@Neposedi Comgrats!!! That color varíes a lot in pics! Your pics show a great hue, I have found other pics of khaki-beige that look almost green. Would you mind letting me know how long do they measure from the insole?

Thanks!

They're actually a bit darker than that but not the green that most photos show.

I'm struggling to measure the insole but using pythag's theorem:
sole legnth: 9 inch
wedge height: 3.2 inch, (no rubber sole): 2.3

Which gives an approx insole length 9.2-9.55 inch.

Hi ladies! I'm wondering if the Beketts in black have 'made in portugal' written on the tongue?
I got mine from La Garconne and they don't have it. I've tried seeing if they are fake but seeing as how good fakes are getting I'm worried these might be even though La Garconne is a reputable site that maybe some sent back fakes and kept the authentic ones? I'm just so paranoid, I absolutely hate supporting and or owning unauthentic things.
Thanks in advance :)

I have the black Bekkets and they have the Made In Portugal stamp on the underside of the tongue.

Have you looked far enough down? Maybe yours have been stamped lower so you need to really dig in to see?

Hi! I wanted to share my second Bekket purchase with you all. Khaki! They look more green in photo, but are actually darker. I guess I need to wear them outside for a true idea of the color. Thoughts?

All my IM sneakers are the same size, but I have the Brians and they are bigger in the front than the Beketts. Probably because there are not as much layers of leather, the perforated part is just one layer. I feel that all of them (Bobbys, Beketts, Brians and Baltimores) are the right size for me. Since the Brians are sort of the same collection as the Bayas, maybe they're also a little bigger. I didn't feel the need to size down though. I hope the 40s are okay for you, they are really nice!!

Oh man! Lol! Now in worried! Thanks for responding! I'm getting them today and they are preowned so hopefully they have been stretched out a bit:) I will follow up with results! And if hey don't fit they are going to the bay :(

Finally got the bay as in! The 40 is a little tight so I would have to say that the Bekkets and bayas should be the same size! Maybe the bobby is different because of the suede! When I got them they were super dirty but I'm glad that they cleaned up really well and look brand new because that was my worry since they are white!
Here are before and after

Hi everyone! I've skimmed most of this thread, and it's only increased my desire to own a pair of IM sneakers! I've narrowed my options down to the Bekket style, but I'm torn between the Anthracite and the all-black! In a perfect world, I would buy both, but I don't have enough money to do that! :shucks: I really need help making a decision on these sneakers! I wouldn't have a problem styling either of them, as my wardrobe is pretty versatile. This only makes my decision harder! I have a few questions to ask anyone who has either pair of shoes! Do the Anthracite shoes look more dark brown or dark grey? Are the all-black shoes too edgy-looking? TIA! I'll love to hear what you amazing ladies have to say!

Do you have a pic or link to the Anthracite Beketts you're referring to?
I have both Anthra Beketts and all black ones and I have clear photos of them side by side so you can see the true colours, but they may be a different Anthracite to the ones you're looking at so would be no use to you at all :)

Ouch.
I'm sorry to say they're not authentic Isabel Marant. Please don't buy from that site.
Authentic Anthracite Beketts turn up on ebay/Bonz from time to time and black Beketts are currently available at legitimate online stores like Net-a-porter, Forward etc.
