EPTMy feet are 10" in length and 4" in width. Obviously, it means my feet are a bit wide, so I'm not sure what size I should go with. Strictly speaking, 10" correlates with a US size 8. However, to get 4" in width....that's like, what, a US size 10? Since the boots don't come with a width size chart, I'm not sure what I should go with.

This chart might be slightly useful - though it basically confirms what you said. The difference between the standard width (basically D - 3.8" for size 8) and you is pretty small. I'd probably remeasure my feet to make sure the measurements were accurate/precise. Instead of buying them on Amazon, try endless.com (Amazon-owned shoe store). If the size 8 don't fit, you can just return them. They have a great return policy. | ||

Endless.com doesn't have my color/size, but thank you for the advice. I just measured my feet tonight, so the measurements are correct. I have a pair of 8.5 E dress shoes that fit perfectly, and my sneakers are 9~9.5. | ||

I found his videos a few months ago. I would advise any man interested in fashion to just leaf through his videos and watch anything that looks interesting, because you will learn SO much in such a short time. Even just a lot of very random things that you might not have thought about otherwise. | ||

My girlfriend wants me to have a side fringe similar to this: http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee136/suwarnaadi/DrakeBellSideSweptBangsHairstyle.jpg and I think its nice but I prefer a cleaner, smarter look. I'm finishing high school this year and when I enter into university and begin entering the workplace I want to have a hairstyle that is essentially clean and smart. So I was wondering if anyone has any shortish-medium hairstyle suggestions that could fit that description? or is this a very good idea? I was looking through the post by Quesadilla but there weren't many there. My hair seems to be very straight and can often be hard to stylize to something simple would be nice. I've googled some hairstyles and a lot of them that stick up are hard for me to pull off, I've tried before. | ||

I think Ull be very happy with the 8s if you like your dress shoe at 8E Alright, thanks. I live in Chicago, so there's snow/ice on the road a lot. Now I have to figure out how to properly protect these boots. | ||

You should know desert boots won't keep your feet any warmer then a dress shoe or sneaker though if that matters to you. Warmth isn't a concern  I realize that "a good water proofing" might be common knowledge for some of you, but it's not for me. Could you give me any tips, or perhaps a link? I'd trust a recommendation over random sites on google or products on amazon. Thanks. | ||

- Make sure your shoes are completely clean and dry, fresh out the box is ideal - Test in an inconspicuous area to make sure it wont ruin the color (I've never had this problem) - Apply Wax - Rub in wax - Wipe away excess - Allow to dry for 24 hours - Some people say you should do a 2nd coat and allow to dry for 24 hours again, I never have, but I don't really live in a wet area. - Reapply every 6 months to a year | ||

It's different from person to person, obviously - but the majority of people I know who own cbd's are either half-size or full size down from their normal size. My first pair of CBD's I bought were an 11 and I wear and 11.5 and they were still large - however wearing thicker socks helped with that. My last pair that I bought a month ago I got 10.5's and they fit perfectly. However, I also have really thin feet/ankles so that is more than likely why; since you said you have wider feet.. @Boesthius/others: So I went in again today to try out the Clark Desert Boots. The local stores did not really carry the size I needed. I am a size 10/10.5 depending on the shoe. I tried the Clark's at size 9, they felt great when standing but when you walk there is this tightness/squeeze towards the wider part of the foot going to the toes...My guess it would be that this shoe size is too small. I have also tried the Clark's at size 10 at a different store last week and they felt pretty big on my foot. So the underlying question would be, should I get the size 9 and wait for them to expand a bit as I break them in, or will the tightness/squeeze always be there and I should just get 9 1/2 shoe size? Thank you again guys for the help, the Clark's are pretty comfy shoes! | ||
