I had the luxury of trying on these shoes at a DSW, and I'm glad I did because the sizing felt a good deal larger than marked. I typically wear and 8.5 or 9, and the 8's fit me pretty well. I like the desert boot style of the Clark's, and these are definitely look-alike's. Someone asked me the first day I wore them if they were Clark's. The suede is soft and supple and the sole is nice and spongy. Two Downsides 1) The stitching where the upper meets the sole feels a little thick and uncomfortable agaist the inside and outside of my foot. I'm hoping this goes away after some breaking in period. 2) Not as significant, but still noteworthy, I feel like the rubber sole builds up a lot of static electricity. In the dry winter months I feel like I shock myself 3-4 times a day while wearing them, which didn't happen with other shoes. Still recommended.

Light weight, comfortable, and stylish, not to mention, inexpensive. I love. I will probably get a second pair.

These shoes were perfect! The only quibble I could make is they aren't as thick as I would like. But I am extremely satisfied.

Love these shoes - they were exactly what I wanted and fitted a big void in my shoe inventory. Thanks Zappos!

First of all these shoes look reckless! The olive against the green laces don't really match! But they do look great on your feet! If you're flat footed get gelling, cause you'll be yelling after your first 10 min walk in them. But for imitation Clarks they break in real nicely and pass for the real deal. Great buy. Thanks Zappos

Very comfortable shoes! They look great with a pair of jeans. Not too dressy but classy looking. I'll be buying another pair very soon. They fit true to size too.

The actual shoe color is different than the picture. Picture shows more of a taupe color but actual color is more like beige.

I have wide-ish size 13 feet and ordered these shoes in 13. At first they felt a little narrow where my foot bends but they only took a day or two to break in. The inside is essentially flat, so like another reviewer said you might want custom inserts if arch support is a concern. Mine feel fine as-is. Considering most other desert/chukka boots in this style cost quite a bit more, these are a great price even with the added cost of inserts.

I've had these for about a month now, and they've held up really well. The color is really accurate, and they go really well with anything. Love to wear them with a dark blue pair of skinnies, a contrasting undershirt, and a nice flannel. Great for city walking too, but definitely buy some insoles.

Shoes are very comfortable and nice looking. The soles, however, are a VERY soft "gum" rubber and will wear out quickly.

Really good looking shoe. Especially for the price or so. But as others have mentioned, there is zero foot or arch support. So the comfort is so so. But, again, the cost. I put a Dr. Scholles insole in them and they might be the most comfy shoes I own.

Ignore my comfort rating, as these shoes are definitely a full size too small and I never got to wear them. One note that I would make is that they don't have the "low slung" and structure-less look of a traditional desert boot, but rather have a somewhat rigid rounded toe box that feels more like wearing a pair of Bass nubucks.

I wear a 13 and it was tight, at least one size to small. Toe narrows to much at the tip of shoe. Arch support terrible. Quality 5 out of 10.

I purchased these boots from a discount department store for a little less. They look really nice with jeans or corduroy pants. There isn't much arch support, but are comfortable enough that they can be worn for an evening out. The soles, however, have a very strong smell. I've had them for a couple of months now, and the smell has yet to go away. I would not wear them on a first date or if you know you're going to be in a setting where you're going to be seated around people for an extended amount of time. Unless, you'd like to tell them upfront: "That weird smell? Yeah, that's my shoes."

I bought this for my son. he's 13 9.5 shoe size. The shoes are perfect for him, not too fancy that he looks "old" but fancy enough he can wear when out with the family and dressier attire.
In real life they are a more dark grey/hunter greenish color, not brown for sure. It stills works. they are very comfortable as per his saying. He has not to wide feet but definitely not narrow feet, fits well.
For a men I think this would look great for every day wear in jeans, khakis, chinos etc.

Found a pair similar to this at a antique store that are brown. They just happened to be my size so I got them and love them. Searched for ones that were similar and found these to go with all my dark colors. Just a good find.

Look great, comfortable and true to size and color as seen on Zappos. They look especially good with dark jeans. My size is between 8 - 8 1/2, the 8 fit perfect. Will probably buy the black ones too.

These boots look great and were a great price on Zappos! My husband can use them for a casual outfit or they also were great for a business casual look. The quality is great - you won't be disappointed!

Pretty much a replica of Clarks Desert Boot. For the price, these can't be beat. I got the navy ones, which I really liked. I usually wear size 10.5 and in some cases size 10. I had to get these in 9.5. I was considering getting another color, but it looks like these may be discontinued as there's only two sizes and one color left.

I love these shoes! They are comfortable and stylish. Avoid wearing white socks because they will stain the bottoms of them but overall great shoes!

Love them! I'm a woman with a wider foot, and have wanted a pair of these for a long time. Clark's are just too expensive, and even the men's style of the Clark's felt a little narrow to me. Ordered these in a black size 7, as I take a size 9 in women's. They fit perfectly, and allowed me to put an arch support insert in them. Ordered another pair right away in another color. I gave them three starts for comfort as they have no arch support at all, but as I said, I put one in and now they are perfect. They are made well and look great! Very happy!

Amazing boot. Very comfortable with limited breaking in needed. My Reebok running shoes are 9 and I bought these in a size 8 and they fit perfectly. A great option for someone looking for a quality chukka and trying to stay under this price.

I ordered these on a lark to replace my 11 year old Chukkas. I ordered my regular 9½, but when they got here they were too small. I shipped them back for free, exchanging them for 10. Those came right in and fit perfectly. Zappos provided great service. These are great looking shoes for my jeans. Cool beans!

First of all, I was extremely impressed with the lighting fast shipping and delivery which I did not expect at all. I ordered my pair Wednesday morning, and got it Thursday afternoon. They fit perfectly well according to the size chart on which I based my measurement (my foot was 25.4 cm with socks so I ordered an 8. Fit perfectly fine). Same with the width, and I have pretty wide feet given my small size. The arch support overall is not terrible as some people mentioned here, but I agreed that there's not much support on the balls of the feet. So if you are gonna be standing for a long time in these shoes, just get some extra support insoles, you'll be fine last but not least, great style! Will shop here again!
