Customer Reviews Clarks Desert Trek

I really love this shoe, I think I have worn this shoe since the mid 70s. If you find they are uncomfortable to break in, I would recommend using a shoe tree, the stretching kind. I put them in the shoes as soon as I get them and leave them in for two days and presto shoes that are broken in. I know what people mean when they say as your foot flexes, this shoe creases on the top and it can be painful, using the shoe stretcher resolves that. Also, if you need arch support, try "SuperFeet" orthotics. I have used them in these shoes and thought they fit well. Anyway, I love that Zappos carries my favorite shoes, Desert Treks and Wallabees.

I love these boots - these were a replacement for some I'd worn through. I tend to prefer shoes with a wide toe box and these provide! A few wears are required to soften them up but once they are they're my go-to comfort shoes for all day wear.

Great Classic Shoe - Shoe is just what I expected. My only "complaint" is that the light colored sole makes it more casual than it has to be and it gets dirty quickly so that diminishes the look all the more. But this really is pretty minor and I really like the shoes.

Wore them for the whole day around the house and out. They're super comfortable. It took very little time for me to break them in. Love how quiet the soles are when walking on hard surfaces. The soles are also well cushioned. Love these...next to my running shoes these will probably be my everyday shoes. I wear a true 8 and the 8 fits great.

I love these shoes. They are incredibly comfy. I feel very &"stealth" like when I wear them, because the are noiseless!

Clarks are not only comfortable but probably the most stylish shoe I've ever seen on men/boys, and women, too! I actually bought this pair for my son because they are unisex and not available in big boy sizes. Everyone in our family has this shoe and they last for years. The waxed leather is particularly nice. Got my first pair of Clarks in London and have been hooked ever since. High quality and highly recommended!

These are so classic and comfortable. They go from casual to business casual very easily.

Huge! I have wide feet so I appreciated the wider fit, but they were also incredibly long.

These are great shoes, comfort, quality and style. Great with jeans or khaki's! Great if your feet are wider or you have a bunion on a foot like I do from wearing pointy shoes in my youth.

Good quality leather shoes. Break in was easy. No arch support. They run a little tight across the top of the foot. The sole has great grip.

I love these shoes! What's so awesome about them is that they're so quiet! Seriously, when walking, you don't hear a thing. Unless, of course, you walk through water or snow...then you hear squeakiness. I love the style. I always feel B.A. when I wear them. Ready to take charge and own it. Feels great! Nice and comfy.

One of my new favorites. These are super comfortable, and they look great. Can be casual, or more trendy, depending on what you wear. I wore them to work, spent the whole 8 hour shift on my feet, and no soreness at all.

These shoes are classic in the sense that they never go out of style. Because they\'re made of good, substantial leather, they will last for years! It is important to say, though, that at first, the leather is a little stiff, but with a couple of wearings the leather softens up. The crepe sole is wonderful for it\'s cushioning ability, making it a perfect shoe if you\'re on your feet all day. This is just a great, basic shoe and they look especially great with jeans.

Great shoe. Fits perfectly as soon as you put your foot in it the first time. Will last forever. Well worth the money, especially if you can find it on sale. Enjoy! JCB in Houston, TX.

Comfort and Style - These shoes are great! The crepe sole is extremely comfortable and flexible. They grip well to the tile floors in our middle school where I work. I wore them all day just after receiving them for a Christmas gift and did not experience any discomfort or foot fatigue.

Awesome shoes-Here's the trick to breaking them in! Alright, before I bought this shoe I read all of the reviews and I found that the biggest complaint was breaking them in. After years of figure skating and softball playing I've learned how to "bake" leather so I didn't have bleeding ankles. This method also works great for breaking in stiff shoes. All you need is a hair dryer and a blunt object that fits in the shoe. You heat the part of the shoe that is uncomfortable until the wax starts to melt a bit, then you use a hard, blunt object (I use a shot glass for shoes) to stretch out the leather from the inside. Keep moving the object around, don't just put it in the shoe and leave it there. I usually spend about 2 hours doing this while watching TV. Continue trying on the shoes to see what a difference you are making. It's pretty fail proof!!! Good luck and don't let anything keep you from the cool look of your new Clarks!

Great shoes - The shoes were great. I got them two years in a row for school and I found them worth the price. The shoes may begin to bend in the front if you buy it too big, but we found a way to fix that. We stuff the front of the shoes with cardboard and paper (having enough room for our toes). Therefore they don’t bend and leave a fold in the front of the shoes making it beautiful all year long. Thanks for the great shoes!!!

Left foot good, right foot pain! I don't know if it's my right foot or it's the right shoe, but I've been wearing these for a week straight (taking them off at night :) ) and the left shoe fits perfectly, but the right one cuts into my foot with every step (right where the shoe bends) I don't know what to do. Can I get a different right shoe? (Or a foot...)

Vacation comfort - Sightseeing & shopping : I was on my feet everyday for 6 - 12 hours a day for 2 weeks and my feet felt FANTASTIC! These shoes are even more comfortable than Converse (which sometimes hurt the ball of my foot). For the first time ever while on vacation I experienced no foot pain, no blisters, no intense burning sensation at the end of the day *** NO DISCOMFORT, NOT EVEN A LITTLE!***. I also noticed that despite the 90 degree humid weather, my feet still felt cool and dry. The secret has got to be the crepe sole.

Love 'em - These shoes are so comfortable and didn't need any "break in " time at all. The color and texture of the leather is great and the first day I wore them without socks and they never hurt my feet or gave me a blister. I tried the "Wallabee " version but these were more comfortable for my wide wearing feet.

Best shoe ever! I go a private school and we have to wear uniforms and "nice" shoes. just about 7 out 10 wear Clarks, they are the best shoes ever. extremely comfortable and nice on the eye. I wear them everyday and they still look brand new. I highly recommend them to anybody, they are an all around good shoe!

I love these shoes - I have been wearing these shoes almost every day in the month since they arrived. I love them. They are comfortable. They are wearing well. I am a college professor, so I am on my feet a lot. No problem with these. I got them as a replacement for my J Seibels and now Clarks has a new customer for life! The leather is substantial. These will last me.

These just look so cool - And they are also EXTREMELY comfortable! I know that Clark’s cost some dough, considering they are not glamorous or have expensive soles, but they look GREAT, the leather is high quality (though you should always have shoe conditioner to clean them off for they scuff quite easily) and they are LONG LASTING. Trust me. You’ll have these for years and years.

I love these!!! I absolutely love these shoes - very comfortable from the get go! They have become my new favorite pair of shoes and I've received several compliments on them! They have an "old school" look to them!
