That depends on you, there is zero insulation and they are not waterproof. Also, if you hate salt stains then don't bother because you will get them something nasty because the salty water will sink into the suede. I wear mine year round but there are not for everyone.

how do they hold up against the snow though? wet socks in the winter?

desert boots are pretty shit in the snow. with the exposed leather edge, especially with the suedies, they'll soak in the toes really fast even when you "waterproof" them. plus, the traction sucks on ice.

i wear my desertboots pretty much everyday provided i have socks, they're not good for wet ground of any sort. constantly have to watch out for sliding and eating shit.

The last pair of DB's are my pride and joy. They were my friend's grandfathers from the 60's. He gave them to me because they were to big. They were actually made in England.

Could a pair of desert boots with thick wool socks keep you toasty enough in NYC during December???

If it aint raining or snowing, and there isnt wetness on the ground the chyes.

Basically, if there is no moisture involved then def, by DBs are terrible at keeping out water, and even then the suede gets fucked up

Those grey suede ones is really nice!

Want a pair of weaver and a pair of Union Jack Desert boot too. I didn't check all the threads but those seems to be UK only?

btw, Clarks website is having 25% off on all items now, code is "b4xmas"

unfortunately they only ship to UK....

Anyone have experience using some water proof agent on the suede?

did some searching and found some vans that look kinda like d boots and are more than likely more comfortable:

Obviously not going to evo like a Clarks d boot, but if you want to save your feet you they might be worth looking into

What are you talking about? My desert boots are and always have been the most comfortable pair of footwear I've owned.

On a side note: anyone have a fit pic of black leather Desert Boots?
