Navy over a grey/air force blue. Also seriously looked at prorsum but too a la mode for a middle aged twat :-) (ok, biggest size was 54..)

The most ironically named Italian brand ever invented.

Dad just handed me a pair of his old shoes, decent condition, hipster sole.

star wars duvet, are you my son?!

Did you just own up to that pair of shoes?

hey, they were fashionable in '02, mmkay..

star wars was fashionable in 1977, them shoes have never been fashionable.

Do I need a motorcycle now?

Seems like a good excuse to me.

can anyone give me an idea of what Clarks desert boot sizing is like? I am normally a 10 in formal shoes (both 'good' pairs of shoes I own are made by Alfred Sargent, if that helps)..

Should I size up, down or stick to 10?

I'm pretty sure I sized down a half size. I'm normally a ten.
I have another pair of Clarks which I also went down a half size to fit into.

Cheers. Is that with thin, formal socks, or thicker, winter ones?

nice dmczone, very nice.

Those are nice....

I find the desert boots come up quite small - I take an 8 in wallabees & bankrobbers, but need a 9 in the desert boot. I think its because they are quite narrow....

Put some white socks on and you'll be the spit of Clifford Claven, Murts...

For me I'd say that Clark's DBs are bang-on true to size. My feet are between a (UK) 9.5 and a 10 and I wear 10s. The 9.5 DBs were a tad small and my 10s are a tad big. Wallabees come up half a size too big (again, in my experience).

By the way, these...

...are absolutely killing my feet. I have actual bruises across the tops of my feet.

You deserve bruises for the contrast stitching/sole.
