I love this shoe, I am about to purchase my 3rd pair of desert Trek, this will be my second bees wax color and also I have a pair of the suede ones. My friends started to buy these shoes after they saw how great they looked on me. They would never had thought of purchasing them. Nice shoe for a pair of jeans, button-down shirt, and maybe even a blazer. 2008-10-01 05:46:44 Clarks Desert Trek - Mens Reviewer: Jc from Upstate, NY Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support Really bummed!! I absolutely love this shoe. So you might ask why I rated it so low. Last night I found the leather coming detached from the sole on both shoes in a number of locations. The shoes are only a few weeks old so this really is unacceptable. I thought for sure the shoes would hold up better. I happen to own an original pair from the 70's that were boxed up. Forgot I had them. Anyways I will be contacting Zappos to review my options. I hate to get rid of them and will probably try another pair before I give up. Who knows maybe I will even have a shoe repair place fix them. Really comfortable and look great. Just too bad quality control has fallen off! 2008-07-25 13:38:17 Clarks Desert Trek - Mens Reviewer: Marilyn from Chicago area Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Great classic shoe - My husband loves these shoes, just as he did decades ago. He has a fairly wide foot and high instep and this shoe really fills the bill for him. He recently lost a pair on a business trip and after trying to retrieve them for a day or so told me he HAD TO HAVE A REPLACEMENT PAIR RIGHT AWAY. Great shoe. 2008-05-15 10:17:08 Clarks Desert Trek - Mens Reviewer: Bob B from Fort Worth, Texas Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Could hardly get better - I've had this boot for 3 years now and except for the thickness of the sole, it simply could not get any better. They just look great, even today, after being worn at least once a week for over 3 years. I would like to see them with a thicker sole. Esthetically they would look much better, plus, would probably be even longer lasting. I will buy another pair at some point. 2008-05-08 12:22:45 Clarks Desert Trek - Mens Reviewer: Seth from Columbia, South Carolina Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support These deserve some kind of award - Do they hand out awards for shoes? They should. This is a winner in looks and comfort. I feel like I'm wearing a piece of understated art, but walking on a cloud. Beyond that, it's hard to find the right words that express properly my enthusiasm for these shoes except to say that I love them so much that I want to wear them all the time. I'm a freelance writer, which means that I work a lot at home, where I have the luxury of padding around in my socks or slippers. Now I'd rather pad around in these, they're that comfortable and that much fun. As for size, I had a little trouble determining what was right for me, but then my shoe size ranges anywhere from 11 to 12, depending on the make of the shoe. I would say that the size runs pretty true to what a Converse Low-Top Chuck Taylor runs or about 1/2 size smaller than the typical Born Oxford. I'm most comfortable in an 11.5 Chucks or 12 Born and at first, hearing all the advice about how they run big, I went with an 11. I could fit my feet in, but the leather pinched in places and there wasn't much wiggle room for my toes. I replaced them with an 11.5 and the fit is spot-on. (As an aside, I also ordered the Desert Boot, which does indeed seem to run large and my best fit there was an 11.) Buy these shoes. You won't be sorry. 2008-04-29 18:14:14 Clarks Desert Trek - Mens Reviewer: Bob from Longisland NY Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support NINJA SHOES - I love the feel of my new desert treks, I always joke with my kids how they cant here me walking and they love to laugh with me. Love the shoes but a bit ugly I will buy another pair tough. Very very comfortable and the service at Zappos is by far the best on the web. 2008-04-03 21:48:03 Clarks Desert Trek - Mens Reviewer: Fran from New Jersey Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support Classic - Great classic shoe! A little tight around the middle part of your foot, but that will loosen up. Order your true shoe size. I made the mistake of ordering a 1/2 size smaller and had to give them away to a friend. He digs them as well! 2008-04-01 18:01:29 Clarks Desert Trek - Mens Reviewer: L.s. from Boston Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Comfortable from the Get-Go - These shoes were comfortable from the minute I put them on. There was no breaking-in period needed. I got them just before leaving on vacation, and even though I did lots of walking, my feet didn't hurt at all. They are a great everyday shoe. 2008-03-03 05:13:47 Clarks Desert Trek - Mens Reviewer: Anonymous from Charlotte, NC Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a full size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support Flat footed - This shoe is great. I have had nothing but good results from it. The waxed finish looks great and you can easily rub scratches out with your fingers. I'm flat footed so the lack of arch support is an issue. 2008-02-28 21:29:51 Clarks Desert Trek - Mens Reviewer: Mr. M from Wayne, New Jersey Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support A close second - My all time second favorite pair of Clarks true "classics". Second only behind a discontinued product offered by Clarks roughly 8 years ago. ("Urban Trek")Which are soon to be re-soled. These Desert Treks will serve you well for years. Purchase with vigor my friends you will not be disappointed. Great look and feel... may run a half size large. Have great confidence when purchasing from Zappos. Great customer service and care. 2008-02-02 13:31:27 Clarks Desert Trek - Mens Reviewer: Anonymous from Chatsworth,Calif Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Journey back in time - I used to wear these shoes in High School back in the early 70's. They were comfortable then and they still are. Great Shoe!!!!! 2008-01-02 05:15:31 Clarks Desert Trek - Mens Reviewer: Mamabird from Gastonia NC Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Loved the shoes - I ordered these shoes for my son who is a knob at the Citadel. His coach had a pair and my son loved them. I ordered them one morning and the next day the shoes were there. My son has not taken them off since he got them. He says they are the most comfortable shoes he has ever had. 2007-12-04 06:04:21 Clarks Desert Trek - Mens Reviewer: Indiana F from IN Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Like a true moccasin - This shoe fits perfectly and was spot on when it came to size. I had always wanted a pair and Im not disappointed, they mold to the shape of your foot and can be worn anywhere with just about anything. One big plus is that even out in the rain or mud they just dont seem to pick up anything on the soles. I have tile in my house and they never leave spots or dirt on the floor. They are the quietest shoe ever. I will certainly replace these when they wear out. They have a wonderful shape once worn-in and the toe box is wide enough that my feet never get tired in them. They will soften up nicely over the course of a week or so. 2007-11-24 12:25:06 Clarks Desert Trek - Mens Reviewer: Anonymous from Louisiana Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked Shoe Arch: No arch support Nice shoe, but - I found the workmanship not up to the last pair of Clarks that I owned. There was a sloppy attachment of the sole to the rest of the shoe, and I found the shoe to be more narrow than expected. After 4 or 5 days this improved somewhat. I also had to go to an insert to have any type of arch support. I really like the plantation crepe sole and wish I could find more shoes with this feature. 2007-11-04 17:56:36 Clarks Desert Trek - Mens Reviewer: Anonymous from Seattle, Washington Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support Classic - These shoes are classic, it says a lot about them that I'm seeing them crop up in trendy shoe boutiques when they've been around for at least 30 years. The leather is good quality, although it needs a lot of breaking in, and has a beautiful finish. My gripe with these is the plastic encased toe box - it makes the leather fold in one spot where the edge of the plastic often hits my foot, and this also makes it sorta visible on the outside once they're broken in. Also, the ends of my feet are always sweaty when I take them out. The height of the shoes also causes the collar to rub directly on my ankles. They interface much better with some fits of pants more than others; so far they look best with my loose khakis folded up in front. Another gripe: little rocks and bits of gravel on the sidewalk sometimes get embedded in the crepe rubber, and dirt paths are the bane of the porous rubber. On the other hand, the rubber makes these ninja-quiet, which is sweet. 2007-09-04 11:07:06 Clarks Desert Trek - Mens Reviewer: Clarks I from California Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support This is how much I like this shoes. I was wondering around which shoes I would go for as my next shoes. I had the same model for a long time, but I could not find anything about the same, in terms of comfort, looks, or the price. At the end of the day, though I thought I wasnt too creative, I bought exactly the same shoes. After all, this 2nd shoe gives me everything I wanted. Enough said. 2007-08-21 22:11:28 Clarks Desert Trek - Mens Reviewer: Anonymous Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Arch: No arch support Fabulous! These pair of shoes mark my first purchase from Zappos and I am impressed (though they could lighten up on the packaging materials). Clark's Desert Trek is the quintessential casual shoe. The elegant profile is both functional and compliments many styles. The shoe is comfortable and roomy, though no trace of arch support. Nonetheless, your feet will love you. 2007-07-18 14:07:50 Clarks Desert Trek - Mens Reviewer: Anonymous from madison wi Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support Nice look, not so comfy. These shoes have a great look, are durable, and are constructed well overall. but, arch support is not so hot. I've tried different inserts, a full-size one crowds the toe box, had to settle on a half-size insert. 2007-07-17 13:36:31 Clarks Desert Trek - Mens Reviewer: Anonymous from San Bernardino, CA Overall: I like my Treks however, I had to have them restiched on the side after about 7 months of wearing them. 2007-06-16 18:04:14 Clarks Desert Trek - Mens Reviewer: Anonymous from sherman,texas Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Nice shoe - Takes me back to the 70's...............great with jeans.....lots of compliments on the look. 2007-04-25 06:30:00 Clarks Desert Trek - Mens Reviewer: J. S from Tulsa, OK Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support I'm 17 years old again!!!! I had a pair of Trek's in college, circa 1971. I wore them until I was 45 years old in 1996 when they finally blew out. When I slipped on my new pair I closed my eyes and was back in school again. All is right in the world now. 2007-04-15 16:35:49 Clarks Desert Trek - Mens Reviewer: Chase W from Michigan Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked Shoe Arch: No arch support Funny Shoe - I like this shoe. I get comments about how strange it looks. It doesn't hold-up on my feet to long but then I go through a lot of pairs of shoes. 2007-04-14 14:16:14 Clarks Desert Trek - Mens Reviewer: Jason M from Rochester, NY Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Very Satisfied - I am very satisfied with my purchase. Not only did my order arrive the very next day at no additional charge, the shoes themselves are extremely comfortable. I have been looking for a casual & stylish pair of shoes, and these fit the mark. Great Job. 2007-04-07 20:55:25 Clarks Desert Trek - Mens Reviewer: Moderate S from Midwest (Ohio/Michigan/N. Illinois) Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support An excellent casual shoe - I live in the Midwest and just got a pair of these "Desert Trek" shoes at Journey's shoe store. I was looking for a replacement for my Dr. Marten's 1561-style shoe that I got about four years ago... I needed something that works for lots of weather conditions (snow, rain, ice, etc)... so I zeroed in on these and they fit the bill, and more-so! I like the leather quality more than the "Doc's" and the sole is just as comfortable, if not just altogether better. I've had a lot of positive feedback from friends... these are a classic look that are great with jeans or corduroys. I heartily recommend them! 2007-03-14 21:24:06 Clarks Desert Trek - Mens Reviewer: Johnny L from Dallas, Georgia Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Best shoe ever! This shoe is simple, stylish, and rugged. It has that old school 60's mod coolness that will never die. They can be worn all day long. They look great with jeans or khakis. Truly a timeless classic.
