Clarks Desert Boots

[Verno Inferno]

^ I'll do the same. At the store the other day, I measured 9US on the Brannock device. I went with the 8.5s. Though moderately snug in the middle of my foot, they are way more comfy than the 9 that I tried on. The 9s felt very similar in the foot (no slippage at the heel), but the ankle material of the boot was too big and felt weird when I walked around. I'm happy with the half-size reduction after a couple days of wear.

let me contribute on the sizings too. Basically just buy whateve size you are in in converse chucks for a loose fit, and 1/2 size down from chucks for a snug fit and stretch it later.

Leave it. The bleeding looks great.

Sale on DBs at the Piperlime website for those interested.

Looks like at least so far the sale is only for certain colors and not the sand suedes I've been eyeing. Maybe they will all be included soon?

Is there any real difference between this DB and the black suede? http://www.glorysales.com/clarks-ori...sed-p-514.html Black suede or distressed black?

Okay so I was brushing my teeth and dropped a few bits of water on my clarks, and what the ****. Instant stain, can't get it out. tried rubbing with a dry cloth, didn't do anything. tried rubbing with a damp cloth, made it worse.

I googled solutions to water stains on suede, and I found a lot of different ones that are all tedious and annoying.

Is there an easy or efficient way to get water stains out my clarks?

and I do plan on getting them treated after fixing them.

Nah, just wear them in the rain, rough them up.
I tried to baby mine for a while, its futile.
And silly, they're boots.
It's like when you get a new pair of white shoes, and they look goofy at first, and then you get one mark on them and it looks silly but later once they're all evenly beat, they look good.

I had that happen with a pair of sand suede ones of mine. It was a pin prick of water, about half a centimeter in diameter. It got there when I was washing my hands in the morning, and it showed up very dark on the shoe.

The way I got rid of it was wetting my fingers with a bit of water, shaking off excess (damp cloth probably would work fine), and rubbing it slightly over the area on the dot and around it. Later on that day, I took a round brush (http://www.thecosmeticmarket.com/ima...oundBrushL.jpg) and buffed the area in a circular pattern. After that, the spot had completely vanished. If you've got a suede brush, that would probably work better. I didn't have one handy at the time.
