do you have churches? Do you have replicas?
Here are my ones, bought them at TK MAXX for about £30 ($50)
What do you think? Opinions please

Seriously though, yes they're on the right lines, good work. Nice floor tiles too. -{
Thanks for sharing - bought myself a pair today. Very comfy they are too!
I have 2 pair of Clark’s Originals (cola and blue), 2 pair (and 1 brown pair in reserve) of Desert Green by Pretty Green (brown and champagne) and 1 pair by MERC London (black).
The most comfortable are by far the ones made by Pretty Green. They have the softest suede and a very comfortable fit. They look a bit different from the regular desert boots by Clarks. The Clarks might be the best choice when you are looking for a high quality but affordable desert boot in the classic mold. The pair by MERC is very nice too but the sole is quite a bit stiffer and harder than most desert boots.
One tip my late grandmother taught me when taking care of your suede shoes is to get a kettle of cooking water and hold your shoes in the steam, brush your shoes with a soft brush (not one of those suede specific rubber/steel brushes) and your shoes will look (almost) brand new.

Cheers :-)
They are a bit sleeker than the Ryders, with a more pointy toe box. Construction wise they are no Ryder or Loake Kempton, but they will suit me fine. The only thing I'm not thrilled about is the insole. I'll have to add a thin leather insole as the boot's foot liner feels a bit thin and papery near the heel.
With the money saved I can get the Y-3 replica in a couple weeks.
On a complete tangent, this makes my 100th post.
