Earlier this year my dad suggested trying desert boots while we were at the Bass store.  I've come to realize that my dad has some legit style and that fashion is cyclical - he wore this style of shoe when he came to America back in the late 70's as a teenager!  I wanted to buy a new pair of desert boots and read that Clarks were the original.  After debating between the beeswax and taupe colors, I went with beeswax.  The shoes came promptly but had some scuffs out of the box - it's ok, it looks pretty cool.  I will end up using some brown leather polish and then waterproof them with beeswax soon but couldn't wait to wear them.  It seems like I could use a gel insole but otherwise, the shoe is super comfortable and looks awesome.  I got several compliments on them last night.  Very happy with these!
