Customer Reviews Clarks Desert Boot

Love these shoes. Purchased them for my 28 year old brother and he is a big fan; says they are very comfortable. The color is very rich. He wears a consistent 10.5 and we had to exchange for the 9.5 b/c they were one whole size too big.

I freaking love these shoes! Extremely comfortable - I typically wear them with normal socks, sometimes wool. Always look great too.

These shoes are amazing. They make any outfit look incredibly classy. However, if you are looking for arch support, these are not for you. They are flat as anything and have pretty much no support, but I usually wear flip-flops so that does not bother me.

Great product, I purchased this shoe based on the reviews from Zappos. There is plenty of color combinations available, and the build quality is really top notch. This is my first pair of Clarks, but it definitely won't be the last. I'm usually a 10.5, and purchased a 10 based on the feedback from everyone.

I'm very satisfied with these boots. They go well with anything you can wear brown shoes with. I got the oxblood since suede does not do well in the snow and I'm glad that I did.

Awesome boot. Saw it in a men's magazine, I think it was 'Details', jumped on to Zappos and ordered an 11 (my normal size). The 11 turned out to be a tad long so I ordered a 10.5. Perfect fit!

These boots are really comfortable and the camo is subtle and stylish. And they came with a second pair of shoelaces, orange!

A stylish boot you're sure to enjoy. I purchased the grey color version. It may sound far fetched, but I receive lots of compliments on them. The boots are very cool. For wet weather, the sole makes it an ideal choice over your leather soled shoes. My foot is wide, but these 'medium' width boots appear to have been built on a generously wide last.

Pretty solid choice if you're looking for a Chukka type boot. Green sole is not as loud as you might think. I bought a half size down since they will stretch out with use.

I love these shoes, there's not much more to say. This style of show goes great with so many outfits and these particular colors really stand out! Great shoe!

First off kudos to Zappos and their service agent. I had bought the Wallabees about 3 years ago and they're great but they always felt a little loose, so when it came time to pick up the desert boots I thought I would go half a size down (based on some comments). But when they arrived they were a lot tighter than I had anticipated. So I sent them back to Zappos...hassle free! Very simple process and super quick. I tell a lot of people how wicked of a service they provide. Now back to the shoes. Well, I gave them 5 stars in every category so I must like them. Once I got the right size it took a day or two for it to mold to my feet, but after that, the rest is history. These shoes are a must in anyone's shoe collection! Will be picking up another pair shortly.

Great looking boot. Wears great with any type of pants. The high top can rub up against your ankle and irritate skin sometimes, otherwise perfect.

Love these boots. Classic upper color and a great pop of bright green on the bottom, also comes with a extra pair of green laces in the box. Very comfortable.

These are easily my new favorite pair of shoes. I usually live in my Doc Martens, but they're not the best for the sweltering summers in New York. These give me the same look while being much cooler and a thousand times more comfortable.

Very pleased with this product; very stylish, comfortable and sneaky as advertised! I am more pleased with Zappos. The customer service advertised is no joke. I found this product at a lower price than every other source I went to, and they even gave me overnight shipping for free! Regardless of whether or not you purchase this particular shoe, I highly recommend staying with Zappos. Everything from the welcome email to the shipping gift has me wooed and in love!

From the moment I laid my eyes on these Boots, I immediately fell in love with them. Maybe it's because I love anything with the Union Jack flag, but lets be serious, the design of the flag does look pretty good on these boots. The feel and comfort of these boots is amazing. I do suggest to layer them with a waterproof coat to maximize the cleanliness of them.

Great shoe/boot! Fits a little big I normally wear a 10.5...but need an 11 in Clarks. Instantly wearable right out of the box. Dress up or down with these!

I ordered these and two days later they were at my door. I got my regular size 11 but they were a bit too big so I returned them and promptly received my 10 1/2 for a perfect fit. These shoes are comfortable and look great for casual occasions. I can recommend these shoes and I can highly recommend Zappos!

Had these boots for a couple months. Love 'em! Many compliments on these versatile boots. Casual and workplace compatible. I would buy a pair in every color if I had the cash! Highly recommend to anyone who appreciates classic style and comfort.

I really like the style and comfort of the shoe. It comes with both cloth and leather laces. I felt it was true to size. The only complaint, not much arch support, but I knew that before I bought them. Never, the less they are comfortable and I really like the color and look.

Great boots! Run at least a half size large (if not a full size). Still breaking them in, but it's what you'd expect with leather boots. Sprayed them with a water-proofing spray, slogged through a couple miles of dirt and slush in inner Minnespolis today and all the city grime literally fell right off. My feet stayed warm and dry just fine. Great shoes. Note: I bought the olive ones and they look grey in the picture, but they were very green when I got them and looked at them.

This is the first pair of shoes that I love that aren't sneakers. When I first put them on, I loved the way they looked, but they were amazingly uncomfortable. This is because they don't have thick padding that (immediately) conforms to your feet like sneakers do. Instead, the tough, long-lasting leather must be broken in and the sole takes getting used to. My feet were in agony for the first couple days, but then the shoes broke in and now, I love their feel. Are they uncomfortable compared to sneakers? Yes. But they have such a unique feel because the sole is thin and the crepe material is unique and infinitely entertaining to squish and play with during class. The fact is, I had never worn anything but sneakers before I got these. So if I can get used to these shoes and come to love their unique feel, why can't everyone else? There is one small problem with the shoe. It has absolutely no arch support, so make sure to get a pair of superfeet 3/4 insoles. I got them for mine and they feel so much better. Also, because they are made in the UK you have to go down a half size or a full size. I'm a 9 to 9.5 in sneakers, and had to get a size 8 in these. With age, the leather becomes pliable where it counts, and it gets scuffed so it takes on a really cool, worn look. These were not meant to be kept pristine like sneakers. They look better and get more comfortable with the wear. The leather is simple and sturdy. Overall, these shoes feel like shoes to live in. And you cannot beat the stylish, classic look.

Great shoe. Surprising how comfortable it is with being so simple. Takes a bit of getting used to at first if you are used to tennis shoes, however. I did wax mine to try and protect them a bit longer. Changed the color a bit, but came back to the same gray after a few days.

First off, like most of the observations here, these shoes do indeed run a little large. I wear a consistent 10 but got a 9.5 because of the overall fit consensus and I'm glad I did. A 10 would have been a bit too large. Also, because I'm used to better arch support, with these shoes, it's almost essential to purchase some sort of insert. No real complaint there because I do that with most shoes. If I have any complaint, it's with the shoestrings - at least the ones I got. They're ridiculously cheap and I'm sure would break within the month. However, I had some REI boot strings on hand and replaced the existing ones. Otherwise, I'm thrilled to own these shoes (again) because it's a real blast from the past and they do hold up and "age" well. I wore this style of shoe exclusively from 5th grade and throughout high school (60s/70s) and, until very recently, didn't even realize they're still made. Glad I found them.

I have been wearing Clarks of England Desert Boots, Treks and assorted others since the early 70's. I am addicted. I have a picture of me around 1974 British Leyland Triumph TR6. I'm not sure I understand feeling SO strongly about a shoe (or a car).
