5 STAR SHOES (IF YOU CAN HANDLE A LITTLE EXTRA INITIAL WORK)
here's the thing, these are my absolute favorite shoes. but the sizing isn't always consistent. I ordered the exact same pair, same size and color, and it was smaller than usual. I suggest trying them on in a store.the other thing is, get these originals with the gum rubber sole. they are TEN TIMES better than the cheaper version they call "bushacre" you might see at a discount price. trust me. they last longer and are much more comfortable. worth the extra cost.the soles are pretty flat. my feet need good arch support. i bought some ten dollar dr school's arch support cushions and BOOM--they feel perfect. I have to get half a size larger to make sure they fit with the arch supports.my final note is that the 4 lace holes aren't enough for me. i like to be able to lace a little higher so my foot doesn't slide around too much inside the shoe. you can go to a shoe repair cobbler place and they can do that--grommets and all--for not very much money.i know these are a lot of caveats for a shoe i rated 5 star but hear me out: after all these conditions were met, these have become my absolute FAVORITE shoes. i wear them almost every day. they match with 90% of my outfits. they look great, feel great, and like a good pair of jeans, they get better with age.as long as they keep making them in this style and color and I can find the size that fits right, i will probably keep buying them whenever i need to, forever.

Superb quality, nice looking, and comfortable fitting shoe
I've always loved Clarks shoes, particularly the Chukka boot. Always a good fit, looks fantastic with jeans, and is comfortable right out of the box. They weather incredibly well and always looks better as they weather and age. Buy at least one pair every year. Excellent for work or casual settings. Solid shoe.

Comfort - great shoe if you aren't walking too much
RE: Clarks Men's Desert Chukka Boot,Brown Tumbled...First off - size. I read the reviews and bought a 1/2 smaller. Fit perfectly. There is something to buying a 1/2 size smaller. I can't remember ever having a size 10 fit me.Comfort - great shoe if you aren't walking too much. First thing I did with them was walk the dog. They feel very much like a little bit wide dress shoe. They are comfortable, but they don't seem to have much support. That said, maybe the dress shoe reference isn't fair in that I have had Rockports that I feel I could hike the Appalachian trail with - so maybe I should just say they aren't the most supportive shoes out there. Thick socks will be no problem.Looks - for real, they look great. I am sure the gum rubber on the bottom will become dark and soiled in no time - that's cool - these are for wearing with jeans. Were that to never happen, I would have no problem pairing them with slacks. We'll see.Glad I got em.

Attractive footwear
Comfortable, so soft and attractive. I went into the doctors office and the first thing the mail nurse said was “I like your shoes” I felt so complimented. They’re ideal for most occasions ♥️♥️♥️

Just what I expected, quite pleased.
Good quality leather. Genuine natural rubber sole...quite comfortable after walking a whole day in these (I'm flat-footed and wide-footed.) I already had a pair of these in brown but these are slightly higher in build quality.

Incorrect Sole
The Clark’s Chukka Boot is very stylish and I have owned multiple pairs over the last 15 years. However, there are two different “versions” of the shoe when it comes to the sole.The original shoe has the crepe sole, which is much lighter in color (the traditional sole that many Clark’s shoes are known for having). The other version has a harder, darker, rubber sole.The difference in the look is very subtle, but the difference in the comfort is dramatic. The crepe sole is much more comfortable to wear all day long.For this reason, the crepe sole typically retails around $150, while the hard, rubber sole can be found for $50-60.Having owned both types, I’m willing to pay more for the comfort of the crepe sole. My purchase was advertised at the crepe sole and was $150. As you can see from the picture, I received the hard, rubber sole.I’m sure it was an honest mistake in sorting, but this is not the product I paid for and I will be returning to purchase the Chukka with the crepe sole.
