FAQs

How do I determine my UK size?

Refer to a standard UK sizing chart for men's footwear. The provided size 'UK 10' indicates the UK sizing standard.

Is the crepe sole durable?

The crepe sole is durable for normal wear but is a softer material than synthetic soles. It offers comfort and flexibility but may wear down faster with heavy use or on abrasive surfaces.

Can I wear these boots in the rain?

While the suede can be treated for water resistance, the Desert Boot is not designed for heavy rain. The suede can be easily stained by water, and the crepe sole may offer less grip on very wet surfaces.

What is the difference between this model and other Desert Boots?

This specific model is defined by its sand suede color, authentic crepe sole, and classic design, true to the original 1950s version. Variations might exist in different materials, sole types, or colorways across the Clarks Originals range.

How often should I clean my suede boots?

Regular brushing after each wear or weekly is recommended to maintain the suede's appearance. Deeper cleaning or treatment should be done as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or moisture.

Are these boots suitable for wide feet?

The Desert Boot generally has a medium fit. If you have particularly wide feet, it's advisable to try them on in person or check reviews regarding fit for wider foot shapes.

What do the 'Clarks fobs' signify?

The Clarks fobs are small tags attached to the laces, serving as a mark of authenticity to confirm that the boots are genuine Clarks Originals.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, try a suede eraser. Consider applying a suede protector spray.

Crepe sole feels sticky or attracts dirt

Wipe the sole with a slightly damp cloth. For stickiness, a light dusting of talcum powder can help absorb excess moisture and reduce tackiness.

Laces fraying

Replace the laces with standard boot laces of a similar length and material. Clarks Originals often uses waxed cotton laces.

Water stains on suede

Allow the boot to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, gently brush the suede to restore its texture. Pre-treating with a water-repellent spray can help prevent future stains.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Desert Boot requires no setup; simply lace them up to your preferred fit using the provided laces. Ensure the laces are tied securely but not overly tight to allow for foot comfort.

Compatibility: This boot is highly compatible with a wide range of apparel, including jeans, chinos, shorts, and smart trousers. It is designed for adult male wearers.

Care:

  • Suede Care: Use a suede brush regularly to remove surface dirt and to restore the nap of the suede. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be used. It is advisable to treat the suede with a protective spray to guard against water and stains, reapplying periodically.
  • Crepe Sole Care: Clean the crepe sole gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the natural rubber. If the sole becomes sticky, a light dusting of talcum powder can sometimes help.
  • Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box to protect them from dust and moisture. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight for extended periods.
