Hallo there,

I would like to ask for your help. I love the look of Clarks Desert boots 2, but i have too wide feet. Do you any recommendations based of very simiklar look of Clarks DB2, but with larger width?

Thanks!

New arrival, purchased during the Queen's Jubilee.

Brand: Herring Shoes (by Barker)
Colour: Waxy Snuff Suede and Castagnia Suede
Model: Cirencester
Last: 026
Welt: 360
Sole: Commando Light Weight by Wearlight

I took advantage of an special price and decided that I needed both colours. I have to confess that I felt buyer's remorse, but when the boots arrived, remorse turned into joy.

Very nice shape, the flaps hug the feet (simlilar to Tricker's Aldo or Cobbler Union chukka) and are friendly with my high instep so there are not unsighty wrinkles. The last is comfortable, similar to C&J's 325 or Loake's Capital. An excellent option for travelling because they are truly lightweight.

Berwick chukkas from AFPOS, as always great service

Material: Reverse kudu suede
Last: HO291
Colour: Snuff
Sole: Crepe rubber sole

Highly recommended, these chukkas will become my summer best friend. I am finding that if taking pictures to shoes is easy, is because the last and patern work very well together.

Do you live in poor public subsidized dwellings for the poor? Like wtf? Seriously? Are you ok? I feel like I should call some sort of protective services for your based on your inhospitable dwelling. Please let me know you are okay. I will say a prayer for you, brother; no one should have to exist in such a **** house. :(
I don't understand your rant, we are talking about chukka boots, not if you like other people's dwellings or how they live. If somebody has a problem, it seems to be yours. :mad:

First wear of Morjas’s reintroduced Chukka in dark brown suede. Extremely comfy straight out the box. Wore them for 45 mins to run errands this morning, and it felt like I was in sneakers. Great silhouette as well. Bought these to replace a pair of Cobbler Union (CU) chukkas where the last didn’t work for my feet.
