Boot General

[Anonymous No.10367931]

Anyone have any experience with Clark Desert Mali's?

I'm looking for a boot for the Fall / Winter and Red Wings, etc are a little out of my price range.

What's the quality of the boots like, what do you think is the most versatile as far as color goes (black, bees wax, etc)?

Also Boot General I guess?

[Anonymous No.10367993]

w2c decent Chelsea Boots?

[Anonymous No.10368130]

I have both the black and beezwax.

The beezwax leather is MUCH higher quality.

They both look good though. Comfy AF and the crepe soles make you feel like you're walking on a couple pieces of crepe rubber.

black is best color obv
the leather is thinner than regular leathers so that may be why the beeswax is better quality

crepe soles make walking really soft and comfortable and for walking in the rain, you may slip but walking on wet surfaces is a mostly a walking technique over anything else

If nike/adidas=9

then

Clarks Mali=8

Don't listen to idiots that say it is a half size difference, or even worse, that they are tts. It is exactly one size, and then on top of then the leather will stretch and conform to your foot with wear. They worst thing you can do is buy a boot that is too big, they will look goofy, wear in wrong/awkwardly, and give you shitty blisters on the back of your ankles.

God, I can't stand when people pollute the internet with misinformation.

I've got a pair in beeswax. Love them. Super comfortable, but definitely not good for snow unless you want to bust your ass on an ice patch.

I have an identical pair. It's a brand of Kenneth Cole, "Unlisted", I think. Mine say "ARCHENEMY", which I'm assuming is the style.
They look decent, but the quality is shit. The toebox is flimsy, the side zip is poor, and the exterior shell gets scuffed easy.
I have a basically brand new pair in a size 12 if anyone's interested in shitty fashion boots.
