Customer Reviews Clarks Desert Boot

The best in the world - I am originally from London, England and I've been wearing Clarks for a very long time. As far as comfort, excellent and style, words cannot describe. I still have pair since 2001 and still going strong. These boots can go with any type of dress code from jeans, slacks even shorts. Keep up the good work Clarks, love you like cook food...

Always Original - A newer version or style of anything is never better than the originals. Thanks Zappos from allowing me to have a pair of the original desert boot Clarks.

Clean, Sharp, Classic - They look good. They're casual, with just the right amount of 'dress'. They look good with jeans and khakis. They're a great alternative to the trendy 'athletic-inspired' shoe. They're classic. You gotta love Clarks. Plus Steve McQueen wore 'em. Need I say more!?! (I will say one more thing though: Even though the shoe basically fit, following the suggestion to buy a size smaller, it's kind of tight in the toe, but slips off the heel. It's a minor problem, but should definitely be fixed.)

Clark's Classic Desert Boots - After wearing out classic tan Desert Boots from wearing them nearly every day in Afghanistan, I've ordered two more pair for Iraq: A tan, and a black for more "formal" occasions. It's good to see that Clarks are still as durable and comfortable as my first pair...back in the 60s!

Feels good! I have been looking for this shoe for a while and when I found it on the website I couldn't believe that they had them. The price and the speed that they came in were awesome! They fit great and look awesome with anything.

Excellent - Great looking shoe. I've been searching all the malls and Clarks stores for this model and color. Nothing. Then a friend referred me to Zappos.com. They got it and the size I wanted. Came out cheaper plus FREE SHIPPING when I bought it online. Came in EXCELLENT condition. I will DEFINETLY buy shoes and recommend Zappos.com to my friends.

Clark's almost classic desert boot - This man's desert boot is the closest you will find to the original '60s classic. If you loved the original, you will love these. If you don't remember the originals, you will love these anyway! Great with jeans, khakis or cords, and in a variety of fabulous colors. You'll want them in all the colors!

Great throwback shoes - Like going back in time. Very comfortable except my feet are older now...may need to try heel gel inserts to absorb a bit more shock. Feet stay cool and cozy. Only minus is the flimsy laces (also just like they were in the past), but replacements are e-z. Will buy dark brown too. Zappos is tops.

I have loved these shoes for decades. Zappos makes it easy to keep me well stocked!

The right thing - The retro cool look of this shoe was perfect... they go with blue or black jeans, or cuffed slacks. Dressed up or down, they work. The fit is slightly large, which is good since they did not come in the 1/2 size that I would normally buy. Very comfortable right out of the box; I'll use them a lot. I looked and couldn't find these anywhere in stores.

Just love them - They are great. Classy, casual, and fun to wear.

So long to the desert boot - I have worn this venerable shoe for more than thirty five years. My father wore his for more than fifty. I am very sorry Clarks is discontinuing this style.

Comfortable - The shoe is very comfortable. I own a lot of shoes and I have been wearing these quite a bit.

Clarks are the best - I could have used some care instructions at the time of purchase, but other than that, these boots comfortable and good looking. I wear them all over.

Still stylish, even after all these years - This is an amazing shoe. Everyone seems to like the look of them, and are stunned when they realize they're the old stand-by shoe from Clarks. Tips to use: 1. You need a suede brush to keep them looking fresh. 2. They tend to be a 1/2 size large. I wear a 12.5 US, and I ordered a 12 which fit fine. 3. They do need to be broken in a bit. No blisters, but some rubbing spots happened. 4. Get ready for lots of compliments.

I purchased these shoes for my 83 year old father who uses a walker. He has always liked Clark's desert boot because they not only are comfortable but they wear well and keep their appearance. I appreciate Zappos selection of sizes, prices, and prompt attention to my orders.

Wonderful shoe! My husband has been wearing this shoe since the early 50's when he was a Navy pilot in CA. Now living in Casper, WY, I was so happy to come across Zappo's on-line. The entire transaction was just great and he is very happy with his new shoes.

What a Find! My significant other has been looking for these shoes for a long time. I took a chance and through a Google search found them at Zappos. Turned out to be a great Christmas gift. The size was correct and I'm told they are very comfortable.

The forefoot was a little tight, but a quick trip to the local shoe repair guy fixed that--you can custom stretch real thick leather shoes - something to keep in mind. Fit like a glove now.

Comfy CVlarks - Very comfortable. Rums about a half size long.

Good old "D" boots! I have been wearing Clark's D boots for about 30 years. I bought my first pair in college, and have been in love with them ever since. There is nothing out there like them and probably never will be.

Beautiful - The shoes are exactly what I was looking for and I was unable to buy them in my state even by special order. This was truly a wonderful find.

Very pleased - These boots are the most comfortable run- about shoes I own. Next to Sperry boat shoes they are the best.
