Aging Clark desert boots?

[mr_smartman]

ok, so ive tried searching and actually gone through the whole 145 pages of leather shoe thread, but couldn't find my answer. So i was wondering if anyone here have a pair of clark desert boot(preferablly in brown leather) and was wondering if its possible to age these? thanks

just buy a suede brush and brush them vigorously this should age them a bit!!!!

^ no...you wear them.

[cheep]

same way you age denim.

hmm i think im getting misunderstood, what i ment was is it possible to get that used/worn look like the ones people are getting with redwings if i wear and polish the boot. Im talking about the brown leather verison of the clark desert boot. but ill definitly wear them good^^

**on a side note, i just remebered that i should still have my old pair of cadet black leather boot that i use to wear for cadet, really well polished XD**

The process of making the leather look 'aged' is commonly referred to as 'antiquing.'

I just picked up a pair of brown leather desert boots. After two days of wear you can already see slight fading in the creases, so I'm guessing they'll fade okay.

My friend has some walla's in bees wax leather and they haven't faded much after two years.
