Customer Reviews:
Review #1 Clark's Desert Boots The good: Original Clarks--just like I had in the 60's (though no longer made in England). Size was correct. Arrived in less than a week even with free shipping. The bad: Shoes have a musty odor which will hopefully fade. Review #2 Cool but the color is a dirt magnet I love these shoes, I had a pair about twenty years ago (made in England then!) which were dark blue. I got comments on them all the time so I was looking for something understated once again and found these. They're much more comfortable than I remember the other's being at first but I was distressed to see how much dirt they pick up.
Review #3 Good Old Desert Boots I've bought two pairs of the Clarks Desert Boots from Amazon. One Dark Brown and the other the original Tan.
I'm very happy with the purchase and with the boots. The fit perfect and bring back fond memories of the 60's, when I wore them for YEARS. They are as comfortable as I remember.
They bring a smile to my face when I look down at my feet. A very fond smile.
If I had to fault them.....it would be that they are manufactored in Vietnam. Being a Vietnam Veteran I "wish" they were manufactored elsewhere.
Review #4 Timeless my foot! I used to pretty much live in these boots, but for some reason--possibly related to the move to Far East production--Clarks now only make them in a much narrower fitting than before. They've also ramped the price up since they came back into fashion--they used to be a great, cheap option for students and the like, but they're now about three or four times the price of the cheapest alternatives. A sad end to a great British tradition of comfy, economical, yet stylish and well-made shoes. Review #5 Clark's Desert Boots Comfortable, classic look and quality construction. They can be worn either casual or business casual. Definately a great purchase.
