Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a full size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Modtastic! A classic shoe in a world full of questionable footwear. You can not get anymore classic. In one word...classic. A classical classy classic with an emphasis on classicosity. P.S. People with wide feet should get ready for a break-in period. Classic. 2005-05-25 15:12:23 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Forest from Edgemont, SD Overall: Shoe Arch: No arch support Clarks's Desert Boot - Very roomy in the heel, and the lace-up seems very weak & flimsy compared with other "boots" I'm used to, but it may well prove to be perfectly adequate. However, the most important qualities to me are that they're well-made, very soft and cool for walking, and they look great. I'm pleased overall. 2005-05-06 11:27:48 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Anonymous from Southern California Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support No quite as I remebered... My recollection from many years ago was that this was the most comfortable shoe in my wardrobe. When I found it again at Zappos I was thrilled to experience this shoe again. I would say that it looks as good as ever. I like the suede and classic crepe sole, but the shoe is wanting in the comfort department, especially as I compare it to my new Born's purchased at the same time. It seems the heel cup rides low and feels like the shoe is coming off when I walk. 2005-05-06 07:00:22 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Anonymous from New York City Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Great boots - These boots were exactly what I was looking for and the man who is wearing them enjoys them. 2005-05-03 15:11:04 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Bake from Cedar City, Utah Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a full size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support The greatest - These make me feel like a kid again. I've had them 29 days and worn them 28. Get 'em a half to full size smaller than your normal size. 2005-04-27 11:46:35 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Jimmy from New Jersey Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Desert Boots - I have owned a pair of desert boots since the 1950s. I consider them a wardrobe essential. With jeans, khakis or casual slacks I think they look great. I find them comfortable, easy to care for and a great look. For maintenance they require very little, just wear them until dirty (it adds character) and when they develop too much character, wash them with dish soap and a natural brush. And, when the end comes, say goodbye and buy another pair because they are cheaper than sneakers these days. As an aside, they were designed for the British Troops fighting Rommel in the desert during WWII, how cool is that! 2005-04-27 06:41:48 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: The G Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Brothel Creepers... ...is what I think the British soldiers call these because they are very quiet shoes; particularly in sand. I have worn Clark's desert boots in Algeria, Morocco, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia amongst other places and finally decided to get a dark brown pair. A friend of mine wears these on safari in Africa because they are so quiet he can creep up on the animals and take their picture or shoot them. Very easy to get on and off in the middle of the night when the bad guys are coming over the wall. Not a traditional hiking or combat boot so not good for load bearing but on an average day in the desert they are great. They don't overheat your feet and they are easily removed to pour out the sand. Great shoes that go with many occasions. Spray them with stain repellent first though. 2005-04-18 09:31:40 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Johnny D from TEXAS Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Comfortable - The shoe is very comfortable. I own a lot of shoes and I have been wearing these quite a bit. 2005-04-13 07:52:59 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Redape from san francisco Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a full size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support 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. 2005-04-09 17:29:38 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Mikel from Dallas, Texas Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked Shoe Arch: No arch support 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! 2005-04-05 07:53:03 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: John S from new york Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support 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. 2005-04-01 10:09:55 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Mike D from Seattle, WA Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support 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. 2005-03-30 08:37:29 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Anonymous from South Carolina Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support 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. 2005-03-27 09:55:32 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Anonymous Overall: Classic - I love this shoe. It is one of my all-time fvaorite shoes. I have been wearing this for over 5 years and it contibues to be just a comfortable shoes. Good buy anyday. 2005-03-14 12:59:34 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Anonymous from Kansas City Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support 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. 2005-03-13 05:30:17 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Patricia L from Wyoming Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support 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. 2005-03-06 15:48:51 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Anonymous from Columbus, OH Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width 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. 2005-03-02 20:16:00 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Django from Fairfax, VA Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width 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. 2005-03-01 14:17:03 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Anonymous from Los Angeles, CA Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked Feels a little cramped compared to other 10 1/2 sizes but it's okay. I love the shoe and get comments all the time. 2005-02-25 22:25:29 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Susan from Racine, WI Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked 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. 2005-02-25 17:00:25 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Steve from Seattle, WA Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a full size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width 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. 2005-02-25 08:51:27 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Anonymous Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked 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. 2005-02-14 17:30:11 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Anonymous from Los Angeles, California Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width The Clark Desert Boot is like all Clark originals - awesome! This boot lived up to its reputation - awesome in all ways. 2005-01-24 12:08:05 Clarks Desert Boot Reviewer: Anonymous from Virginia Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Comfy CVlarks - Very comfortable. Rums about a half size long.
