Bought these flats because they are Uggs. I really love the comfort of Ugg boots so was sold these would be comfy, however that just isn't the case. Bought a half size larger because the informative reviews led me to do so. The fit is perfect but the shoe still wants to flop off, and guess it's because the top hardly comes over your toes. I still love my Ugg boots, but these shoes, not so much. Zappos would have gladly given me full refund, but I'm keeping them anyway. Hopes this helps with your decision. I'm off to shop at my fav shoe store, ZAPPOS!

A good looking shoe. Several friends have commented and asked where to get a pair. They are comfortable, light, streamlined - looks great with crop pants. Only "negative" is that the sizes are off. I tried a 7.5 - my regular size - on in store. They fit, but were just snug enough that I did not feel comfortable buying them. The store did not have size 8 in stock so came to Zappos and they fit fine.

Great looking shoe. The only negative is that you may need an insert to make the shoe more comfortable.

Great shoe, much better with added insole - Great looking shoe and comfortable in a lot of way (very soft on the step), but no comfort for the heel for me. A lot of heel slipping and basically felt lit i was on an incline... I add an insole and it is now the most comfortable shoe ive ever owned. I got the brown suede which is a bit light in color but i sprayed it with a weather protector spray and it has darkened perfectly.

Great Casual Boot/Shoe - As usual Clarks Desert trek Shoe is one of the best designed shoes on the market. The leather is soft and well crafted. The boot has plenty of toe room with the rounded shape and the sole has a nice soft give to the feel on a hard surface.

This is the most comfortable shoe I have ever owned. I plan on getting them for the rest of my life. The leather ones, when they break in, are nice, but the suede is more comfortable all around.

This is indeed the most comfortable shoe in the WORLD. I currently have 5 pairs. If you naturally have flat feet, this is definitely your shoe. Oh, I am due another pair about now too.

Great shoe - Love the chestnut color and Desert Trek fit, wider toe is better for me than the Wallabee. I will definitely buy again.

Super Shoe - I currently have 4 pairs of these that I am wearing. That says it all. I wish they came in navy blue; then, I'd have 5 pairs. They have almost no arch support, but I wear orthotics anyway. Perfect!

Very nice shoe. One of those that get more comfortable and better looking as time goes on. Looks good dressed up as well as casual. Good purchase. Wearing them as we speak.

Great looking and feeling shoes - Living where I live it is nearly impossible to find size 13 shoes - unless you have them made by hand (not a bad option actually). These Clarks run just a bit big, but they are great looking and feeling shoes... I'll wear them as is because I can't bear to send them back and wait for the new size.

These are the best shoes I've owned, and I've owned a lot. I've had them all...Campers, Fly, Tsubo, Medium, Born...etc but these are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I've received many compliments on the shoes and they look perfect with jeans. This is my first pair of Clarks originals and they definitely won't be my last.

Clarks Brown Oily Desert Trek - I worked for a Clarks Outlet for over a year while in college and I know Clarks originals far better than the average Clarks wearer. This shoe is wonderful. The soft crepe sole is as soft as the Wallabee sole and makes for an easy walker without need for any breakin. People always used to come in to our store and say they remembered wearing them back in the 1970's and 1980's. I can see why they lasted this long and why they'll keep lasting. This is a great shoe.

Awesome shoe - First off I just want to give kudos to Zappos for their awesome service. I’ve ordered from them several times and to say the service was impeccable would be an understatement. Now about the shoe. They’re perfect for what I was looking for. Something between casual and dress that was comfortable and looked great. Just as comfortable as advertised. I ordered the black pair, wore them and ordered the brown pair about a week later.
