purchased these clarks desert boots a while back. after moving to sunny california, i kind of got tired of hauling around in heavy duty boots, so i thought these would be a nice change of pace. the antique finish was a little cheesy, but figured it might get interesting with age.

so after a couple years of wear, the leather was getting nice aging, but the original crepe soles were starting to disintegrate. i decided to bring these into a no-name cobbler nearby, just for a little adventure. i had to convince the guy that there was such thing as honey vibram. and after a little back and forth, he was able to locate them.

the cobbler did a surprisingly good job, but a noob mistake. i totally forgot to tell him not to polish my boots. but i really didn't think anyone was going to try to polish an antique finish surface. i was shocked initially, but started to enjoy them.

i've been wearing these quite often. they're really easy to get in and out of, but i could wear them at places where they require a little more formal clothing than what i usually wear, too (no jeans). here are pics after a little hike near vegas:

very nice...are these beeswax?

Got myself another harness leather belt, by unlucky.

The leather is a 16 oz Triple C harness, a pure vegetable tannage from Chahin that's been stuffed with oils but manages to retain the "natural" colour.

How would I go about getting one of these?

Just picked up another pair of Mules, so...eight
