The Clarks Desert Boot is an extremely popular style emerging lately, and the hype is warranted. The shoe is both classy and casual and could easily be used for daily wear or dressed up for a night out.

Though much has been said for the shoe's comfort, it's certainly not as comfortable as a pair of Nike Roshe Runs, Nike Air Currents, or Nike Kukini Frees, but those are top of the line sneakers where comfort is a priority. The Clarks rank 4th behind those three sneakers in terms of comfort, and that's quite an accomplishment considering the variety of sneakers I own. Certainly, the Clarks style allows them to be worn in situations where the other shoes wouldn't be appropriate, making them an important addition to one's wardrobe.

The famous crepe sole is crucial to the shoe's level of comfort, giving an interesting bounce to your step and offering a sort of support beyond the relatively standard insole.

The Beeswax color is a fantastic shade and is a nice alternative to suede that seems more formal.

A word of advice: the leather does bend through normal wear, so the use of a shoe-tree to maintain the boot's shape is a worthwhile investment for the shoes when they're not in use.
