Definitely agree! The chukka doesn’t get nearly enough love. Ever since I bought some, I’ve become hooked and wear them a TON! 👍🏻

Just saw the movie " 1917 " for the second time. I don't think I can ever listen to Ben again without thinking of those two characters ( the young soldiers ). He looks and sounds so much like them. What a stunning movie that was. h, and I love the boots. Cheers.

@@3pIcenTer These are Chukka Boots, Desert boots are suede I believe. In the 70's I had to go to the Clarkes in Bristol I think it was to pick the order the Army placed for our unit to go to Kenya. All Suede Sand colour. Only wore them when returning from Patrols, but brilliant footwear for going to the nearest town an hour away for the ladies. 17shillings a pair then

@sceneryj 4 года назад

You should check out South African "veldskoene" aka. "vellies". Similar style, as originally worn by the boers back in the day. There are several brands online, but the best would probably be to buy from an authentic, small town home industry shop.

@jamesturner2914 4 года назад

Bought the beeswax ones 2 weeks ago If you are going to purchase make sure to wear them around the house before venturing out for more serious walking, wear thicker socks or double up - they can be quite sore first time due to the harder leather - when they have softened and moulded to your feet they're the most comfortable shoes you'll own ( I live in Lancashire and we had lots of snow today and they performed fine ) A top top pair of boots !

@julzmax956 4 года назад

I have the same boot, they are great and they fit me perfect. I also have the cheaper alternative in a red brown leather, I believe it's the bushacre 2 model. Both have lasted me over 3 years and look nice but I do clean and polish them and when i'm not using them I use a shoe trees to keep them straight.

The Desert Boot 2.0 addressed the complaint about the crepe sole sucking up dirt and turning black. They introduced a less porous rubber sole that seems to repel dirt and grime and remain as good as their first wear.

@katherineandini5962 4 года назад

Found a suede version of these boots at monthly fleamarket here in Amsterdam, for just 10€. Looking a bit worn, but all the stitches & soles were intact. Really enjoyed it during (non-rainy) spring & summer days. Perhaps I‘ll replace my leather boots with a pair of Clarks Originals when it wears out!

@robertdavis1783 4 года назад

Bought a pair of desert boots in beeswax over 2 years ago, and they have always been in rotation. One of the most flexible shoes to dress up a casual fit or dress down more formal attire. However, my laces definitely did not hold up as well as yours; both snapped a few months ago. However, mine were not leather but rather a thinner fabric material. Did a great job at never coming untied, but definitely not meant to last. The rest of it still looks and feels great though.

@Drownedinblood 4 года назад

They already have, I think I saw a pair of vintage ones with rough put leather, not thin suede like now. It was interesting the sole felt heavier too.

@ndk4 4 года назад

Dear ben, i have exactly the same hairline as yours, even similar type and parting location. My only problem is my crown area, they are slightly thinner than yours. Do you have any tips to combat them? So far many people only handed out tips on front and side hair, but rarely the back, which is far more tricky

@Eralen00 3 года назад

How long do these take to break in?? I got these as a gift but they're extremely stiff and uncomfortable. The size is good, they just feel hard and inflexible. The sole is rather hard too. I've avoided wearing them because they hurt my feet. They don't chafe that badly but the shape is awkward for my feet, and it hurts my actual bones when I take them off.

I just happened to order my first Clarks Desert Original boots yesterday. Can’t wait to wear them. They’ve been widely out of stock in Australia for some time. I’ve got the Made In Vietnam sand suede though so not sure if the longevity is like. Australian Clarks doesn’t seem to have the more premium Original Desert boots

@Aggnog 4 года назад

I own several pairs of various clarks shoes and I have to say the quality varies greatly. The desert boots are their signature so it might be really well made, but a lot of their shoes are really not that good.

Pretty much nothing is worth it from Clarks except for the Desert Boots and Wallabees. Those are both easily worth the money.

I purchased Clarks shoes around 4 years ago. In fact, they appear to be brand new but noticed the sole just came off. I contacted WALK ON A CLOUD where I originally purchased the shoes and was told to contact CLARKS CANADA. I contacted Clarks but they couldn't care less. "Good day ......., Thank you for taking the time to contact us. I'm sorry to learn of your disappointment with your shoes. If the shoes are deemed defective within 6 months, we will offer a refund or replacement. After this time, we are not able to assist with such queries. Thank you again for taking the time to contact us. On behalf of Clarks, please accept my apologies for any inconvenience caused. We here at Clarks wish you a wonderful day. Kind regards, Sabeegah" Unfortunately, they do not stand behind their product thus tarnishing a once solid company's reputation.

I find these boots to be extremely uncomfortable. But I have a wide toebox and narrow heel that prefers the Munson last. A pair of whites or nicks boots feel better. The clarks boots have near nothing when it comes to arch support and the toebox tapers in too greatly to be anywhere close to comfortable.
