None. My point is, they're pretty cheap to begin with.

We won't tell anyone, and I doubt anyone will call you on it.

Agreed; Desert Boots will stretch a significant amount. I think the guy with the width issue will be fine in a few weeks.

I like them because they're a little bit chunkier than DB's, but i'm not sure


I've had a pair for about 18 months. They were a replacement for a favorite pair of Havana Joe chukkas that I had for a decade. The main sticking point is the bulky toe box. Otherwise they're decent beater boots - a small step up in durability from dessert boots, but a step down in style.

I recently got the grey suede DB. I was not planning on wearing them on a daily basis but now I can’t resist; I love these shoes. They are getting dirty though; any suggestions on cleaning them? (not much experience cleaning suede)
