It was the steel grey with the darkened crepe sole. Oh and the premium leather ones were $99

Pretty soon Target is going to start carrying jeans and t-shirts too. Those are so played out.

I stopped by the Clarks store in Santa Monica and they had the above plus beeswax for 69.99. I tried on the "premium" with the leather lining and while it was a bit more comfortable around the ankle I went for the beeswax as esthetically it was more pleasing to me.

I am really tempted to get a pair of Desert Boots but all my jeans are skinny jeans(DH 19CM and 17.5CM) is there a pair of Desert boots that look better with skinny jeans then others or would they just look bad with skinny jeans.

I wear them with New Cures and they look fine.

Sort of depends on your shoe size. I wear a sz 7 in Clarks DB, and it looks fine with a 7 inch leg opening. If I was wearing say, a size 9 or above, I think it would be out of proportion. It also depends on your seat and topblock, which balances out the shoe. If you have a very straight and narrow seat, your feet may look disproportionately large.

the target ones are really chunky compared to clarks in person.
