These boots are designed for adults and are sized according to UK adult foot measurements. Their versatile 'Salt' color and utilitarian aesthetic make them highly compatible with:
Casual and streetwear outfits, such as cargo pants, distressed denim, or oversized hoodies.

Outdoor or workwear-inspired ensembles.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Yeezy Desert Boots:
Spot Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft brush or a clean, dry cloth to gently wipe away debris from the suede, nubuck, and mesh sections.
Deep Cleaning Suede/Nubuck: For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a suede brush. Always test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
Cleaning Mesh: The mesh sections can be cleaned with a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and air dry.
Avoid Water Saturation: Suede and nubuck are susceptible to water damage. Avoid wearing in heavy rain or wet conditions. Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and nubuck before initial wear and periodically thereafter.
Drying: If wet, allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight. Stuff with paper towels to absorb moisture and help retain shape.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent fading and material degradation. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
