I bought the Clarks Roar boots at a store in the mall and am very happy with the purchase.  I wanted something that could still be worn to work with khakis, but also be aggressive enough to wear out in the snow/bad weather.  The Roar's fit the bill exactly.  Lately, i've been wearing them when I ride my motorcycle and they've kept my feet warm and protected from the elements.  My only complaints about the boot are that they scuff fairly easily.  I purchased the weatherproofing glaze from the Clarks store which restores the leather to a nice sheen, however, after a day or two out, you'll notice a bunch of scuff marks.  Also, after two weeks of wearing them, a small chunk of the corner began to separate from the the heel.  I took it back to the store and was told that this is normal.  I didn't agree with the sales person and he said if it completely comes off, I could bring it back for an exchange.  A year later, the little corner still hasn't ripped off but it's still a distraction.  Overall, I still really like the shoe and would recommend it to other buyers.
