Did yours actually start off that way or are they a slightly different model? I saw he link to what they looked like new and the sole is very, very light in color.

They look so much better! I just ordered a pair --I'll have to wear them in quick. It’s too bad you can’t buy them worn in. They look so much better!

A lot of the reviews say to buy a half size down because they tend to run large. Did you buy true to size or size down as well? Thanks. Those things look awesome.

I have a couple pairs myself, in the beeswax, and in dark tan suede. And yes, the older and more worn they are, the better they get. I wipe my beeswax pair (identical to ajchen's) with a bit of light leather lotion every couple of months or so. It cleans them up a bit, without detracting from the character that constant use gives them. Plus, most importantly, it adds oils to the leather, so the crease marks are not quite so severe, and the color is a bit darker, but without looking greasy - which would happen if I used mink oil or sno-seal. Ideally, I would like to have two pairs of these in beeswax, so, when I get a new pair, I think I will use a heavier oil on my old pair, for a dark greasy look, and then just use the light leather lotion on the new ones. But in any event - these boots rock! Oh, and my suede pair? Those I do absolutely nothing to, by way of care.... and that's the whole idea! By summer's end, they will be stained and ready for the trash, and I will be ready to pick up a new pair in beeswax. These boots are awesome!

This post, I liked especially as I bought the Mojave Desert Boot from Martin + Osa; which look similar generally. At first, I thought they were ok - but they grew on me and now the shoes are developing the contours and ridges which mark extended use. Excited to see how they will change in the time to come.
