I didn't realize that you could get them in Beeswax. I'd imagine those look great. Too bad they have such a light colored sole. My one complaint about my sand desert boots is that most of the sole is stained a black and looks nasty.

Of the three in the original post I really like the sand suede as it makes them stand out more from your everyday suede boot and it is the color I think of when I think of desert boots.

I debated b/w the grey and beeswax and ended up getting the beeswax. Been wearing them for about 2wks and they look great. I would probably get the grey ones whenever I see them on sale, but until then I'm gonna work on the leather ones to get them the worn-in look.

Beeswax are sweet. I had a pair in dark green many years ago.

How do the soles hold up? I've never had good luck with crepe soles, but they look so cool while they last. Much nicer than any other rubber sole Clarks has made certainly.

My boots have arrived. They are maybe 1/2 size too large, but I wear a 14 and there aren't 13.5's available. The color and leather are fantastic. I'll post pics soon.

The sole after one day. These pics were taken after I applied Mink Oil to waterproof them. It made them a little bit darker.

Nice. They look really good with jeans. I was thinking about the getting the ones in brown suede but these might be better.
