Clarks Desert Boot SKU #7208073(View on Zappos.com Classic)

Return to the Chukka Boot. Bought these at John's Shoes on 14st in Manhattan. Wore them to a class reunion for 8 hours the next day. Comfortable, quiet, and cute like a bulldog's face. Another pair or two in another color? Definitely.

First, I want to talk about the sizing. This is the first pair of Desert Boots that I have ever bought. I own about 5 pair of Desert Trek and wanted something different. That being said: If you own Desert Trek and are considering this style, then buy 1/2 size down from your DT size. I wear an 11 in the DT and in these I ended up taking a 10.5. Now, for the comfort. These are as comfortable, if not more, than my Desert Treks. Right out of the box they felt good. My only complaint was I couldn't get used to the strings not coming up the shaft of the boot, but that was quickly taken care of with a leather punch. I love these boots and I'm sure they're going to go as far as my other Clarks. The boot looks good, I have already had people asking about them. They have a cool retro look about them (I'm 35 and missed out on the 60s swinging London period). Comfort, class, style. 3 important things to look for in a shoe, and they're Clarks so you know you're getting something good. About Zappos. I've been ordering from Zappos for about 8 years now and am always impressed with the excellent service they provide. I ordered these Monday at 3 pm (EST) and they were at my door on Tuesday 10:30 am. Amazing. The customer service at Zappos is top notch and if you need to exchange anything they make it so easy. If I wasn't a "people person", I wouldn't even bother with stores anymore.

Amazing! I ordered these shoes on the internet at 7:30 PM. At 10:30 the next morning, UPS was at my door with the shoes. Well done Zappos!\r\nAs for the shoes, I think this is the fifth pair of these I have owned. The first pair was as a freshmen in high school way back in the 1960\'s. This shoe never goes out of style. They fit true to size. Need no breaking in and they last forever. They do not hold up well to water, ice or snow, so keep them dry.

The desert boots I recently purchased from Zappos.com are the same shoes that I wore in the sixties. They are just as comfortable as they have always been. Zappos.com followed through and did what they said they would do. I look forward to continuing my relationship with Zappos.com.

Unique, well crafted shoes of decent materials - The Desert Boot is almost a slipper- light, soft, relaxed, casual, comfortable. Don't expect a work boot or walking shoe, there isn't sufficient support for comfortable all day contact on concrete. Classic style for a casual date or shopping around town, the light color is perfect with denim. I have owned 5 variations of Desert Trek, Fox, and Boot. Light suede colors will pick up stains quite easily, within several minutes. Darker, waxy leather uppers will stay looking brand new for years with occasional saddle soap. It's nearly impossible to wear out the crepe soles on these things, though they will darken considerably with use and change the overall appearance of the shoe. Zappos will not disappoint. Received within 24hrs of order. Amazing.

Great for fall and spring weather... And they get a surprising amount of compliments. Watch for sizing and be sure to protect with suede spray. If you'd like arch support, order a 1/2 size down and still have room for insert. Otherwise, order a full size down.

A great boot, my second pair. It’s glove-soft right out of the box, no break-in whatsoever. Looks great with jeans or can be worn with slacks for a casual dress look (think Steve McQueen in Bullitt). I ordered my usual size and they fit great, nice room at the toe area, yet no heel slip. Wore these as a young lad, fun to wear them again almost every day (when not in shorts!). Not recommended as a work/hike boot at all as they are not constructed for that, but a great everyday casual, light trek type shoe. Give ‘em a try.

Great boots for when you need to dress up but not too much - These boots are perfect for situations where sneakers are too casual but you don't want to put on a pair of wingtips either. For example, a dinner party. These boots, like all Clarks Desert, run 1/2 size big so size down. Also, the toe box is pretty narrow while the area around the heel/ankle is wider than expected. It's an odd fit for a bit til it loosens up. You just have to make sure you lace it tight. Also, what socks are you supposed to wear with these boots? Huge mystery.

Just like the Brits! I wore Clarks Desert Boots when I was in college and law school some forty years ago. I am now wearing them again -- thanks to Zappos. They are as comfortable as ever.

Perfect! I love these boots. Even though they don't have great arch support, they are still pretty damn comfortable. I wear an 11 1/2 and they fit perfectly. They have a great old-school and understated look that goes great with jeans or khakis. I sprayed mine with a good rain and stain protector before I wore them and that seems to keep them pretty well protected. I highly recommend that you buy this boot. You'll love 'em too.
