Customer Reviews Clarks Roar

Excellent boot - Definitely a 5 star shoe. Very comfortable right out of the box.

Comfy But Not Cozy - Overall, this is a great boot for mild temperatures. In typical Clark fashion, these boots are immediately comfortable. The boots (at least in the brown color that I purchased) have a cool worn look to them right out of the box. Nobody is going to walk up to you and say, "Oh, I see you got new boots." They’re not attention getting in a flashy way. Similar to pre-faded jeans, they just appear to be something you've been comfortable wearing for a long time. Not in a bad way, in a great way. I guess I could sum it up by saying they are probably not a boot you would "shine." One negative aspect only: The boots are not insulated, simply one layer of leather, especially in the upper, which may be a benefit in the comfort department. So either buy a half size larger and layer your socks, or just plan on wearing them in above freezing temps. Best for fall and spring if you live in a northern climate. Overall, love the boot and would gladly purchase again.

Roarrrr! The Clark's Roar is both a comfortable boot and an aesthetically pleasing one too. There is hardly any "breaking-in" time.

Highly Recommended! Fantastic boot. Great-looking and ludicrously comfortable.

A comfortable mild winter shoe worth every penny - I bought these to replace my German MARC boots as they are similar boots. These Clark's were even more comfortable. In fact they are more comfortable than they look. I gave four stars for the look. They scuff easily since they have a suede/velvet-like surface texture. However, for the price you get a pair of boot that keep you warm, dry, and comfortable for an acceptable price given we are in 2009. They have better sole traction than the combat boots I wear for working (I am in the military)! I wholeheartedly recommend these boots for casual cold weather wear.

Wow! Comfy and light. I hate it when boots are heavy and uncomfortable. My first time wearing Clarks and I can't believe I went this long without ever owning a pair. These feel better than sneakers! And breathe so much better.

Good all around casual shoes - I was looking for something that I could wear during a trip up north that would look all right for wearing on the plane and would work for walking in snow. The shoes looked great with jeans (not for the office unless your business casual includes jeans). Mostly walking on one to two inches of snow my feet never got cold and the sole had a good grip. The price was ok. I'm sure there must be a brand that's a better value out there but these are fine if you don't have a ton of time to shop around.

Great boots - The Clark boots I ordered actually exceeded my expectations in comfort and looks. Have worn them on cold days and they really keep my feet warm and dry. Great fit right out of the box.

Really comfortable shoes - I really like the shoes. They are comfy and warm. I wear them to walk the dog or to work.

Clarks, yet again, has come up with a shoe I really like! My dad had a number of pairs of Clarks Desert boots; I think his first pair was acquired during the WWII N. African campaign. Over the years, I've continued to buy Clarks shoes (the Rhino was one of my favorites). The Roar is just the most recent winner. Thanks for the opportunity to write about it.

Great value- good looking - I found these at a Bostonian Store in a local mall after shopping for a suede boot online for months. I bought them on the spot because most of the suede boots were designer types often at over $300US a pair. They don't come with Vibram soles so don't expect Vibram durability. They are not waterproof. They are "cemented construction", you know like a sneaker. One heel is wearing down but all of my shoes do when I walk on concrete sidewalks for very long, especially leather-soled shoes and especially when wet. These look great with jeans, good quality or old reliable khakis, sweaters, corduroy sport coats etc. These are really perfect for when this big boy just can't get away with wearing sneakers or when I want to look like the ivy-league lit teacher and not look a banker. The rest of my week I look like the banker.

Good gawd these shoes rock! Just got my second pair. Others are Taupe suede. These are some good looking boot/shoes. I love them. As for the wear issues mentioned below I haven't noticed. The brown ones I’ve had for 8 mo of pretty frequent wear with no real problems. Oh...and the best part. I ordered these one night at 11 and they were at my door by lunch time the next day. WOW thanks Zappos. Friends for life.

Clarks Roar - These shoes are super comfortable. The sole is made of a gummy compound and with the vibram like tread really grips in all conditions. The only downside is that with this grippy tread it makes an annoying squeak on hard floors. But I still would recommend to anyone, but buy a half size smaller than normal.

These shoes are the perfect fit. I climb at least four days a week and they have held up so well, the quality is great. 5.10 has the best sticky rubber out there.

Comfortable, good looking boot. I bought these a week ago hoping they would be the perfect footwear for an upcoming trip to Russia where there is sure to be tons of walking. I've worn them every day and absolutely love them. So totally comfortable and look good with everything short of maybe a suit. Definitely happy with my purchase.

Really nice boot - I like the style and the design of this boot. It is very comfortable from the start; however, I wish it had a bit more arch support. Otherwise, it's a really great boot and I recommend this for both casual and casual dress situations. I'm not sure it is at the level of a hiking boot but for general outdoor use it is okay.

Great Boot - Fantastic looking, durable, and great if you’re on your feet all day. I'd buy again!

A great shoe from a great place - As usual, ordering from Zappos couldn't be easier. They had what I wanted, I received it the next day at no charge and it was exactly as described at their site. This shoe is really made for casual wear, but it's attractive enough to wear with a blazer, or for casual "button down" Fridays. I would highly recommend it, as well as Zappos as a place to buy any shoes.
