Real comfortable and soft, feels like wearing a slipper.

i just got a pair too. i find them super comfy. my friends were a little put off at first by the masculine vibes they were giving out when i first showed interest, and then all dissolved into aww-ing and omg-ing once i finally had them on. they really do look cute on girls, fyi.

Suede ones break in easily. Within two or three days they're like a second skin.

Friend of mine has the beeswax leather version and said it took a bit longer to get them comfortable.

-Recently broke down and got a pair of beeswax on sale.
-Went down a half size following advice from peeps on this board.
-My DBs arrived and they were mad tight.
-Took them to my shoe guy, who stretched them out for 72 hours.
-Added a cheap drug store insole as I'm prone to do with casual footwear.
-Feels like I'm walking on pillows these days.
-Everything's right with the world, truly.

Dig into your leg? Have you never worn boots before?

Obenauf's will speed this up, but it shouldn't be more than a week or so.

yeah I'm interested in checking out some outfits with these black boots. I bought the beeswax pair and those pretty much go with everything but for some reason my black suede ones are a little harder to pair up just right.

I'm gonna buy the sand suede ones in 9.5 (I'm about a size 10)

Think they'll go well with black jeans or grey jeans?

Also, where's the best place to order them from in Canada? Amazon won't ship, zappos is out of my size..

Softmoc carries them online but they're $140. Your best bet is to buy them on ebay.
