Customer Reviews Clarks Desert Boots

One of the most overrated and hyped-up shoes! No doubt it has great style and character to it. Other than that, functionally it is zilch! First of all, the plantation crepe sole looks great and feels great out of the box. After that it starts to attract dirt, muck, paper, hair and everything else like a dirt magnet. It gets so dirty in no time that you'd wonder for how long you've had the shoes or whether you walked in dirt field wearing them. It also starts to peel at the edges and small balls of dirty crepe show up where you keep your feet every day, like under your work desk. Secondly, the shoe tongue is all neat and pretty off the box again, but shifts to the side from the very first wear like a cheaply made department store shoes and stays like that for the life of the shoes. It s an embarrassing feeling whenever the pants shift up and your shoes are shown. Thirdly, the laces are flimsy and cheap looking. They will last you hardly couple of months even if you wear the shoes just 2-3 days a week. Lastly, these are most uncomfortable shoes for the price. There is absolutely no arch support what so ever and these should be sold only at the edge of a desert! Apart from that these are great looking shoes from the top and functionally the sole is good on wet and smooth floors. Had to give single star for Overall and Comfort as there is no option for No Star.

These are some of the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever worn. The sole is flat with no cushioning. The two hole laces are not enough to get a secure fit on your foot.

I have been wearing desert boots for the last 40 years, but I have bought my last pair. For one, I hate that they are made in Vietnam. And the price, my first pair was maybe $25 dollars, and they haven't changed in all those years. Too bad, I'd really like to be buried in a new pair.

The shoes do not fit. They are far too narrow. I tried a size ten, and while the shoe was too long it was way too narrow. If I sized down, it would probably be worse.

Clarks desert boot - No arch support. The leather spots easily and needs to be waterproofed. The crepe sole turns black with wear.
