Customer Reviews Clarks Desert Boot

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.

This shoe is very nice. It is very comfortable and goes with anything. It is very comfortable and gives your feet support. I would advise that you buy a suede cleaning kit because if liquid, polish etc. touches the shoes it will be very hard to clean but otherwise this is one of the best shoes I have ever worn. One more thing: buy it at your right size because this shoes stretches.

Slightly Mixed Review - These are great looking boots but I will say that there comfort level is not the best. Great for a 2-3 hour jaunt around the neighborhood but any longer than that, good luck.

My new favorite shoe - Just discovered Clarks Desert Boots and they are quickly becoming my new favorite shoes. Awesome style, great comfort. Lace them loose. Felt a lot bigger than my normal size. I'm usually an Adidas Originals kind of guy; the crazier the color the better, but these add a nice retro, subtle touch to my wardrobe.

I read the reviews on these shoes for weeks before making my purchase, and I was only increasingly sold on them every time I looked at them. First of all, the shoe fit perfectly. I ordered a half size up like some people suggested, but they were too big. So I ordered my correct size, 10, and they really do fit like a glove, and they really are pretty comfortable. Second, I am speechless at how fast Zappos is. I ordered on Saturday and received them Monday. When I called to exchange them for the proper size, I received THAT pair Tuesday! And all of the shipping was done for free. I can only say long live Zappos and may you be continuously be prosperous.

Make me feel like a hippy - From what I hear, if you've ever worn a chukka boot, you've worn this shoe. For those who haven't, it's very, very quiet. I kinda feel like creeping and lurking and sneaking up on people while wearing them. I ordered my size, and while they do feel loose-ish in dress socks or thin cotton, fall-weight cotton socks fill them out nicely. A boot that doesn't feel like a boot, no wonder they were all over the seventies! I like this boot and will now be adding it to my staple of shoes.
