I have wanted to get a pair of desert boots for years. They were a standard shoes back in Junior High and High school in New England, we all wore them. Played baseball with them hung around with them, they were simply the best simple shoes that were available. I have been looking for those shoes over the years remembering how comfortable they were and how they kept the feet cool in summer and warm in winter. It has to do with the simple leather construction, no liner or anything else between the feet and the upper part of the shoe. So I started looking a couple of years ago and found them here on Amazon. Been wearing them ever since. Today I looked to buy replacements, Only problem I found today is that Amazon stopped carrying my size in man's 7.5 anymore, What a bummer I guess it is not occurring to them that some guys need 7.5 shoes. Now I have to look for these shoes elsewhere.
If I were to make a suggestion for the future they need 7.5 size in man's and need to have another pair of eyelets instead of the 2 pair eyelets for shoe laces for a total of six. I install another pair eyelet for the laces on my own but wondering how many people never buy another pair because their shoes feel like they are ready to peal off.
