I have only been wearing desert boots for the past two years, and I love the feel and grip of these desert boots the best. The hardened beeswax leather like shell repels light rain and moisture, and the seams secure fast to the sole so that I never have to worry about dislocating the boot and bringing it to a shoemaker.

I wear these every day in all climates. My only real gripe with them is that the first thing to go are the laces. While you can get away with not having to tie them each time, the laces last a small fraction less then the rest of the boot will. This bothers me because replacement laces are supposed to come free after calling Clark's toll free number and requesting them. I have requested them three times and have yet to see a pair of replacement laces. Their stores don't even carry them. While the boot is solid and good, the lace situation could improve.
