Customer Reviews Clarks Desert Trek

Not for wide feet!! Based on the look and all the reviews, I oredered this shoe but was sorely disappointed when I found I could not wear it and must send it back. I do have wide feet, but I never have to order wide sized shoes. Usually, if something fits tightly to begin with, I will endure it a few hours while it stretches. I love the style but I simply cannot endure wearing it.

Womens Desert Trek - Excellent shoe; typical Clark's comfort, in classic styling that is sometimes difficult to find in womens shoes--hope Clark continues to offer.

I ordered the Desert Treks for the specific purpose of a warm winter shoe to walk on ice. I have found crepe soles good for walking on ice, but unfortunately this shoe was painful in the toe area and the ankle area, so I had to return them. They were a great style though.

I wish these were more comfortable! These shoes LOOK really great with jeans or cords. Unfortunately, because of the thick leather, every step cut into the top of my toes where the shoe bends. I think it would eventually stretch out as it became broken in, but I could barely stand to walk across the room! The suede version would probably be very comfortable (my son has them and has had no problem) but I didn't like the light color for myself. Overall, the shoe seemed small, but again, I think it would stretch with wearing and fit fine, as I usually have no problem with Clark's shoes.

Hurts my ankles - The look of the shoe is great but they need much "breaking in" for me to enjoy. Terribly rubs against my ankle.

Too high in heel - The back of the shoe cut into my ankle every time I moved. Love the look, but hurt the back of my ankle.

Cute But Painful - Love the retro look of these shoes. Took the advice and ordered them a half size smaller than my usual which turned out to be correct. However, I am a thin person with protruding ankle bones and, while I found the narrowness of the shoe a plus, the top edge of the shoe rubs against my ankle bones causing much discomfort. I've worn them 4-5 times and they have given me blisters every time!

Cute shoes but not enough support - The shoes are just as I remember in high school. I guess I have gotten used to shoes with better support overall. They are comfortable but after a day in them, my feet ache from not enough arch support. I put in some Dr. Scholl soles, but that made the shoes too tight. Also, if you get the leather ones do not spray them with water proofing spray! I did that right away and thought I ruined them! They dried all blotchy and weird. I had to scrub them with saddle soap and then use colorless leather lotion. They are much better but not like when I first got them. Over all, they are nice shoes for casual wear but don't expect them to support your feet very well.

Desert Trek - I am so disappointed with this shoe. The look isn't bad, but since there is padding only at the heel area and not under the ball of the foot it hurts! Can't be returned as worn outside and thrown away money hurts even more.
