These shoes are great. I love the clean, simple, classic look. So many shoes today are too fussy with lots of unnecessary details. It doesn't get any simpler than this, and the price is so low for what you get. I have seen so many other shoes that cost more and appear cheaper. The reason I bought these is that they are very low profile and not clunky, so I can wear them with slim jeans. Also, they're more comfortable than I even expected. They're better than some sneakers I've worn lately with thin soles. Something to note though, I usually wear a size 12 shoe, and the 11's fit me like a glove, just perfect. 2008-10-21 05:30:40 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Jake from Chicago Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support The somewhat loose fit takes some getting used to, but it's quite comfortable overall. I do wish I had ordered the lighter shade of suede but these still look classic. 2008-05-29 08:21:07 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Anonymous from Los Angeles CA Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support Traditional - This is a serviceable shoe/boot. I find the heel to be lower than I like. Softness of the sole is not as good as original crepe. 2008-05-24 05:43:37 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Mark S from Santa Cruz, California Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Great shoe, great fit - I was really pleased to see these shoes on Zappos as they were an old time favorite. I ordered my normal size, had a few days of a tender heels until they felt like they old friends they are. I highly recommend the shoes and Zappos. 2008-05-04 07:14:55 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Anonymous from Chicago Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support Great Shoes - These shoes are great. They look good on you. They're comfortable, but not comfortable enough to wear all day long unfortunately. If you do a lot of walking or standing all day like myself, make sure you have another pair of shoes. When you get these shoes, waterproof them!!! I didn't, and I regret it. Zappos is great; the shoes were delivered to me faster than fast. The shoes feel true to size- I wouldn't recommend getting any larger or smaller. 2008-02-20 09:40:39 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Mean G from Virginia Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Old school shoes - Great shoe, a bit stiff in the uppers. Had to double back my sock to keep the back of the shoe from rubbing my heel raw. But they are sufficiently broke in now and look great. I wore these 30 years ago and bought them for my 50th birthday present to me! 2008-02-07 09:41:16 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Randy from Baton Rouge, LA Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a full size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Great shoe, but runs WAY big - I love these boots. They look great and go with just about anything. They also feel great. However, I normally wear between a 10 1/2 and 12, and while the pair I have are 10 1/2, they're still kinda' big on me. 2007-12-23 07:37:30 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Anonymous from santo domingo , dominican republic Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support A classic - Very well made, a true classic shoe for those of us who were young in the sixties .This shoe was developed by a personal friend, Mr Nathan Clark during ww 2, and still sells. I love to wear them when I drive my Corvette. 2007-12-21 17:21:29 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Arthur K from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support A Low-Profile, All-Purpose Shoe - Clarks Desert Boots are brilliant. They're very handsome, but totally unpretentious. They're incredibly sturdy, but also the most comfortable shoes that I've ever worn. And last -- but certainly not least -- they go with anything. I can fathom wearing these with a suit after a mink oiling (although I am yet to do so), but I tend to wear them with khakis and a polo, or shirt and sweater. Pick these shoes up, no shoes-trees required! Note: When you first get these shoes, they may feel slightly large. Mine did. But I wore them once or twice, tying them tightly, and they really fit like a glove. I just wasn't used to wearing unpadded shoes. 2007-12-04 08:30:07 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: E.m. S from Seattle Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support A True Classic - Classic shoe; slightly snug upon initial wearing but broke in almost immediately. What I love about them is that the eyelets stop midway up the vamp; allowing better mobility at the ankle. It's all about the smaller details. I highly recommend this boot! 2007-11-01 21:45:15 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Anonymous from Vancouver, Canada Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Great boots. So far I love them. The crepe soles are comfortable and seem to be wearing well. The suede is quite nice and dark enough that a bit of rain doesn't ruin it. The only complaint is that they aren't the most comfortable shoes after 20 hour days, but most shoes aren't 2007-10-16 18:08:34 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Eric from Allentown , Pa Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a full size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked Shoe Arch: No arch support Only for skinny feet. These boots were a little snug at the store , I thought maybe they would loosen up after I wore them for awhile. Boy, was I wrong. Major pain for my feet after 3 days. 2007-08-23 10:25:54 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Anonymous from Amarillo, Texas Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: No arch support When I wear these shoes, I feel as though I'm going barefoot! 2007-04-19 17:58:18 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Kevin M from Santa Cruz, California Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Old Skool Kicks - Just like I wore as a kid and just as comfy too! Ah to be young again at 50... 2007-03-27 17:18:22 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Bill F from Boston, MA Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support Classic good looks. I hadn't owned a pair of desert boots since I was a kid in the 70s. But when I bought a Barbour jacket, I thought these might be the perfect thing for a fall and winter weekend look. Glad I did. These things are just so smart looking and the suede is a beautiful deep brown. And they are as light as a feather. 2007-03-06 10:57:04 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Anonymous from Philadelphia Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Clarks Desert Boot Rating - 5 out of 5 stars. May take a little getting used to, but once they are broken in a little they are very comfortable. Unique look. Would buy another pair. 2007-02-26 17:45:07 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Lynne from Frankenmuth, Michigan Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Great boot! I gave these boots to my son as a holiday gift. He loved them. Said they looked great and were really comfortable. They got to him really quick too. I am very happy with this first purchase from Zappos and I will absolutely be buying here again! 2007-02-09 18:00:07 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Eight08supreme from Massachusetts Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support The Classic - It's a great shoe. Very masculine, stylish, and a great feel. NOT THE BEST IN SNOW...so GET THESE SHOES WATERPROOFED and re-waterproofed and clean to keep em looking new. I love this shoe. 2006-12-16 07:28:31 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Mark M from Phoenix , Arizona Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Clark's Shoes: Love 'em! Just exactly what I like. Feel great and look great. Just what I've liked about 'em since I was a kid. And that was long ago. 2006-12-05 12:38:50 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Martino from Atlanta Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support Still a classic - I wore these when I was a kid in the late 70's, my pop wore them thru the 60's & 70's as well. Excellent looks, goes with anything, I get a lot of positive comments on them. They're uber cool in the old school way. No real arch support (I added insoles to solve that) and they need to be broken in for a few weeks before you will really appreciate the comfort. I read that they ran big so I ordered one half-size down and that worked perfectly. Highly recommended all around. 2006-09-29 04:56:18 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Robert J from Maryland Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Clarks Dessert boot appraisal - The boot lives up to all that I know about it. 2006-01-26 19:23:01 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Anonymous from Portland, OREGON Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Clark's Desert Boot - Been looking for a classic boot like this for years. Found it. Ordered it from Zappos and got it 48 hours later! Perfect look, very sleek and stylish in an old school way. Goes with any outfit. Takes a week to wear in. The top of my right foot big toe had some discomfort but eventually wore in. My favorite shoe I own. If you're looking for something slightly different and cool this is the shoe to own. Also it's a rare item in stores. Zappos is the easiest place to find them. THANK YOU!!!! 2005-10-28 10:02:22 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Cuban65@hotmail.com from Dallas, Texas Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked Shoe Arch: No arch support Classic but... Well, I was very happy to promptly receive my desert boot. I can't say enough good things about Zappos. About the boot, well, it's definitely a nice looking boot. Classic, artsy, masculine, and adventureous. Contrary to what others wrote, I found I needed my usual 10.5 and not a half size down as others had noted. Also, the boot runs quite narrow. I'm a good ole 10.5 D (medium) and it is a bit snug. I can't imagine having a moderately wide foot in this thing. The shoe strings on these suckers are seriousily wimp! I've had the boots a week and I already know that I am going to have to replace them soon. As far as looks go, well it's a winner. This shoe is in that rare class of shoe that can share closet space with seriousily cool and expensive footwear and be just as cool. It's a fashion bargain which is ironic because this is not a fashion shoe. It's a classic. Just like Moleskin journals or old Levi's it ages beautifully, is inexpensive, and works well in any number of situations. So, buy a pair, drink some port, wear a really cool turtleneck sweater, and drive a Mini Cooper. Yeah baby! 2005-09-22 09:19:13 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Bjohnson from Silicon Valley Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Lovely - Pity that this style has been discontinued. Service great. Quality great. 2005-07-05 22:41:50 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Anonymous Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Clarks Desert Boot. My husband had been wanting a Desert boot and I immediately went to locate them on line. Clarks were at another merchant at lower price and as I generally check out Zappos always, Sure enough they had the same shoe. Good to their word not only did my husband have his shoes in upgraded two days free of charge but the 110% policy too. If you find it somewhere else and Zappos can accommodate you, they as good as their word. The shoes are a big hit with my husband. He feels like a teenager again.
