Clarks Desert Boots

[robertorex]

I don't think the brogues go very well with a crepe sole. I don't think I've seen broguing work on anything besides a leather sole, in fact.

^^^ They will need to pay me to wear those boots.

I have seen much, much better attempts at casual footwear w/ broguing.

I think those have been out before. I have a pair of lows and the quality to price ratio isn't great, nice looking shoes though

Ok so first post here haha. My aunt is coming over from the UK next month and is going to pick me up a pair of black leather Point Takens. I am having a seriously hard time picking what size she should get. She is telling me she cant get any half sizes so basically I wear an 8.5 in nike/vans snug and a 9 with a little room. I have a pair of chocolate suede wallys from 1999 which are a UK7 and a US 8 and they fit very very very snug, but not uncomfortable. Thats the only pair of shoes I have that is that small, all others are equally 8.5's and 9's. Basically she is either gonna get me a UK7 or a UK 8 and I need some help making my decision. Also I will probably be inserting a Dr Scholls liner so that may take some space.

What can I use to keep the beeswax leather in good condition? I don't want to darken it too much.

Anyone? Sorry to be persistent but my relatives will be traveling over here soon.

Have you tried calling a Clarks store?

 

[Dillardiv]

to those who used Pecard's. What did you use? I'm thinking about the Boot Leather Dressing. Or the Leather Dressing

After following this thread for quite sometime, I finally decided to pick up a pair while I was visiting NYC this past weekend. I ended up getting both the Beeswax and a pair in Taupe Suede. And for the record I went a half size down to a 10 from my usual 10.5 and they fit great.

Thanks for all the information everyone. I'm very happy with my boots.

Probably too small.

Has anyone had experience replacing the laces on clarks desert boots? One of mine broke today and I'm looking for a new pair. I found this website http://www.shoelacesexpress.com/flatdress.asp and I'm thinking about the beige colored ones. Any opinions/ other options?
