Overall, the shoes are only sold in medium sizes, which equates to wide.

uppers are soft and comfortable, the sole is flexible, but has little, no cushioningshoes squeaked for the first week, until I rubbed some talc between the uppers and the tonguethe welt is a little larger than I expected, with large stiching, giving the shoe a slightly industrial boot look

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Boots--Iconic Design--Very Comfortable

I've spent most of my life in boots of one sort or another and these are by far the best casual boots out there. They are great multi-tasksers--equally at home on the trails, at work, or on the town. These are my second pair of Clarks Desert Boots. I still have my first pair--the beeswax leather--I wanted them in black too.

The boots are very durable, well made, and are made from 100 percent natural and sustainable materials. Also, they last forever, provided you take care of them--use appropriate polish, mink oil and saddle soap as needed and these will go on forever. When the sole wears out it can be replaced inexpensively at most shoe and boot repair shops.

Although there are some tasks that other boots would be better for--I would much rather have my Gortex lined Matterhorns for slogging through the snow than my Clarks (these are desert boots, not slog through the Arctic boots)--the Clarks can step in and do the job--and still look like boots--as opposed to looking like a pair of beefed up sneakers like Hi Techs or what have you.

The only drawback to these boots is that they can be hard to get for under $100 or at all in some cases. They are rarely on sale and they sell out pretty quick. I had to wait three months to get these, but they are worth it.

I am a person who before always wore sneakers. Vans, Converse, Pf Flyers , Macbeth, etc. This is the first boot I have ever owned, as well as the first footwear that upon first slipping on my feet, felt just right. The perfect angle for your feet to sit at, quality materials, and classic look. I actually chuckled to myself after getting them tied, because it felt like these shoes were made for MY feet. There are not many shoes that i can say that for, but these are one of them.

Upon ordering, I was mildly concerned about the sizing. (U.S. customers) Some said that it was a full size larger, while others said only a half size larger. I would like to say that if you are a person who typically wears their shoes tight, to actual size, then all you need is to go down one half of a size. I wore a size 9 for most of my teenage years. Until recently, I tried sizing down a half size in all my normal brands, and while taking a couple days to break in, they fit SO much better. I typically wear a size 8.5 in all the brands mentioned above, with a tight fit. I say tight but i mean actually fitting. In Clarks, I wear a size 8. So it is safe to say that if you are like me, and do not require much toe room and like your shoes to fit, 1/2 size down is perfect. Keep in mind that these boots are meant to have a bit more room in the toe area than most shoes.

If you are debating the quality or craftsmanship of this shoe, think no further. I can promise you will not be disappointed. I now know my go-to shoe/boot for all occasions.

i take a 12 US. Clarks. the Desert Boot is good for me because it has a wide toebox. It's a classic style, yet understated, which can go from casual to dressy. The Jamaican edition features a JA flag embroidered into the front, and contrast stitching around the sides and on the back. It's subtle, yet stylish. This particular pair fit perfectly. i have two other Desert Boots, both size 12. one was a bit small at first (though it stretches out over time), and the other just a bit large. The pair that ran large has extremely soft, even floppy, suede. This upper on this pair is a little bit stiffer. The sole is also not as flexible, maybe because of the black paint on the sides of the sole which add rigidity. Somehow the sole feels more substantial than my other pairs, even though they appear to be the same thickness. Anyway, that's a good thing, but be aware there are variations between styles. This boot looks fantastic and has just enough ankle support while still remaining flexible. At the sale price, it's a no-brainer, especially if you are into roots reggae.

I love my Clark's this is the second pair I have purchased, I did find that I needed to size down half a size to get the best fit with them.

I am currently alternating between three different pairs of them and love all three. Keep in mind these only get better as you continue to wear them and break in the leather.

Pros:
Looks good with anything from casual wear to business casual.
Solid sole with good grip in all situations
Easy to put on and off, I find these are great in the airport
Leather is high quality and wears well.

Cons:
Fairly flat with low cushioning, if you have issues where your feet hurt walking around avoid these.
Toes get pretty beat up with day to day wear so I keep casual and work shoes seperate.

I am wearing these now, as I do almost every day, and I absolutely love these shoes. They are so comfortable, and have a look that goes with anything. The more you wear them, the more comfortable they become. The fit me perfectly, so I believe the size runs true. I get compliments on these shoes often and my wife always picks them out when I ask which shoes to wear. Highly recommend!!!

I purchased these beautiful shoe boots for my male best friend for Christmas, in addition to a Nautica sweater from Macy's of the same color. I was so excited that I ended up giving them to him around Thanksgiving instead.

He LOVED them!! - The sophisticated appearance, the color, the material, the way they felt on his feet, and the exterior soles (they're beige but gray is meshed up in there; a good way to ensure that if the beige gets dirty, no one will be able to tell).

The ONE drawback was that the shoes were ONLY sold in medium sizes, which equates to wide. He has no choice but to wear thick socks with them and then put a pair of thin dress socks overtop of those. He loved the shoes so much that I asked him if he wanted me to return them and find another pair of shoes; he adamantly said no, Lol.
