i agree.

is there anyway that you can take them off without damaging the boots?

^ Probably the same shoes.

To my knowledge P&B never produced any Desert Boots.

The vintage Dessies I've seen were all made in England, not the Republic of Ireland.

Loving those Chestnuts.

im normally a sz 9 in vans or nikes and the chestnut brown ones i have are a sz 8 and actually fit perfectly.

the other two i have are sz 9s, and they feel a little big, but theyre fine as long as theyre tied.

i didnt bother researching the seller either, he seems to have a full run, so maybe hed have some 14s as well.

14's in low-chucks, 13's in hi-chucks (letting them stretch), 14 in a pair of monk straps I have, 15 in tux shoes that I have, 15 in new balance, 14 in nikes, and generally 14 in most other shoes. I was told these suckers are true-to-size.

oh snap. in that case, you'll probably want to go with 14. i wear a 9 in low chucks and bought a 9 in desert boot, and it's an identical fit for my big toe, about half an inch to the end of the boot. just a touch more narrow through the arch though. if you've got wide feet you'll want to consider a 14 wide.

^go for the distressed grey ones. i copped a pair last month and wear them all the time. they come with lots of compliments from the opposite sex.

okej, will look that up. Do you know any good online store or should i look for them on ebay?

Yo jeep I have a pair of distressed grey desert boots in size 12 that fit huge, probably more like a 13. Will these work?

I'm looking to get these pair of Maroon Wally's. Seller says they're a discontinued color. Just curious if anyone could confirm. Is there a large amount of variant wallabee's available? I just want to sure I'm not getting scammed because he says no returns.

no idea if that site is good or not, but worth a try. i got mine from zappos for $94 like 6 months ago.

edit: i got a size 8.... and i wear a 9.5 in both nike and vans. they also stretched a shit load. i also tried on a pair of clarks desert boots in a different color size 8.5 or 9 and they fit the same as the 8 in grey. their sizing is mad inconsistent. so you might be fine getting a smaller size.

size down a size or half a size from your dress shoe size.

Stripped the toes of these dark brown leather Desert Boots.

The glossy coating on the otherwise decent leather just didn't work for me.

I was looking for an oiled nubuck finish, so I attacked the toes with magic sponges and isopropyl alcohol to get the topcoat off. After stripping and drying I treated them with leather oil. That's all.

They went a nice dull chocolate brown. It turned out slightly patchy but not in a bad way.

I will eventually strip and oil the whole shoe, just thought I'd share this stage.

you could probably dye a pair of sand suede wally's to get a maroon pair, if you can't find a pair of that discontinued color.
