Customer Reviews Clarks Desert Boots

Solid shoe - Very comfortable shoe. Only problem with it is that I think the soles are too flimsy. It's a gum sole and seems like it'll wear out in two months. I've only been wearing them for 2 weeks.--so far so good. They provide no traction whatsoever if the ground is wet. I live in LA so it's no problem for me; I wonder how people in seattle have dealt with this shoe... I tried this shoe on in the store before so I already knew what I was getting. I suggest everyone do that if possible.

Great shoe but need to bring back wide widths - I've purchased new pairs of desert boots every year since 1976 usually through L.L. Bean but now they are very hard to find. I love this boot. Back in the 90's they were making them in China and I have to admit they were made better in China, they had a slightly thicker sole and they had a liner on the inside and most important they made them in "WIDE" widths. Around 1999 Clarks quit making the wide widths, I found a store in Canada that still hade some wide widths and bought them all. Now I need new desert boots but can't find any wides. If anyone reading this knows someplace that sells them with wide widths please e-mail me, I'm in desperate need, these are the only shoes I'll wear. I've tried buying the current medium widths but the toe area is just to narrow. I don't know what it is with Clarks nowaday's they were always the one place you could get wide size shoes. Also I've noticed that the current sole on the desert boots is thinner - not a good thing! I believe the Desert Boots that were made in China during the 90's were the best. I wish Clarks would bring back that line of the original desert Boots.

Width - I very much like the Clark desert boot and Walaby but they are too wide. If there were a narrower width I would buy many pairs. In the future if these shoes are offered in a narrower width I would like to be contacted. Thank you.

A Great Product Never Dies - I got my first pair of desert boots after I saw George Harrison wearing a pair on the cover of the Abbey Road Lp. He has been a great influence in my life so why not assume he knew something about comfortable shoes. Well it is obvious that he knew something about shoes. The desert boot is the most comfortable shoe and the best thing a person can do for his/her feet. Thanks to Clarks for keeping them around!

Clarks Desert Boot - This is my first pair of crepe-soled Clarks and so far they're great. I really like how these boots conform to your foot. The leather is soft, but still feel rugged. It seems that these along with Wallabees are all wider than marked, but that allows for more toe room.

Jimm D. in montana - The Desert Boot, and the Trek are both shoes for the busy big male human. They are always comfortable, but are bad for wet and slippery paths. In hospital settings, you can do procedures and stand on hard floors all day without having tired body-foot syndrome.

A Timeless Classic - another 5 stars to Zappos.com! These shoes run big so I used the free UPS shipping label and was able to exchange my Desert Boots for a size smaller. I got the Sand Suede color and they are a work of beauty. Highly recommended!

Back to the future! I wore Clark's Desert Boots (or knock-offs) as a kid over 30 years ago. I really liked this classic design then and after a long hiatus, I like it now. They are about as comfortable as you can get (I teach and am on my feet a lot). Last year, I bought 2 brown pairs and have just ordered a black pair. A tip for the wide-footed: I usually wear a wide width (2E) but found the Medium (M) in these boots very forgiving. The shoes soon and easily conformed to my feet. They were never too tight. The size was on the mark.

Fantastic! Wow! The shoes look even better than the on-line photo. I was looking for nice pair of comfortable, classic shoes. The Desert boots fit the part. Look great, feel great. I've got the brown and may now have to get the black. Absolutely outstanding service from Zappos. I requested standard shipping but Zappos sent my pair of Desert boots 2nd Day air, all for no shipping charge. I'm one happy Desert Rat!

Clarks Desert Boots - My first expereience with Zappos and I was very pleased. The product I wanted and shipped to me at my home. What more could I ask for. No mall crawling! Great!!

Same as British Officers at Central Command, Tampa Fl. First wore these at Madrid, High school in Spain, in the 60's. Went through at least 5 pair before moving on to Weejuns. Asked a British officer where he got his. Couldn't go to England so started searching the web. Zappos is one of the few places I found them. Almost like going back to my youth in Spain. Great feel, great fit, great look. Got the tan, will get the brown next. Can't wait to run in to the Brits in the PX here to show them my Desert Boots. Fit better than my GI issue desert boots.

My feet feel very comfortable in this pair of boots. Not too loose, not too tight. They are light so you can walk a long distance with them on your foot. They look great with your casual khakis and white jeans. I highly recommend Clarks's Desert Boot to those who enjoy the casual way of dressing on weekends.

Very comfortable, very attractive. Careful, the sand color gets dirter very easily.

Size and fit are fine but I had to take them to a cobbler to have an extra set of eyelets put in above the two sets that come with each shoe. They feel much better now and actually stay tied longer. I've no idea why Clarks doesn't just make them with three sets.

These actually fit me closer to true to size for me, mostly due to the width of the shoe. The only thing I didn't like is that it didn't come in a Clarks shoe box (just a generic one) and they weren't packaged very cleanly. The leather isn't super soft but I do think they will break in and hold up!

fit was good

Clarks are consistent with their products. I have purchased this style many times before and have been happy with the fit.

Bit large.

Can’t wait to get

What’s not to love about Clark’s originals? Really? I have a couple pair of desert boots.

Fits big unlike other desert clarks that i have but the sryle os standard and the color and material really is nice

I like the desert boot, and have always had at least one pair in my closet for years. This slate gray color is ok. Personally, I think it might be better if it were either a shade darker, or a few shades lighter... but it’ll do. The photos of the olive color look just like a really great older pair i am retiring, but in person they are much more green than the photos. Keeping the gray, returning the olive.

I normally wear a 12, I needed to order a 10.5 or 11. I went with the 11. Depending on your foot, order a full size down or more. Not the most comfortable shoe, but the style is really great! I knew that going in, very happy with the shoe.

Good fit, half size too bit but super comfortable
