were they too short and/or too narrow? Downsizing 1 work well for me.

The length was almost perfect but around towards the middle of the boot it was far too tight and painful to wear.

Sizing down 1 full size was perfect for me with regular socks on but were a bit snug with my thick wool socks...

Anyhow black suede desert boots for sale in a 8.5 (only worn once). Pm me if interested mates!

Yeah, I noticed that too! I think he is. I've seen other shots where it looks like he has some kind of desert boot on.

Again, there can't be a hard and fast rule about this. You have to try them on and see what size fits your foot.

+1 on the beeswax. I'm hoping to get a pair for Christmas. I just think they're more versatile (re: rain) than suede.

I prefer this than the grey with dark soles.

I think suede is much nicer than the beeswax myself. But it's all personal preference.

Indeed suede does own.

But... DBs are hard to find? Really? They're in my local shoe store. And doesn't zappos still offer them?
