Any man that cares about his appearance should own some desert boots. These shoes are the best I have ever owned. They are very comfortable and the leather molds to your feet in no time at all. They don't restrict your movement at all even though they are boots. They scuff easily which makes them age very nicely. The beeswax finish makes them weatherproof and perfect for rainy days and the wintertime. They do run big so order a half or full size smaller. I would suggest trying to find a store to try them on before you buy online. They are a lot cheaper online so thats why you would want to order them that way. I always wear too pairs of socks with mine, extra padding and insulation since there is no padding in these.
