Clarks Desert Boots

TheDarkKnight · Dec 19, 2010

Does anyone own the Clark's Daily Craft boots? They have a Dainite-esque sole so look good for Winter. I like these:

I've got the LL Beans for jeans and also can wear them with chinos. But I can get the Sand also and wear them with jeans...i figured since the boots are already Beeswax, I should go with suede and lighter suede...or dark browm? yay nay?

ive always loved the sand. i've a pair of grey's and now the sand. although both are "light", they look different and good depending on what i wear. i think sands look great with jeans but can go with chinos too. i bought some slim fit dockers that were on sale and they look really good with the db's but if they were tapered i think it'd look better.

how do you like the ll beans? those look really good. i dont like the dark brown ones for clarks. something about them makes me not like 'em.

I haven't got them in yet, should be this thursday. But I was in search for a good looking reliable boot that didn't break my bank account and I found a thread on here with the LL Beans and they looked amazing after a coat of Obanaufs and regular use.

what color where the docker's you got?

Just a heads up, but I recently went through the same things you guys are doing, it's hard to decide on what color desert boots is right. I went back and forth for a few days before I finally just broke-down and bought 3 pairs to see what went with my wardrobe the best, and sold off the others.

Right now I'm selling a New in the box pair of desert boots in the rare Cola(UK)/Chestnut(US) suede color. It's discontinued in the US, and only available in the UK. Same color as Steve McQueen is wearing in these pics:

Steve+McQueen+Boots+(William+Claxton).jpg

and

Steve+McQueen+Boots+02+(William+Claxton).jpg

sz 10 (US) ... yours for $90 and you can't get them anywhere else(except the UK for $150)! I have them listed in the FS section with some pics here: http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=213317

Hope this helps!

I have a pair of oak suede and beeswax. BR had them for $60 on black friday.

Steve McQueen was so cool. Do a girl like that come with the new shoes? Or is she extra?

Just got the grey saddleback leather dbs from DavidZ, I wanted to wear throughout the winter here in NY so what would be type of seal to buy for them. Has anyone here who purchased the saddleback leather dbs sealed theirs yet? any pics of the results?
