Review of Clarks Originals Men's Desert Boot

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.

Product Description
An international cult classic, the Desert Boot was inspired by the crepe-soled boots worn by British officers in World War II. Soft, supple suede full grain leather uppers and a genuine plantation crepe outsole deliver all-day comfort. Timeless styling has remained unchanged for fifty years.

Product Description
Men's classic suede leather boot
Take a hint from WWII's British soldiers, who were apparently quite fashionable, because the Clarks Desert Boot was inspired by them. A durable yet flexible authentic plantation crepe sole creates an extra comfortable platform on which the foot sits, while a durable suede leather upper is made to last. Discreet lacing crosses high on the vamp, and thick stitching around the sole adds extra texture. Padded footbed. Leather upper. Crepe outsole.

A Clarks original.
Men's shoe.Imported.
