ClarksMen's Desert London Oxford Shoe

Perfect Daily Wear Shoes
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.

Excellent shoe, extremely comforrtable
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.

Great casual 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.

Simple, Elegant, Classic.
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!

Perfect, like the chukkas, but a bit better for the office
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.

The shoe is too tight, very uncomfortable, cannot even walk without feeling pain at my feet and toes

GREAT SHOE!
This are the most comfortable shoes I've bought in years! The first time I wore them, they felt like they'd been broken in for years. I have a fairly narrow foot, but just popping in a Dr. Scholl "in-sole" into each shoe made them perfect. They're constructed quite nicely and I love the style...fairly dressy, but certainly not formal. These will a lot of use! Think I'll get another pair in a different color....

Stands the Test of Time: Can never go wrong sticking with a classic Clarks !
Classic Clark's shoe from throwback era....crepe sole, bees wax leather upper. What's not to like in a classic where the fit is true and quality as expected from Clark's ?
