Yeah I just ordered the saddle leather in grey. I won't be getting them until I fly home for X-Mas in a week though. I'll be sure to post pics when I do...

Was wondering if anyone might be interested in a pair of size 9 Matte Black nubuck DB's from the davidz collab. Good condition, upper leather is great w/ contrast. Sole dirty of course -- $90 shipped


90 shipped is over retail, and if they have dirty bottoms then thats very unreasonable.

I got the greys a week ago. Been wearing them lightly but they're nice and will age well over time. My friend had a photoshoot and I volunteered to model a bit and wore them.

Yeah, I swapped the normal laces with grey leather ones that they came with. I dig the leather ones a lot more.

^^ Consensus seems to be Chucks sizing. Found it to be somewhat tight and uncomfortable but have been told by many that these will stretch a lot.

lucky you. i was debating on whether to get the olive green or the grey color for myself. I have a same question though. I wear a size 8. I've bought a pair of Clarks DB in 8 before and they fit fine, there was about 1/2 inch of room in the toe box but it was narrow enough to fit good. I don't think I should buy 7.5 and stretch them out, it'll deform the shape of the shoes improperly. Any thoughts anyone?

my beeswax desert boots just recently got a crease on the outer ankle of the boot. now everytime i walk, that part of the shoe where the crease is gives out, SO UNCOMFY. anyone else have this experience? will they get comfier after more wear of the overall shoe? my first leather shoe so don't have much experience with this. thanks
