I've had these for about a month now, and they've held up really well. The color is really accurate, and they go really well with anything. Love to wear them with a dark blue pair of skinnies, a contrasting undershirt, and a nice flannel. Great for city walking too, but definitely buy some insoles.

I have wide-ish size 13 feet and ordered these shoes in 13. At first they felt a little narrow where my foot bends but they only took a day or two to break in. The inside is essentially flat, so like another reviewer said you might want custom inserts if arch support is a concern. Mine feel fine as-is. Considering most other desert/chukka boots in this style cost quite a bit more, these are a great price even with the added cost of inserts.

Brands I'd also recommend: Clarks, Keds, Dr Martens

Ignore my comfort rating, as these shoes are definitely a full size too small and I never got to wear them. One note that I would make is that they don't have the "low slung" and structure-less look of a traditional desert boot, but rather have a somewhat rigid rounded toe box that feels more like wearing a pair of Bass nubucks.

Great looking shoe. Goes well with a nice pair of jeans.

Shoes are very comfortable and nice looking. The soles, however, are a VERY soft "gum" rubber and will wear out quickly.

First of all these shoes look reckless! The olive against the green laces don't really match! But they do look great on your feet! If you're flat footed get gelling, cause you'll be yelling after your first 10 min walk in them. But for imitation Clarks they break in real nicely and pass for the real deal. Great buy.

Love these shoes - they were exactly what I wanted and fitted a big void in my shoe inventory. Thanks Zappos!

These shoes were perfect! The only quibble I could make is they aren't as thick as I would like. But I am extremely satisfied.

I had the luxury of trying on these shoes at a DSW, and I'm glad I did because the sizing felt a good deal larger than marked. I typically wear and 8.5 or 9, and the 8's fit me pretty well. I like the desert boot style of the Clark's, and these are definitely look-alike's. Someone asked me the first day I wore them if they were Clark's. The suede is soft and supple and the sole is nice and spongy. Two Downsides 1) The stitching where the upper meets the sole feels a little thick and uncomfortable agaist the inside and outside of my foot. I'm hoping this goes away after some breaking in period. 2) Not as significant, but still noteworthy, I feel like the rubber sole builds up a lot of static electricity. In the dry winter months I feel like I shock myself 3-4 times a day while wearing them, which didn't happen with other shoes. Still recommended.

Light weight, comfortable, and stylish, not to mention, inexpensive. I love. I will probably get a second pair.

Really good looking shoe. Especially for the price or so. But as others have mentioned, there is zero foot or arch support. So the comfort is so so. But, again, the cost. I put a Dr. Scholles insole in them and they might be the most comfy shoes I own.

I purchased these boots from a discount department store for a little less. They look really nice with jeans or corduroy pants. There isn't much arch support, but are comfortable enough that they can be worn for an evening out. The soles, however, have a very strong smell. I've had them for a couple of months now, and the smell has yet to go away. I would not wear them on a first date or if you know you're going to be in a setting where you're going to be seated around people for an extended amount of time. Unless, you'd like to tell them upfront: "That weird smell? Yeah, that's my shoes."
