Clarks Desert Boot SKU: #105990

I love these boots. I get many compliments on them and they go with everything. Only thing is...I wear a 10 in Nikes. At least a 9.5, if not a 9, are the only way to go. Definitely size down.

Be prepared to "break these in". The leather is stiff around the ankle to begin with and so you need to wear thick socks or leg warmers to protect your skin. However, once broken in, they are very comfortable. I have plantar fascia in my left heel, and usually I am very careful to get a good arch support. While this has none, the crepe rubber sole's shock absorbing ability makes this a comfortable shoe. If you need the arch support, get an insert. The main thing is these look great and the leather will age to be as soft as butter. I really love them. I had to order a half size up because the toe was rather narrow to wear with socks.

I bought these as a birthday gift for my husband. He loves them! He wears them everyday!

Amazing shoes. I ordered mine half a size smaller (usually wear 9.5), and they fit me just right. Be prepared to break them in, and be aware that the leather will show creases and signs of wear as soon as you put them on.

Great shoes, but they do run a little big. Make sure you put water protector on before going in the rain.

I just ordered this on Saturday night, it got here on Monday. Like everyone has said, the ankles probably do need breaking in. I ordered the beeswax leather and even after a couple of steps in them I saw they were getting the little creases on top which I liked. The sole felt pretty comfortable. As for size, I wear a 10 for NIke/Asics. I ordered a size 10, it doesn't seem to run all that large to me, but people can have different experiences I guess. If it did run large, I could see only up to a half size larger - a full size is a little hyperbolic, from my view. Anyway, great stuff.

I bought these boots for our son for Christmas and he loves them. They do run big so I would recommend ordering a size smaller.

Ordered this boot for my daughter's boyfriend. Of course when I placed the order I order 1/2 size to big but Zappos excellent customer service was able to go the extra mile to get it exchanged for the correct size before shipping out! The recipient of the boot says that the boot wears great and looks great too. Very satisfied customer. Thanks.

Not a bad shoe. I would recommend putting a stain resistant coating of some kind on, if at all possible. That being said, the leather, so far, has been easily cleaned.

Great boots, look very cool yet classy. Size down! I wrestled for over a week to find my size I normally wear a 12 and 11 were a little big but 10.5 were way too small.

Nice boots. I see why they are popular. The beeswax is a great choice. I wear a size 12 and followed the recommendation to go down to an 11.5. I had to return them and go down to an 11. These definitely run big because of the UK sizing.

Great boot! I usually wear these with some dark jeans and a button down and it looks very good. This is one of a few shoes I own that gets compliments on a regular basis.

Fit great. Looks great. Very comfortable right out of the box. Tested them on the streets of San Francisco.

I purchased these as Christmas gift for son. He loved them. Said they were very comfortable from very beginning. He loved the style, color and cushioned sole. He is 31 and discerning about his shoes. These earned five stars.

Great looking boot. Just what I was looking for. Definitely order a 1/2 to a full size smaller than normal. I normally wear a 12, ordered an 11 1/2 and the fit is perfect with thick socks. Zappos delivery was exceptional as usual.

Great shoe. I get compliments all the time. My shoelace snapped after about half a year but no problem, I just tied the two pieces together. Only real complaint is the shoebed. Be warned. There is little to no arch support, so if you have a decent arch in your foot, you will experience foot-ache and fatigue if you are standing in these shoes for an hour or more. I'm not sure how this applies to people who have flat feet or are used to flat shoes. I had to go out and buy footbeds for these shoes, and I use Superfeet. The shoes are rugged. I don't brush the suede or clean them, and my jeans rub their color on them, but that's the whole point of why I bought them. Low-main rugged boot. The glue around the edges of the leather and sole came off a little in areas, but the stitching is legit and holding. No real problems. The shoe is slippery on wet slick floors so be careful.

Incredible shoe. very comfortable. Love the style. I like the way the shoe gently supports my foot while being very supple and flexible. I was worried about durability, but I have had these shoes for a year and they still look great. When they first arrived, they were slightly lighter than pictured, but within a week they darkened to look like hte picture, and stayed that way. I was worried they would get dirty quickly, and they do pick up stains and spots, but most seem to fade away after a few days. A few spots have remained. I try not to wear them in the rain. But they are suede and I don't take care of them at all. Also, the suede feels really nice and soft, but its very short suede. The fuzz doesn't stick out much. That's important to me, because it gives it a dressier look. Only con I have is that I have high arches and I couldn't really put any arch support in the shoe because my heel would slip a bit in the back if i did.

The Desert Boot from "Clarks" is a great shoe! It is super comfortable and fits great if your feet are a little on the wide side. I purchased the bee's wax brown color and from the picture posted it is pretty accurate. The shoe actually falls a small tint lighter than the color in the photo. I ordered a half size smaller and they fit perfect! Great shoe and I will definitely buy these again!
