I just bought a pair in sand suede on sale at endless. I don't remember them being so slim since the last time I tried some on.

I blame myself - put a pair in my online cart no longer than 36 hours ago and I ran out to do laundry before checking out.

Anyone know if Endless does these sales regularly?? $66 a pair plus free 2 day shipping is, imho, a helluva deal.

Ehh just be patient. Sales on these seem to appear frequently. Piperlime just had pairs of beeswax for $70 shipped (on sale at $79 with 20% off code, free shipping).

Both my katahdins and beeswax wallabees stained my socks the first few months I wore them.


If anybody`s interested in a New pair of Taupe Suede Desert boots size 9.5, check my sig below. I`m in Canada so if you are also, you can save on customs charges.

My apologies if this question has already been asked, but..

Should I buy my DB's a tad tight to account for breaking in and stretch?

Bing cashback on endless (bing is almost over for good though) when it is 30%... Brings them to 66.50 shipped if they are full price (and less if you get one of the colors that is discounted but a little bit already)

avexdevil, those shoes on the last page are aging beautifully. I love what those are doing.

with that said, using mink oil is a great idea for keeping your leather going. it's cheap (like 6 bucks or something for a tin.) just put a little bit of it on an old sock and rub it into the leather. wipe off any excess that's on the shoe and let it dry for about 24 hours. continue wearing.

No. Never buy any shoe a tad tight. Buy a shoe that's comfortable.

picked up a pair of beeswax at the rack today for 60 bucks. if any of you live in/around san diego, the mission valley nr has a bunch more pairs, albeit not many in beeswax.

i have a pair of desert treks that i love and have beaten the **** out of over the past couple years. looking forward to doing the same to these.

Just want to add my experience on sizing, since I finally got it right. I would go half US size down from dress shoe size (size measured on brannock device). Or go by the UK size and size down 1 full size (ie if you are a 10US, go down to a 9UK which is marked 9.5US).
