The Clark Desert Boot is a timeless classic.  The boot is very versatile when it comes to wearing with different attire you can dress up with slacks or dress down with jeans.  I received many compliments from co-workers the first day that I wore these boots.  I chose the taupe suede, I believe the pictures were very accurate (there were 2 pictures of the brown style though in the slideshow, but all of the other photos were of the true taupe suede).  The boot has a very light feel to it and the sole of the boot allows for a soft and quiet step.  The sizing of the boot was very accurate and like other reviewers (and Clarke salesmen) sizes should be taken down a half size from US sizes.
