I'm trying to find an affordable pair of boots to go with my N&F skinny guys, anyone have an opinion on whether the Clark Desert boots would pair well? If not, would you offer any other recommendation? I'm new to all of this and feeling a bit lost.

Thanks

I've always wondered, do slim fitting jeans ride up the back of them?

Get the GREYs


Yeah I have no problem with the price of Clarks or something somewhat pricier, I was just wondering how these boots would work with N&F skinny guys. I just want to get something that's somewhat affordable and will look nice with the jeans I have.

But I highly recommend this color. Goes will with jeans and my khaki chinos. The contrast from the upper and the sole makes it look a little more sneaker-y and familiar so if you're looking for your first pair after 'graduating' from sneakers, give the grey a shot.

The sides of the crepe sole had dirt on it but after I looked around it turns out it is supposed to be like that... Kind of bummed out but the sole is going to get destroyed by me anyway so I don't care.


Interesting. I don't really like the fake dirty sides (quite capable of doing it myself naturally) but I'm trying to figure out any other difference between the $59 Amazon greys and the $95 DavidZ greys. Different/nicer leather on the ones from DavidZ? I was gonna go with the black that they had, but they don't have my size and I think grey may be more versatile.
