The beeswax sahara boots show wear immediately, but then settle into a pretty cool state after two or three wearings that does not change much. They mold to your foot. I bought two pairs -- 10 and 10.5 -- not knowing my size. I thought I'd return one but decided to keep both considering the price (paid $40). And now (a month or so later) I wear both. I think because of the way they mold to your feet, you can go up a 1/2 size and not notice a difference. If I put them on blind-folded, I would have a hard time guessing which pair I was wearing, though the 10s were def. much more tight at first.

Do you have the item number for the sahara boot? BR customer service wasn't very helpful...

yeah the leather will definitely stretch. a 10 is stretching to fit on you, a 10.5 is your correct size probably so it own't stretch much.

Do you know this for a fact? Clarks.com is run by/fulfilled by Zappos. You can't "call" Clarks.

I went to my local Clark's store and they did a nationwide search. I paid full price for them but they were shipped to my house for free. I went to Martin + Osa and did the same thing, but ordered the grey ones, they should be coming in tomorrow.

Call any of their retail stores. They'll track a pair down for you if they don't have it in stock and ship it to you where ever you are.

BR carries sand suede as well as beeswax? Cool!

Did you buy the Clarks from BR, Clark's, or Martin + Osa, or all three? Which gray ones? Gray suede?

All 3. I bought beeswax from Clarks and BR. Bought the grey suede from M + O for 54.99 FYI, I tried to get a pair of sand suede but after doing a nationwide search they told me they didn't have any left.

Yeah, I am trying to find Sand Suede (Clarks version, not BR version) and I can't find it anywhere. Clarks is the only shoe I've found that has so much inventory tied across the board. Sorry, that's confusing. What I mean is that if you go to any major shoe site (shoesonline, zappos, endless), their inventories match. You won't find Sand Suede 8.5 on any for example.

Thanks to everyone's help just got a pair of Beeswax in 8.5 from Atlanta. Strangely, they charged me tax even though I insisted they are not supposed to since I am from out of state.

14.97 + $8 shipping + tax = $24.17

Edit: I get it. It must be because the state I am in has BR stores.
