speaking from experience, I've had to fork out significant surcharges (taxes, customs fees, shipping, foreign transaction cc fee) especially when ordering from abroad. I feel like I'm getting a discount if I can find a pair from a retailer that does not involve additional charges. <end rant>
Well, guess there are more loyal fans than I am. For me it is the principal, I refuse to be gouged. Well then there is a great pair of Bobby's in royal blue on bonanza for about 895. Found it funny that she mentioned she got the at BG and the tax she paid etc for the shoes since she is in Cali and tax isn't charged. I am willing to pay a bit more for a color that is rare and no longer produced but not 25% more.
I think there are also ppl that buy them expecting to turn around and sell them
For a premium....I find those sellers irritating...guess it's like that bal
Moto seller that ppl have been having issues with lately
You could try using a high quality suede cleaner and either a soft brush or a soft cloth to clean them, however, I would recommend taking them to a good cobbler and asking them what they recommend either for DIY cleaning or for their services. I have been able to remove smudges and stains myself but I have never tried color transfer removal. Smudges and stains are one thing, but color transfer deals with dye so it might be a little more of a challenge. What you don't want is to accidentally continue to transfer color in an attempt to clean it. Also, if you do take them to a cobbler, ask exactly HOW they remove the transfer. One time I took a pair of suede shoes to a cobbler to be cleaned and he told me he could remove the stains with no problem. When I picked my shoes up, the suede was stiffer and seemed worn down in the spots where he cleaned. When I asked him why it looked like that he said, "Well, we add a cleaning solution and then scrub them with a firm brush, that's how we remove the stain." If I had known exactly what the process was, at least I could have asked better questions about what could possibly happen to my shoes and the suede!
Can you post a pic or two so we can see how bad the color transfer is? Maybe other ladies will chime in.
Thank you SOOO much! Your input is super helpful. I will definitely post pictures tomorrow morning. Ever since the iPhone app stopped working it's been more cumbersome to post pics hehe. I'll get to my computer in the morning, and take some pics of the wilas as well
Hi ladies!
I live in NZ and a local store is getting the Dicker boot and the Bobby sneaker both in anthracite next month. I have been wanting the Dickers for so long now but also want the bobby. Can I justify having both in the same colour?
I bought a pair of Dickers in taupe off NAP but they were too small and I'm scared to order them online again since I don't get my customs tax back. Is it safer to just buy the pair I try in store?
Need opinions, such a big decision!

I have no problem with resellers but when the markup goes so high for something that you can buy for less in the store I just don't get it. I know a lot of resellers get their items on sale and so they can offer a small discount and still make a profit but really almost 900.00 for shoes that cost 640. and can be found in the store, hmm. I see this with WOCs too. They are available so why would you pay so much more for a used one when you can get the same thing new.
congrats Kat, love them. Modelling pic?
sure! as soon as I can!

Id go to the store and try both on...having both on your feet will help your descion, one or the other may suit you more, be more comfortable etc...I returned some cute Basleys coz I found the Bobbys to be more comfortable and they suited me better...
Congrats !!! These were my first ever sneaker colorway from 3 years ago
Minus the star of course !
Yes mod pics pls and enjoy them in good health !!

You are very welcome!
Im in love w/ the combo and looking forward to get the red version eeeeeek! this has to stop!
Sizing question ladies; I normally wear a EU 39-39.5. I have a pair of MBMJ mouse flats which are a 39.5 but the rest of my shoes differ heaps. I am a EU40 in the Dicker boots. Do you think I would be a 39 or 40 in the Bobbys? I am only on the waitlist for a 40 so don't want to get them and they're too big...Any help would be appreciated!
