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.

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.

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.

A classic shoe - These are great shoes with timeless style and apeal. The fact that they are endlessly comfortable as a walking shoe is only matched by their classic shoe.

Excellent Shoe - Bought my first pair, same color. in Saudi Arabia in 1961. They felt great, true to size then as now when I just ordered a new pair. Can't go wrong with these shoes for comfort and ease.

Big Pimpin in this smart Desert Boot - Laurence of Arabia move over, there is something meaner. You will be keeping your pimp hand strong in these stylish and practical suede chukkas. From a weekend in the country, to a night in the city, this shoe does it all. Give this shoe a few wearings to break in. You will note some slight stiffness/rubbing in the top our your foot the first time you try them on.

Clark's Desert Boot - A classic staple for any man's wardrobe. I ordered these via phone at 8:00pm on a Monday night and the box was in my office at 10:00am the NEXT MORNING(!). Insane customer service - the best. I highly recommend these shoes - incredibly comfortable and they pair well with jeans and/or khakis. Timeless style.

This shoe appeared too large for my husband's usual size, so I re-ordered a size smaller. I am giving the shoes to him as a Christmas gift; therefore, I cannot comment on the fit until after he tries them.

Clarks narrowed - The desert boot is a clasic from the 50s. This version is close to my memory. There were two flaws. One minor and one major. First the minor. The shoe string is a very thin flat one that will wear out fast. I will replace it soon with the original one that is round. The second problem is that the width under the ball of the foot is too narrow. I bought these boots for the comfort provided by the soft upper. It is not a medium. The shoe will stretch out and I started out with no socks and increased the sock thickness until the uppers conformed to my foot. Overall I would buy again.

Clarks Desert Boot - I wore these as a little kid in the early 70's and they were about the only thing my father wore for casual wear. When I found out that I could get them, I guess I wanted to be like my father. I don't think I quite carry his presence in them yet, but my mom was sure suprised to see them again. One complain, the laces come lose fairly regularly and they don't provide a very tight fit.
