Customer Reviews Clarks Desert Boot

'60s euro cool. I love these boots. They're pretty comfortable, but not exceptionally so (The arch support is virtually nonexistent. I'm getting archy insoles...). The main thing is they are understated and look very cool. They're also very simple and seem quite durable. Good for sauntering around town in your snazziest '60s tight-fitting suit. Other reviewers have remarked on how quiet they are. And yes, you could sneak up on just about anybody if you're so inclined. Quietest shoe on the planet.

Nice!!!!!! Ok, by now everyone knows how good Zappos is, but I just ordered these last night; I woke up and saw a email that they have shipped, went to the gym and they are on my porch when I came home. Unbelievable service. Now for the shoe. Size was correct, looks are incredible. I tried them on with everything I have and I think I could have found the one shoe that works with everything. I did put a heel insole in for extra cushioning though, and might even get a premium insole so I can wear these a lot more.

The picture does not do justice to this shoe. I bought it in bronze and was worried it was going to be splotchy-looking as it appears in the photo. It is not! It is a beautiful unique, dark golden color with a great subtle shine; far from splotchy and dull! Very comfy and well-constructed as with all Born shoes. I expect it to last for years; well worth the money.

Coolest Shoe - OMG!!! Lightning fast shipping from Zappos! This shoe is so awesome! It fits great and looks amazing...goes great with jeans or khakis...I want another pair!

Clarks are the best looking boots. Clarks is the originator of the desert boot and they are under a $100, plus they are so comfortable I can't believe it. There is little arch support but for some reason they don't feel that way. I have a herniated disc and I find these to be the shoes/boots I reach for every day.

At long last - I have wanted these boots as long as I can remember and they are definitely everything I hoped for. As these boots were not offered in women's sizes, I ordered the men's size two sizes smaller than normal and they fit perfectly. I am looking forward to a long and comfortable relationship with them.

Sir can I have another… pair - I was looking for a pair of black suede boots and stumbled across these. I purchased a pair thinking that they would be like all the boots I have purchased, but boy was I wrong. They didn't take that long to break in (today is the second time I have worn them and I have had them for about a week now) and they feel like they were built for my feet specifically. The black looks dressy enough for dress casual here at work and since I am on my feet for most of it; they are very comfortable.

I feel like a teenager again. I've been wearing Desert Boots since the mid-'70s, and I'm so happy that they're still available. I've noticed that they're no longer made in England (Slovenia), but the quality seems to be on a par with the older ones. After a short break-in period, Desert Boots are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned, including sneakers. My only complaint is that the sizes are a little off - English sizes and American sizes differ slightly, so us Yanks should probably order 1/2 size smaller than usual. Please include an extra pair of laces, or let us know where to buy them. They're cotton and don't hold up particularly well.

Still a Classic - I've owned Clark's Desert Boot for over 40 years. This still has the same classic good looks and comfort. If Clark keeps making this boot with the same quality, I'll wear them for another 40 years.

Best Boots Ever - I am a boot guy. When I set out to find a pair of boots in a mall. This is what I found. Very classic, very comfortable, suitable to any dress occasions. About 1/2 size larger though. No complains.

Another 25 years! I bought these boots for my husband for Christmas. He'd bought a pair 25 years ago and they were finally getting too soft and sloppy for him to wear much. He was so thrilled with his new ones. They appear to be even better quality than the old ones and we fully expect to get another 25 years out of these. Thank you so much for carrying this product and thank you for the incedible shipping! To get them that fast at Christmas was just unbelievable!

Good shoes - The shoes made by Clarks are of good quality and very comfortable. They came at a good price and I am very happy with the shoes.

Great buy, great comfort. If you have not bought a pair yet, get with the program!

The Best Shoe Ever - I bought my pair of Desert Boots last week, not the new ones, but the classic Original Desert Boot. This shoe fits my feet very comfortably. It's unlike any other shoe I've had. They feel very soft on my feet. I plan on buying each of the various colors. I hope they could be offered in other fancy colors such as blue/khaki.

Clark's Desert Boots Rule! I've had my pair for 15 years and they're still good as new with the original laces and I wear them alot - even to construction sites. Clark's are simply superb and the original Desert Boot is so right on that nothing else is as good! If you want the best there is no comparison.

Heed the advice; these shoes are larger than advertised. Be sure to order a smaller size. While these are the exact shoes I had in mind to buy, even with an insert I still have to wear thick socks, and I bought half a size smaller than my usual shoe size. Also, I find this generally true with classic Clark's shoes--be prepared to break in the shoe around the ankles and instep; wear thicker socks than you normally do in the beginning.

The desert boots were promptly delivered and they looked exactly as the picture did. My husband was happy with the quality and feel of them when he opened them on Christmas. They remind him of his fun teenage years.

Clarks is a brand that speaks for itself. These shoes are very comfortable and well made. The only drawback is the black suede attracts dirt and lint like no other. However these are very stylish shoes and I plan on buying other colors.

Great pair of shoes. My only ding would be the laces. They are too thin. However, I've bought another color after getting these... so that should say it all.

This a good shoe. It keeps your feet warm. To me everyone should have a Clarks.
