Is this considered acceptable?

I want to buy a pair but I have this idea that boots in the spring and summer doesnt make sense...

Boots all year round. Seriously, even if it goes well over 100 here (even in September) boots are still my first choice.

Well, unless we are talking about fur lined, thermal or ski boots

I've heard that suede boots, such as Clarks Desert Foo, are supposed to be cooler. Because they're generally unlined and the suede side creates insulating air pockets when turned in. Can anyone confirm this anecdotally?

You're likely a 9.5 in Red Wings too, but if you can get to a Red Wing retailer, utilize their computerized fit system and find out what size you need for sure.

I got into an argument at a the Red Wing Store over what size shoe I should buy. His machine said 10.5 and I told him I can't wear a 10.5 that I want an 11. He wouldn't even bring out an 11 for me to try on saying he couldn't be responsible for fitting me with an incorrectly sized shoe and that his machine is never wrong. So I left the store.
