Zappos is amazing! I ordered this pair of shoes at 3:00 PM on Thanksgiving, and they were delivered before 3:00 PM the next day. Amazing! Clarks desert boots themselves are as billed: comfortable, good fit and well made. I ordered the same size as I buy in a running shoe, and the fit is good and comfortable. The leather is very soft and sole pliable, no breaking in issues. The price was the same as other places on the web, but it's hard to imagine other places having next day shipping included in the price. I am extremely satisfied with Zappos and Clarks' desert boot.

The Desert Boots that I bought for my husband are exactly what he has wanted for years. They are not in stores, but we were so happy to find them on line. Owning a pair of these boots has been a dream of his since he was a young boy. They are comfortable and stylish, and my husband is very proud of finally having a pair of desert boots to wear.

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.

\r\nThese were better than the originals I wore in the mid to late 60\'s. Usually "The New 60\'s"\r\nitems are cheap knock offs. NOT these. They fit,\r\nfeel and look like the originals.\r\n\r\nThanks for bringing these 60\'s favorites back safe and sound!!

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.

I was shopping for desert boots on the net when I found Zappos. Found what I was looking for and ordered them. The customer service reps were fantastic in their help. The quality of the boots were just as I remembered them as a teen, wore them all the time. Great service, ordered them one day and had them at 8:30 am the next. Any time I want quality shoes or boots I will definitely use Zappos. Just can't beat them.

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.

Loving my Clarks Desert Boots, old school, but still cool. My 11.5s had room for a cushioning Spenco insert. I tried inserts with an arch support, as the boot is quite flat, but not enough room for those. I usually buy size 12 in running shoes so I can add the Spenco inserts, so the Clarks may run a little big. I wear 11 flip-flops, but shoes can vary from 11 to 11.5 depending on brand. Anyway they're looking good with my white jeans. Thanks Zappos for excellent service and variety.

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.

Love, love, LOVE these boots! It's a shame that Ugg has discontinued this style. They have been really popular here in Maine. They look stylish but are super comfortable, WARM, and stay dry and new looking even after walking through snow, rain, mud and slush. I treated the leather bottom part with Nikwax, which really waterproofs the leather. I am a kindergarten teacher and spend lots of time outdoors all year long in all kinds of weather. Uggs are the one boot I can depend on to keep my feet toasty. I agree with the other reviews that these run small. I normally wear an 8.5, but ordered a size 9, which fits perfectly.

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.

My Husband Loves Them -
My husband thoroughly enjoys every aspect of the Clarks Desert Boot. He's a casual dresser (except when a special occasion comes around) and when he's not wearing sandals, he's wearing his Clarks. They are casual enough for everyday, but can be worn for "business attire" functions. At least here in sunny California!

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.

Back again -
Back in the late 60's and early 70's the Desert Boot was my shoe of choice. As a soldier, I wore jump boots/jungle boots all day. My Desert Boots were a welcome change off duty. As I moved around the country and overseas, they became hard to find, and eventually impossible.
While shopping with my granddaughter recently she pointed out Clark's Wallabies - her favorite shoe. I inquired of the store clerk about Desert Boots and received a blank stare. Remembering I had bought some "Cute Rain Boots" (a local teenage favorite) for my granddaughter from Zappos I checked the website and was delighted to find my old favorite Desert Boots.
Response was fantastic. My order was acknowledged within 2 hours (on a Saturday) and the shoes arrived promptly several days later. They are as comfortable as I remembered and my wife thinks they look great. I will undoubtedly wear them out in due time and will order another pair from Zappos.

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.

Old School Classic -
There's a reason these have been around for 50+ years. They're light, soft and wear like a moccasin -- kind of unstructured, with a basically flat insole. The soft crepe soles are squishy and quiet. You kind of grow into 'em, and once you do you'll wear them everywhere. They're really stylish, especially for summer: rock them with a light suit or white jeans, and they're one of the few boots you can wear with shorts and still look cool. I give them five stars for enduring cool factor and timeless simplicity.

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.

A true classic by all definitions -
I bought a pair in late 1981 - that's during the first Reagan Administration. I've resoled them a couple of times but I STILL use them.
Nuff said.

Great shoes - check the fit -
Hello - love my Clarks BUT these seem to run big for me. Usually get 10 should have got 9.5. Still - I've been wearing them for about 2 weeks and finally found an insole that feels great in them - not so floppy now. Bout to get a pair of Desert Trek and will order half size down. These really loosened up on me. Oh well - will just have to wear em out and get another pair. As for ZAPPOS - GREAT SERVICE and SO FAST. REALLY FAST!!! AWESOME!

Sorry but Timberland now makes an almost identical shoe (in appearance) that is much (much!) more comfortable for about the same price. I'm usually brand loyal, but the difference in comfort was significant.

These fit like foot-gloves and look super snappy -snap.
But watch out shoppers! They are slippery as all hell in the ice and rain, and god forbid you step in oil. NY streets are a minefield in them, but when you look like a million bucks you can forgo street safety. A shoe for the stout hearted who like their pede-comfort to come with an English accent.
