Buy them and wear them. I used to wear Docs all the time, Clarks (desert boots in general) are glorious in the summer months. A drawback is they don't stay fresh after the first couple months, and don't look "good" weathered like Docs do.

I was all set to buy a pair of Clarks and then I tried a pair on in the store. Felt so weird on my feet. Any reason I should buy a pair and experiment?

>>8202569
no

but if you really want to experiment, but a pair and put a vibram ripple or christy sole

Just match them and wear them.

Should come naturally once you start buying age appropriate outfits.

>>8202569
if u dont like it dont buy it dont be a trend whore especially with something this played out

>>8202577
>>8202595

Just wondering if they feel massively different after wearing a while. The rear part of the boot was loose as fuck and it has no arch whatsoever.

>>8202569
they're classic and they'll never go out of style, take from that what you will

CDBs are about as priceless as an OCBD imo

>>8202629
I had that same problem at first but after a few weeks they started to feel normal and stopped giving me blisters. Not sure what changed, maybe just the way I walk in them.

That said you may consider buying one size smaller. Not sure if it's necessary but try it out if it bugs you that much.

First boot purchase: Clarks DB or Katahdin cordovans?

Any comments on the sizing of Clarks DB's?

I've heard they're true to size, runs semi large, and runs full size large...

>>8204092

My experience was about a half size. That's also what the Clarks store dude said.

I recently copped these, I looked in Clarks actual shop first and they wanted £80 for a pair which felt strange around the heels and the whole sole was one big ugly piece of rubber which was all jaggy. Looked around and copped these for £70 which have a much nicer lining and sole whilst being more comfortable.

I just bought these. Clarks Desert London in black suede. I didn't want the Desert Boots as they're a bit played out.

I'm not sure if I can wear them with anything other than black jeans though. Does black suede go with raw/washed denim?

>>8204771
These look great. W2C in the US?

inspo

amazon

>>8204771
I actually bought a pair of those but returned them and bought another pair of DB's instead. They look pretty good but idk clarks oxfords just look weird to me

Do they stretch a bit? They feel slightly tight and rub on the tongue. The next size up was too loose though.

I took a half-size down to what I normally get.

>>8204866
Yes, they will stretch

W2C Desert Malis?

>>8204092
I sized down half but wish I'd sized down full

Can anyone post desert london inspo? I want to cop some but dunno what they'll work with besides black jeans

>>8205487
they look good with shorts if they're nice and worn in.

protip DONT BUY Beeswax leather. it looks like ass especially on the londons

>>8205487

Nigga they are oxfords, look at any oxford inspo.

>>8205503
They're not oxfords they're derbies. Wear them with black, raw, blue, grey washed denim. Black shoes literally go with anything.

i think i'm going for this, black pants / denim with full black desert boots

Got the Mali in beeswax about one whole size down.

w2c

>>8205539
looks so nice

>>8207122
Desert Londons have a much nicer silhouette in my opinion. The Desert Boots look Sasquatch HUGE on my feet and I'm only a 10.

>>8201887
just got these but i also want to know how to into boots. anything besides a black bottom good with these?

>>8204866 here

I've been wearing the 10.5 for a day now and they absolutely kill my feet. Might have to get the 11, although they felt slightly loose in store.

>>8205539
This pic made me want to buy them for a while but ankle boots look like ass with cuffs. Seeing socks while wearing boots is rly pleb ugly imo

>>8207784
>pleb ugly
It's very annoying when you're thinking of an adjective and you forgot to delete the first one you wrote down

Clarks desert boots are one of the most uncomfortable shoes I've owned. The heel rubs so bad and the tongue digs into your skin. I sold mine in eBay after a week.

>>8201887
Aside from beeswax what color desert boots should I buy? I was thinking about the dark brown suede, I think that would be the next best thing. Is there another brand I could buy that would be better than Clarks for around the same price range or are they my best bet?

>>8208773
>trying leather/suede shoes out for a week and deciding they are uncomfortable

ha

>>8205598

Here's some black clarks inspo.

I didn't like these in the store but I'm willing to take a chance. Any lower prices than $79 on Amazon?

Any dark brown suede inspo?

>>8209122
dyel?

>>8204829
would not drink a beer with

>>8209236
No why would I lift? How I meant to fit in Wffay clothes with muscles?

How long can I expect some desert boots to last?

>>8210280
I wore mine everyday for over 3 years including horrible nightclub floors 2-3 times a week, they're really well built. Mine were Beeswax.

--

My question is: is it acceptable to wear a pair of shoes like these in the link to an interview for a fairly well paid job; i'm completely out of money and cannot afford a nice pair of black oxfords but have these

>>8201887
look up kanye west vivsim

>>8202966
These look pretty stupid imo. The shape of thoe shoe itself is pretty bad.

I was considering the sand/oakwood/wolf (difficult to find color) suede CDB.

However, I'm not sure what kind of outfit/colors to pair it with, considering that it's impossible to wear them on a black/dark blue jeans/trouser.

Any idea?

Wow, so brown suede CDBs are $20 less than any other color? Cop or hold out for beeswax?

>>8212835
Hold out?

How long is it gonna take for you to save $20 you scrub.

>>8212989

I'm not a scrub, I'm a jewish scotsman. I'm prepared to wait until the end of time for a sale on shoes.

>>8204092
Go at least a full size down. That shit is going to get loose. I would of went 2 sizes down but I couldn't fit my foot in them at that point to wear them in.

>>8213034
Don't do this. I bought then half a size down and they fucking killed my feet. Go true to size.

>>8213194
I went half size down and they fit perfectly.

They're weird as fuck tho, because they're hella wide. I recommend trying them on tbh.

>>8213217
I think I must have weird feet then. I'm usually an 11 in everything. I got a 10.5 and my feet blistered so bad. Sold them on eBay and got an 11 comfy as fuck, no problems.
