These boots, once I saw them, I had to have. As a man that loves unusual shoes these were the perfect choice. To discover that they are authentic Clarks Desert Boots was an added bonus. I have received multiple compliments from both men and women. The fit is perfect and very comfortable. The only thing to keep in mind is if you are ordering them from Canada the sizing is in UK sizing and you should order a size smaller. I normally wear a size 8 cdn and the size 7 uk fit perfectly. Fantastic shoe.
