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.

The ONLY Desert Boot!
This is truely the only desert boot to own. Nothing compares! I'm hard on shoes and these boots last. My only wish is for shoestrings to last as long as the boots. Don't get me wrong, the shoestrings last as well. But the boots just keep going and going. This boot should be considered a work of art. It's never out of style!

Comfortable and Stable
I bought the soft brown suede. They come soft and comfortable out of the box. The laces seem like they won't really hold the shoe stable, but they do. I think I have a new casual/dress all day shoe. These are great. My feet come in the wide variety, yet these shoes feel great at the usual size without additional width. If you have wide feet, you would be crazy not to buy these shoes.

Simply the best!!
If this shoe is ever discontinued I hope that Buckingham Palace and all it's inhabitants are forced to work at a McDonalds in Sebastopol, Mississippi. I have worn it hunting, shopping, working in the yard. I have owned a pair of Clark's dessert boots since I discovered them as a seventh grader in 1968. They are the most versatile, comfortable and best looking 3/4 boot in the world. You can climb mountains, hike desserts, ford swollen rivers and stay up with your wife at the mall.
Onward,

Just the "Best".
I first bought a pair when I was 25 and wore them for the next 25 years before loosing touch with the stores that carry them. Thanks for the internet. Be careful of oil, grease and gas on the crepe soles...otherwise the best!

There's not a better shoe.
I'm 61 years old and I've worn this style of shoe since I was a very young man (17) and they can't be beat, when I purchase this next pair they will be about my 27th pair and I'll continue to buy them as long as they make them.

A Phenomenal Classic.
These shoes never cease to amaze me. After hearing my grandfather rave about them while in India during WWII, and reading GQ's glowing review of this classic, I simply had to purchase a pair. All I can say is that they do everything. They look great, feel great and last for years.

Teenage companion.
Living in Lagos, Nigeria in 1971, these were the only real quality shoes you could buy. The only other brand was Bata. I thought they were the ugliest, but had a lot of teen "firsts" while wearing them. They held up extremly well in the tropical heat and downpours of equatorial Africa. My dad and brother wore them too. Our "dessies" felt right at home when we were in Kenya's Tsavo game park sneaking through the red dust and acquiring its color while trying to photograph rhino. Their last encore was dinner at the swank Dorchester Hotel in London where strangers of equally swank pedigrees complimented us on how well one of their national icons fared in a posh setting. Years later, in 2001 I renewed my bond with them and still attest to their comfort and classic styling and compliments received even though my safaris are limited to the hot and dusty streets of urban America. Cheerio!

A classic.
I've owned a pair of these wonderful shoes for a while now.
If you're traveling by air, -what a dream.
I'll never outgrow the need for these.
Very few people carry these. Thanks Zappos.

A Very Missed Classic.
You have no idea how long I have been looking for another pair of these wonderful, and barefoot comfort-feeling shoes. After I finish this review I will finally be getting another pair of these wonders for the feet. Thanks for still producing these GREAT shoes.

Classic shoe. I like this shoe because it is lightweight and "raw" (meaning it will form to your foot over time). The color is great and gets better over time. However, the sizing was a bit skewed; I normally wear a 12 and this shoe I settled with an 11.5.

The Clarks desert boot is, indeed, an original. I used to wear this style in High School and College, and I always wanted a new pair, but it had to be like the original. I think this shoe is as original as it gets in style, and materials. I wish I could wear it. It feels at least a full width narrower than Medium (D). There is no Wide width available, and I don't want to go up a half size in length, so I guess I will have to dream on, Horatio. If your foot is a B or C width, you should be fine.

Great shoe, purchased as a birthday gift for my husband. The only issue we find is that the ankle is very loose. With that being said we are returning the shoe based on personal preference. Overall great shoe.

After wearing Wallabees for 10 years, I tried the Desert Boot...another great, comfortable Clarks shoe. With that crepe sole and suede, you really can't get a much softer shoe. Not much arch support, and the half-length leather insole is disappointing, but not uncommon on shoes at this price. I wear a size 11 normally, and the 10.5 fits great. Can't wait to get these soles dirty!

Classic comfort -
Great boots with jeans or kahkis. Some of the comments in other reviews said that they were large for the listed size. I did not find them that way. I had to break them in before they were comfortable. Order your regular size and let them break in.

How to clean my boot?
I wore my boots to the beach and somehow picked up some black dirt that I can't get out. Any Suggestion?

Good looking boot but not as comfortable as I remember them in the '70s! You'll need an insole if you want comfort. But the insole makes them too narrow!

Good shoe, sort of.
I really liked this shoe when I bought it, but after about a year the sole on the outerside of the right foot wore down to a point where it seperated from the shoe. But besides that small fact I think that it is a good shoe.

They arent the same.
I had the desert boots while growing up, when comfort didn't matter. I thought these things were the best shoes in the world, but now its time to face facts! There is no arch, you just can't seem to get them tight enough, I have even tried soaking them and then wearing till dry. Sorry I'll stick with the Clarks - Wallabees, very good shoe, same price,just "ALOT" more comfortable.

Very disappointed in my purchase, not your service, but the Clarks Desert Boot.
For the price I paid, I was expecting much better quality. There is very little arch support in these boots. I would compare them to a cheap pair of off the rack discount shoes.
The quality certainly doesn't live up to advertising hype I've read and heard relating to Clarks shoes.
Won't buy another product made by Clarks!

I hope they loosen up.
I really wanted a 10.5 Wide in this shoe, but since you do not provide Wides, I've been suffering through Mediums hoping they will loosen up. Not very promising so far, I have to untie the laces after a few hours.
