Are there any pics of people actually wearing the beeswax ones?
Also I've a question regarding sizing, since I live far away I will try to get them on ebay, and I don't owm many american shoes... only some Jack Purcells that are 11 (US). What size Clarks should I get? Thanks

I wear my Beeswax DBs with just about every color imaginable. If you look at some of the late fall through winter WAYWT posts, you'll come across a myriad of great examples. These boots are versatile, so wear what yo want and they are bound to look good.

Thank you. Any ideas on the sizing tho? I've seen that you are suppossed to get 1 size down, but that was in comparison with other boots. My only reference are the purcells or some chucks, so what size should I get? (I'm 11 US in those)
Thanks in adavance

Does Clarks make a color similar to these McAllister boots from J.Crew?

There's two options that I am going to suggest:

There's the Cola suede which is a UK exclusive but I think Oi Polloi and ASOS both carry them and ship to the US. (I've never ordered anything from Oi Polloi before but I remember someone on this board got hit with customs fees so I'd check into it before ordering from them; I've ordered several things from ASOS and never had an issue)

There are also the Brown suede that's available everywhere online Zappos, Endless, etc. They have a matching sole which I think is

at best

The Cola suede I think is the best match but is going to cost a bit to get over here. Good luck with whatever you choose.

edit-

this is almost perfect. would be perfect if the sole was black or dark dark brown. might have to settle for this. if anyone knows where we can pick one of these bad boys up, that would be swell.

They're not Camel Suede. They're lime.

Camel suede, predictably, is a colour similar to a camel.

+ To the person asking about sizes: DON'T buy your normal shoe size. Go half a size/a full size down. I went half a size, and they fit well.

Dude thats a different color. Completely

 

[JO3B]

the offical color for those brown leather ones a few posts up is 'oily brown'

that might help with your google searches.

i have a pair i've been wearing for a few years now.

I'm looking for suggestions on which model of desert boot will have the softest sole, making the least amount of noise when quietly sneaking up on a victim from behind. Can somebody help me out?
