Nah, I have a pair on the way already. I just would have liked to try some on first to get the sizing 100% right. Thanks, though.

I went to the local Clarks store and they did a nationwide store search and found a pair of beeswax for me, I already have them. These are great looking shoes, no doubt. I also managed to get my hands on those grey ones, in fact I'm putting the order in today. I saw them in person and they look ******* great even when the sole has all that grime on it.

Do you like the beeswax or sand suede ones most? Did you see someone wearing the clarks sand suede or did you try them on yourself? I like the sand ones.

I think most of the colors I wear look better with the beeswax. I just can't wait until my grey suedes come in.

I think thats a great look, but I don't think I could pull that off. I don't have the right face for it. Very cool nonetheless.

ALso. what is the best way to clean the sole? Any products I should put on the leather to enhance the look?

I just got a pair at teh clarks store on the santa monica promenade today in the elusive beeswax. Wore them for 1/2 the day and there are marks on the side sole already!

My opinion is that blemishes and dirty soles or whatever else just adds character to the shoes.
If you really cared that much about the soles being dirty you probably wouldnt have bought them if it wasnt for SF.

i couldn't give a rat's ass how dirty they get since they are what's separating flesh from parking lot and whatnot, but they look like pencil erasers that will wear down after use.

I thought beeswax were always in brown. I didnt know there were many colours in beeswax?

Ive just bought some clarks desert trek in mahogany. I was also wondering how you clean, or can you clean the soles if they get dirty.? Like in wearing for many years and look silly like a tramp.
