Awesome. These shoes were at my door 22 hours after I ordered them (and I selected standard shipping). My boyfirend hasn't worn them yet, but they look awesome. And Zappos' service is the best.

Great throwback shoes - Like going back in time. Very comfortable except my feet are older now...may need to try heel gel inserts to absorb a bit more shock. Feet stay cool and cozy. Only minus is the flimsy laces (also just like they were in the past), but replacements are e-z. Will buy dark brown too. Zappos is tops.

The right thing - The retro cool look of this shoe was perfect... they go with blue or black jeans, or cuffed slacks. Dressed up or down, they work. The fit is slightly large, which is good since they did not come in the 1/2 size that I would normally buy. Very comfortable right out of the box; I'll use them a lot. I looked and couldn't find these anywhere in stores.

So long to the desert boot - I have worn this venerable shoe for more than thirty five years. My father wore his for more than fifty. I am very sorry Clarks is discontinuing this style.

First buy atZappos - I was unbale to find these shoes in store, so I went to Zappos. These shoes are OK, but most of all, Zappos is great. They offered me free "2 business days delivery"! I think I will go again with them next time I need shoes. They would even be able to make you buy shoes when you don't need them, just for the pleasure of dealing with them.

Watch your size!! Love desert boots and bless you zappos for having them available. If you've not owned these guys before watch your size. I wear US 11 1/2 - 12 but wear a 10 1/2 desert boot. They stretch out with wear so a bit tight to start but then they ease in just right. Perfect for all your modern action needs.

Blast from the Past... I had worn Clark's Wallabees while working overseas in the '80s and loved the fit and comfort. As a kid I had worn 'chukka' boots with jeans in the '60s. So when I spied the desert boots from Clarks I naturally decided to take the plunge. Unfortunately, either my memory or my feet have changed considerably over time. These are well made (as all Clarks are) shoes with the classic look that goes with jeans or kakhi pants. But the comfort is not the reason to buy them. The gum sole is in fact the only saving grace - as it provides some measure of spring in your step but not much. In this day of high-tech, track-shoe insoles, Clarks needs to seriously consider revamping (no pun intended) the insides to give better support and comfort. Other than this, the shoe is true to the boots I remember!

Clarks are the best - I could have used some care instructions at the time of purchase, but other than that, these boots comfortable and good looking. I wear them all over.

Still stylish, even after all these years - This is an amazing shoe. Everyone seems to like the look of them, and are stunned when they realize they're the old stand-by shoe from Clarks. Tips to use: 1. You need a suede brush to keep them looking fresh. 2. They tend to be a 1/2 size large. I wear a 12.5 US, and I ordered a 12 which fit fine. 3. They do need to be broken in a bit. No blisters, but some rubbing spots happened. 4. Get ready for lots of compliments.

I purchased these shoes for my 83 year old father who uses a walker. He has always liked Clark's desert boot because they not only are comfortable but they wear well and keep their appearance. I appreciate Zappos selection of sizes, prices, and prompt attention to my orders.

Clark's Desert Boot - First pair of Clark's and am hoping that the legendary comfort will come as the shoes break in over time. I was disappointed by their initial comfort. It's been several weeks now of lots of wear and 2-3 block dog walking excurstions are pretty comfortable now. I also had to get pretty aggressive with waterproofing and cleaning treatments. Any liquid contact stains this shoe's light suede color. Wish I had gone for a darker color for sure.

Wonderful shoe! My husband has been wearing this shoe since the early 50's when he was a Navy pilot in CA. Now living in Casper, WY, I was so happy to come across Zappo's on-line. The entire transaction was just great and he is very happy with his new shoes.

NewFoundGlory - I heard about the in GQ and just bought them. Definately a purchase that will last through the years. They go with just about anything. Only complains would be the footbeds. Gots some gel insole and they are comfy. Lace them a little loose. It helps.

Desert Boots - This is a good looking boot. I felt the brown looked a little too dark, close to black. I was walking in the snow the other day, and these shoes were like ice skates. Other than that, some of the best shoes I've owned.

What a Find! My significant other has been looking for these shoes for a long time. I took a chance and through a Google search found them at Zappos. Turned out to be a great Christmas gift. The size was correct and I'm told they are very comfortable.

Wear them loosely - Great looking boot, but the first few times I wore them, the top of my foot got sore. This is because the laces only cross once, meaning only one point of contact with the foot. The also don't lace up very high. However, if you wear them very loosely... presto! Very comfortable. Takes a little getting used to, but worth the effort.

The forefoot was a little tight, but a quick trip to the local shoe repair guy fixed that--you can custom stretch real thick leather shoes - something to keep in mind. Fit like a glove now.

Good old "D" boots! I have been wearing Clark's D boots for about 30 years. I bought my first pair in college, and have been in love with them ever since. There is nothing out there like them and probably never will be.
