ClarksMen's Desert London Oxford Shoe

These are great. They are my go-to office shoes for daily wear. I have a pair of Desert Trekkers and love them because of their crepe soles and how comfortable they are but I wanted that same sole and comfort in something a bit dressier. I bought the model with the beeswax brown leather uppers. They are still "casual" and look good with jeans or khakis but I've worn them with a pair of navy dress pants, dress shirt, and tie, and it made for a great combo as well. I threw a pair of Dr Scholl's gel insoles in them to increase the cushion from the already soft crepe sole and they're the perfect, most comfortable daily wear shoe I have. I went to a Clark's retail store to try a pair on before I ordered them and I recommend this. A lot of people said order a size or half size down but I actually had to go the other way and order a full size up from my normal shoe size, even without the insoles. All in all a great pair of shoes, I love them.

I bought the chukkas for casual use and loved them so much I needed a pair for the office. Here they are. I love the unstructured sole and full-grain leather that breaks in to fit my feet. I dissent from the complaints about tight fits -- I bought my usual size (11) and did not have a period of agony before the shoe molded to my feet. This was pretty much an out of the box, love at first sight shoe.

These shoes look great and are very comfortable. Looks great with jeans or khakis. I recommend wearing a thick pair of socks during the initial breaking in to avoid some soreness. Once broken in, you'll barely notice they're on your feet. They have great traction and are nearly silent on most floor surfaces.Yes, as other reviewer have stated, they run a bit large. I normally wear a 10(US) but, the 9.5 fits great.-- ConsThe crape soles show dirt easily and seem to wear out quickly.The beeswax leather scuffs easily; however, applying a light coat of beeswax after warming the leather has them looking almost new.

I ordered a half size smaller than usual and that was the right fit.Also, the leather starts stiff and breaks in fairly quickly (a couple of days of office wear for me). Don't plan on long walking days right out of the box.The finish on the leather shows any crease or mark, which is part of the design. It gives the shoe a worn, vintage look pretty quickly. Just don't expect a uniform brown leather, expect a weathered surface.The crepe sole is pretty sticky (will pick up debris light debris) and will turn black on the bottom rim. It adds to the worn-in look.

I've always loved the look of the desert boot but they KILLED my feet. I thought I'd give these a try. These shoes arrive a little stiff and there isn't much to them. I wasn't sure how I felt about them when I first put them on and they take a couple days to break in. But once broken in, they're awesome. First of all, they look amazing with any attire. Shoes can make the biggest difference when you're in casual clothes. If you're wearing a sweater, jeans, and tennis shoes, you can look like a slob. But substitute these for the tennis shoes and you suddenly look classy. I've received numerous compliments since I started wearing them and will definitely be purchasing more pairs in the future. I usually wear 8.5 in Clarks but the 9's were perfect. Highly recommended!

I bought these shoes because I thought the mark is good. and unfortunately I didn't use it in the first month and the time of returning was passed. this shoe is not comfortable, the color changed and after 3 days all the bottom of the shoe changed to black color that was not cleanable due to bad materials that were used. the quality is bad and not comfortable. don't waste a lot of money for this garbage.

I've had these shoes for almost five years, I wear them regularly and they are still holding up very well. They are very comfortable and I wear them with casual clothes. I recently went on a three week trip to Europe and this was the only shoe that I used in the whole trip, walking everyday many miles and at the end of the day my feet did not feel sore. The only negative is that they are not waterproof and they can be very slipery on wet smooth surfaces.

Comfortable. Seems well made. Bit stiff at first but breaks in within a few days. Several reviews mention ordering 1/2 size smaller. I wear a 12, and ordered a 12. It's roomy, but if it were any smaller, my pinky toe would be cramped.
