Customer Reviews Clarks Desert Boot

I bought these shoes hoping they wouldn't hurt my bunions. Very comfortable and true to size. I wear them all the time with jeans and a sweater. Stylish!

I love these desert boots! They are so comfortable! I fractured my foot, but it has since healed, and this boot has brought comfort to my everyday life! I would recommend this boot any day!

I love these boots. They are a little tight around the top stitching at first but they break in quickly. I have people commenting all the time on how cool they look. Also, the grey color goes with everything! Fit is pretty true to size.

Initially these felt really stiff, and I thought about sending them back. However, I really liked the look, so I kept them. I've only worn them one day, but they are already softening up. Yes, there isn't much arch support, but I feel like the shoes will mold to my foot the more I wear them. I have Clarks artisan sandals in a size 9, but I needed these in an 8.5 (what I normally wear): the 9 only fit with very thick wool sock, and I was worried they'd stretch out too much over time.

I love the style of these boots They go perfectly with jeans and a sweater for the fall/winter. The first couple of times I wore these they were extremely uncomfortable, after about 3 times of wear they broke in. I would not wear them for long distance walking though. I wear a size 10 and usually have to order wide sizes. These fit just fine after breaking them in. They are a little loose, but I would not recommend ordering down a size, wear thick socks to increase comfort. I've gotten so many compliments on these boots!! I'm thinking about ordering another pair in black.

Love my new boots. Seems to be true to fit because I wear a 9-1/2, ordered the same, and it fits great. Does not have a lot of support, so I may add some. Looks great with jeans, and love the nonskid sole. As usual Zappos rocks!

Zappos is the best! And their shipping compares to other place. Not to mention, they have great customer service. I love shopping at Zappos.

These boots a really cute, simple, well made and comfortable. No arch support, but I got an 8 (I wear a 7 1/2 and 8 usually) to accommodate that. I wear these boots any chance I get.

I absolutely love my Clark's desert boot. I wish I had found them years ago. I had been wanting a light work boot that is cute but practical and comfy, so I didn't have to wear sneakers everywhere. These look so cute with jeans, and I feel sexy in an outdoorsy way. I will always own a pair, now that I know about them. I wear them all day every day! My preferred color is beeswax leather. The taupe distressed looks a bit sloppy.

I received this pair of shoes a month ago. I got the smallest size (6) even though my feet fits 5.5 best. At first, the front part felt tight and with the thin socks I usually wear, it was painful at times. I've since switched to thicker socks for some padding and wore the shoes as often as I could. Nowadays, it gets more and more comfortable by the day. Needless to say, it also looks great!

They are great! I where them often, because they are comfortable and look great. The waxed leather does well in snow & rain. (Obviously not deep snow!)

I love the retro look of these shoes. Very comfortable. No break in time at all. Will buy another pair in the future.

Love these boots! You can dress them up or mix with casual wear and still look very put together.

I am only sorry I didn't buy a pair of desert boots sooner! They are one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I own, and great for walking all day. They don't have much arch support, but the crepe soles offer a lot of shock absorption. I wear a size 9 in heels, and an 8.5 in sneakers, and the 8.5 in this style fits well. With so many designers offering their take on this classic shoe, I recommend getting the original - still the best!

I'm very happy with this shoe. They fit true to size and only get more comfortable with every wear. I typically wear them with thick socks on cold days but they are really good on snow and ice although I wouldn't use them as a snow/rainboot substitute.

A classic look that will never go out of style. I love these boots - they look equally cute with jeans or with tights and a dress. Very comfortable (bonus!)

desert boot - I like them those are the ones we had in the 70's leed's shoe made them with sheepskin inside. you left out the sheepskin makes some and they will sell more and drop the price so every one can buy a pair. so they can afford them to get at list one pair. They are great shoes and comfortable. elaine

Really nice boots. A bit tight at first, but wear them for a short breaking in period and they stretch nicely. Look great with boyfriend jeans.

I purchased Clarks Desert Boot in Taupe Distressed, and couldn\'t be more pleased with my decision. I was needing something more substantial than a moccasin and which could be worn with a variety of different outfits, mainly casual. The boots fit true to size, and are more comfortable than anticipated. They look great with thick wool socks. FYI if you order the distressed, they will some with a slightly dirtied sole. No matter, since it makes them look slightly broken in! Highly recommended.

FYI - the black suede style comes with a different colored sole than pictured here. It comes with a black sole instead of the natural color. That's why I'm sending them back. This is a really cute boot. Fits comfortable, great for a narrow foot and really versatile. I just don't like the monochrome all black - it seems.....frumpy. When the black suede is paired with a natural colored sole, that is aces. I think the next best option is the beeswax.

I was nervous to order these based on reviews stating people couldn’t get their foot in. So when I got the opportunity to try them on at a Clark’s store, I discovered that it was indeed true. I could not get it on. I went a half size up and that worked. Knowing this, I decided to order the shoes still from Zappos as I was out of town and didn’t want to risk not being able to return them easily should they prove to be uncomfortable in another way. They do have a sticky bottom, so while trying them at home, I applied cling wrap to the bottom so they didn’t pick up any carpet or hair in the case I needed to return. The leather does stretch, and the boots fit nicely. I wear them with and without socks and have not had any issues breaking in. They do lack arch support, so these are not my first choice when I’m doing any long term walking, however that being said, these are my go-to boots. They are casual, yet can be paired with dressier styles, skirts, and dresses. They are my new love! Try them!

These are awesome. They just look so good with everything. however.... they are made for people with long toes. the toe box goes back very far and they are a touch narrow. I am stuffing them to hopefully open up the toe box a little so I can wear insoles for arch support and have room to move my toes a little.

These boots are good looking and are very well made. I have not worn them yet as they are more for winter and fall so I can't judge them for comfort. Feels true to size and width.
