Clarks Desert Boots

[JoeRogan]

Got these boots in Beeswax a couple weeks ago and I must say I like them quite a lot. They start to gain character pretty quickly.

those look really nice...ya the beeswax are def the best style in my opinion...where is the cheapest place to buy a pair currently??

(i have a pair of banana republic bees wax desert boots, but they are a size too big sadly...selling it in B/S section)

i've always wondered how these would fit on my feet. my foot measures out around 4.5 in width LOL. very wide. I usually just wear 11.5 in all my other shoes, so how would i go about doing a pair of db's? Do they stretch at all?

I paid retail for them at a Clarks store, from what I've read you basically have to get lucky to get them cheap. I think one of the ways to save on them though was when BR was giving out coupons for like 25-40% off regular priced items. I know a few people who snagged them for a really good price that way

dont ever pay retail for clarks, there are a lot of stores that have coupon codes that sell clarks....just look at how many have been posted over the past few pages

^My problem was finding a store that carried them in store, had my size, and had a decent coupon. No one around me ever had them in stock.

You're screwed. Luckily Clark's are cheap as chips.

also, any recommendations on their sizing? are they true to size, bigger, smaller? by how much?

i wouldnt recommend them for rain/snow, i was wearing them today and i couldnt count the number of times i almost slipped cause of the soles

Anyone have a better picture of the Oakwood and Taupe colors? Want a pair that will work with black pants/denim but also be versatile enough to go with khakis. Any other color suggestions?

Someone here posted their oakwood (the color I also have).

They go great with denim and alright with chinos. I think taupe might be a bit better for chinos though oakwoods are fine too.

Nice. Proof that DBs just get better looking the older and more beat-up they get.
