Don't know your sarcasm stats. But if you truly believe in the above, I feel sorry for you....

My pair of taupe suede DBs came in the mail today. There are a few scuffs on the side, wondering if it's possible to polish or buff these out? Also, what product is best used to protect the suede? Thanks!

Does anybody here have a pair of wallabees also? If so, are they the same as your desert boot size?

Those aren't scuffs. You shoes are predistressed. Seriously, if you worry about every scuff or other mark on your suede DBs, these are NOT going to be the shoe for you.

Just picked up the desert boots in Oakwood Suede. Really unimpressed with the color, so I put some Doc Marten's Wonder Basalm on them and I am much happier.

So why'd you pick them up if you were unimpressed?

Because the color online was totally different than the actual color, guy. They look nothing like this:

Ah, I see. I guess that's why I hardly ever buy anything online.
