I really like these boots.  My first pair ran big, my second pair in a different color was a little small.
Again, as long a Clarks has been at it and as pricey as their shoes are you'd thing the sizing would be more "on".  The color desert taupe is a little deceptive but I am at a loss to describe the color.  Also, note the pre-dirty sole.  I prefer the clean one.  These boots really do need an insert for comfort.  Another thing Clarks ought to have down but don't.
