I am not sure if these Astroflex Dukeflex are desert boots, buy allow me to share.

I am 10.5UK in C&J 325 last, Church's 173, Loake Capital and other UK brands. These are size 45 and fit extreamly well (my feet are bulky), very very comfortable.

Colour whiskey, dark crepe sole.

Great looking chukka. Enjoy those. I wear a 9.5UK and wear size 44 in various Astorflex models.

If Astorflex offered 1/2 sizes I might consider a 43.5 but 43 is too small.

I’m waiting to find a pair in the dark chestnut colorway.

Of course…. Sold out.

I have been reluctant to buy Astorflex desert boots as I have read that they tend to be roomy and large. My feet are slim, with a low volume and instep, my usual size is 6 UK in most shoes and boots and if I need to downsize, as I have been advised, I would need a 5.5 UK that I haven't seen available in any store.

They are definitely roomy and large and the toe area is bulbous as opposed a more tapered toebox.

With no 1/2 sizes available, you might want to try a 5 UK.

Thank you, but, do they exist?
From what I have seen, the smallest offered size is 6 UK.

Hmmm… I had not noticed that. I did a quick scan of EndClothing and Huckberry and you’re right.

if I come across any I’ll post it here.

Hi guys, I'm sharing with you some Hi-tops that I ordered during the blackf, when I received them I was in the middle of a battle (fortunately won) against the covid, I still haven't worn them.
Like Trickers does, Sanders took care of the taxes for Europe which is a good thing. I was very attracted by this brown/orange color which I find magnificent.
I thank @Mercurio for the confirmation that it is necessary to take a half size above for the Hi-top.

just a little discoloration at the top that I don't understand why ?
