Originally 38. 34 waist, 38 inseam. I think they probably shrunk to around 35.

I should have gone with 36 length. I thought they'd shrink more than they did.

They show up as $62 until you put them in your cart. Then they go back up to $90. I'm guessing they're no longer on sale.

Would wearing a pair of brown Clarks clash with APCs and a black shirt? Or would the black suede Clarks look better?

Black suede clarks has to be the ugliest pair they make.

THINKING about buying a pair of desert boots. Which color would be the most versatile? I normally wear dark blue jeans, a blackish/charcoalish pair of jeans and also some beige jeans.

I just bought a pair of beeswax and think they look great with blue denim. Have not treated them as of yet but will be doing that. Will take some photos before treatment and after mink oil treatment. I normally wear a 10 1/2 to 11 but fit a 10 in these desert boots!

Yes they are Clark's. You could call a Clark's store and ask where to find one. They have excellent customer service and I'm sure they'd be able to direct you to a store that has them or order them for you.

I have a question too. Anyone know where one could get beeswax desert boots on sale that have them in half sizes?

I have a pair of black suede, they are alright..........match well with raw jeans or grey pants/trousers........definitely not an ugly pair.

I now own the chocolate suede, grey distressed, and wolf suede, and I think they all match up well with jeans. I take into consideration what else I'm wearing and the weather. I tend not to wear the chocolate in warmer weather.

how do your black suedes look with black or navy blue trousers (dress trousers)? have you worn it with a button up shirt tucked in?

I just recently got a pair of beeswax in 9.5 from villageshoes.com, so I would think they have other half sizes too. They had pretty good customer service, too; I initially got a pair of 10's, I called them and said they were a little big (I usually wear 10.5 or even 11 in some stuff, but the 9.5's fit me perfectly), and they shipped the exchange pair before I even had time to send the 10's back.

I also have another question: I saw some people mentioning treating their beeswax boots- what would I want to treat them with and how soon (I have been wearing them for almost a week so far, and I do have some Lexol 'neatsfoot leather dressing' and some mink oil. Which one should I use?)

I already have a brown suede chukka from Crockett and Jones, but I'd like to know if they'll look odd with dark indigo jeans and a black T. Or must I wear a black or grey shoe?

I like the grey Clarks.
