I had been wanting a pair of Clarks Desert Boots forever and when I saw the price on Amazon I just had to buy them. I would've been stupid not to as the price was such a bargain compared to prices anywhere else. The color of the boot is exactly as shown in the picture and they're very comfy. As others have said, downsize. I didn't go down an entire size though, I went down a half size and they fit perfectly with a little toe room for when it comes time to wear thick socks for winter. If you've been contemplating buying a pair of these boots, GET THEM! You will not be disappointed.
