Here's my beloved 2 recently.

Trying very hard to stay away from the forum as I'm on a serious shopping ban.

For those worried about how the Wilas, Bekket and Bayley will look on shorter girls, I'm 5", I totally understand. I have really short chunky legs & was apprehensive towards the Bayleys. But I just love the way they looked so much on everybody else. I bought them online without seeing them or knowing if they would even suit my frame.

I have to say I feel more comfortable wearing the Bayleys with jeans, but I've worn them with shorts, skirts and dresses and I thought it looked ok.

So my advice if you're reluctant to buy them cos you think it's too overwhelming, buy the damn shoes and just rock them, haha!

i finally got my Bobby today from Barney's but I am so disappointed in the color :sad:. I ordered the shoes in taupe but it looks more like khaki than taupe. Totally different from what I saw on the website. It has a lot of green undertone to it although the box says taupe. I already have a pair of khaki Dicker from last season too. Also the sizing is very confusing to me. I am a 7/38 but for some reason this season the US7 is EU37. I was kinda reluctant when I placed the order but then I was afraid that the 8/38 would be too big plus a lot of people here said they'd stretch out. I guess I'll just have to make my way to Barney's and hope that they'll have the color and size that I want there :crybaby:. Wish me luck guys.

I went to the isabel marant store in LA and saw the new fall collection of shoes and noticed some variances between seasons. the new Fall suede dickers weren't as soft - as in the suede part of it seemed more distressed and "dry" and not as fuzzy.

the Fall bobbys had some awesome colors and aomalita was right in that the sizes seemed to have gotten bigger - US7 is now 37 like she said. My guess is IM changed from FR sizing to EU/IT sizing?

all my bobbys from the two past seasons were made in portugal, but the Fall bobbys i tried on were made in China and there was this weird part that dug into the back of my ankle. i usually wear 38 bobbys, but the ones i tried on were 37s - even tho they fit, it may explain the ankle dig.

Could you let us know what colors bobbys have in the Fall season? I understand there are brown and taupe. Whatelse have you seen? :nuts:

Hi girlies!

Loving my collection of IM shoes here in the AUstralian winter. So far I have black Willa, taupe Bobby and black suede Dicker.

Just wondering what socks you girls wear with your bobby and dickers? I like the no sock look and prefer it to look like I am wearing none, but can't seem to find anything apporpriate to achieve this...if I fold socks down they slip and slide.. and court shoe socks don't seem thick enough. I will try a few more brands though and look for something better! Any suggestions?

Also, I am heading to europe in September. Where is best price/stock for IM out of London and Paris? I might add another to my collection! And what looks are you guys loving for this season that I should look out for?

I've tried many brands of socks to find the perfect ones for IM dickers and bobbys. They turned out to be a brand called "No Nonsense" http://www.nononsense.com/Socks/Womens-Socks/Sport/ahh-sport/Ahh---Womens-No-Show-Socks.aspx

No slippage, very comfy, no show - comes in black or white. Price is only $5 for a 3 pack!

I'm confused...

I was on Forward and they have both the Faded Black Bekkets and the Noir (true black) Bekkets.... Why are the Faded ones $695 and the Noir $640?! $55 bucks is a huge difference. Are my Faded Black pairs lined inside with gold? Did I miss a memo??

Also, that's the pricing across all US sites, not just Forward.

I noticed too that some of the dickers weren't as soft! Looks like there is a different sort of finish on certain colors, but I do think even in the past all the different colors varied in softness. I always thought camel and anthracite were the softest. I loved them so much I bought them in noir and kaki, but those went back because they were pretty stiff and didn't feel as slouchy.

Hi everyone! Does anyone have the Beketts and the Caleen boots? How does the sizing compare? I'm unsure as to what size I should take for the Caleen. I have the Beketts (the right foot was originally tight, but they have since loosened up), so should I purchase the Caleen in a 39 too? I'm usually a US 8.5 and generally size up when it comes to EU sizing to a 39. The option of purchasing two sizes would be a bit difficult, so I'm hoping to guess right the first time! Thank you for your help!

(This was also posted in the IM boots thread, so I apologize if you're reading all of this twice!)

I'm a 38 in Bekett and Bobby, but the 38 Caleen was really big on me. I'd take a 37, so you would probably need a 38.
