I had been looking for years for a pair of desert boots. In my youth in the 60's they were quite common and I wore out more than few pairs. So I was thrilled to find them available through Clark's.

These are the classic desert boot, identical to those available in the past. I guess they've always been available, just hard to find in stores. They took a little while to break in, but now are extremely comfortable. I get comments on them all the time.

My only suggestion would be to go to a red vibram sole instead of the crepe. I had a pair like that, also with bigger brass eyelets, but they were not made by Clark's (don't know who made them and have not been able to locate a similar pair). The light colored crepe absorbs the dirt and grime so the soles always look black. Plus, crepe doesn't seem as durable as other sole materials.

Aside from that, I love the shoes and highly recommend them.
