how can i clean the beeswax sole on these fuckers without spending money on cleaning product? i wanna get their nice light tan color back.

sandpaper?
toothbrush?

also is a damp rag the best way to clean the rest of the shoe?

You mean crepe? I don't have clark's but I do have Ben Sherman boots with a crepe sole. I stepped in cat shit once while I was wearing them, wasn't fun. I used some warm water, dish soap, and a scrub brush to clean the sole. Not only did it get the shit off but it got most of the dirt off with it, so now there is a large clean patch on my sole while the rest of the sole is black. I don't know how well that would work if you're trying to clean the entire sole. I wouldn't even worry about it, it looks fine.

No prob. If you do try to clean your soles, go lightly. For me it’s too much of a hassle, and what>>9080618 said. It adds a little character.

Luckily for me the sides of my soles are still blonde even after a bit of wear, they still look brand new. And no one knows that underneath, my soles are black as hell.

Who makes a better chukka in the same price range?
Or is it wiser to just leave desert boots out of your wardrobe entirely?

Desert boots are fine you autist what the fuck is with this board and being absolutely terrified of someone copying them jesus

>>9080720
in the price range, you won't really find much better. Florsheim maybe.

But Redwing makes some beautiful chukkas, so I'd save your money and get it from somewhere like that.

I almost copped their Ducky boot, that shit is beautiful, I prefer it to RWs chukka actually. It was sold out and I bought>>9080685 instead.
Which was probably for the best. I only spent 50.
