Clarks Desert Boots

[underwearer]

I wear whatever socks it doesnt matter...I think of them as sneakers really, I dont use a shoe tree just throw them in the closet and leave them in thier floppy glory

Snagged some beeswax and taupe suede at 50% from Banana Republic. Finally, something worth the employee discount

are desert boots appropriate to wear in a business casual work environment?

Hell NO!

Depends on what your workplace's "business casual" is. Most likely ok for it I would assume.

doubtfull...The suede could pass for bucks I suppose but the others look like timberlands to me..They are boots afterall

Unless yr boss wears them. Wanna get promoted, dress exactly like your boss. Learn to talk and walk like him or her too.

It's funny that you say that. My boss wears mostly Banana Republic clothes. Sure, he looks nice, but his look is kind of boring, almost predictable.

Get thee to Banana Republic, son!

If anybody has a pair of lightly used taupe suede in 9 or 9.5 to sell, I'm interested.

I actually don't see too huge a problem with wearing a desert boot in a business casual environment. As someone already mentioned, it does depend on your actual job. You may be able to slip them on without many people giving you a second glance but if everyone's staring at your feet...you might want to leave the boots at home.

Just because you can get away with wearing desert boots to work doesn't mean you should.

I know these aren't db's but stumbled upon these on yoox. Does anyone have any info on these, I've never seen them before.

No, but they're nothing I'd put too much energy into chasing down.

It's like cars... once someone invents a popular style, every manufacturer has to have their own version.

Anyway, I have a question.

I managed to try on some Clarks desert boots the other day, and Im actually wondering what all the fuss is about. They seemed ok, but the insole seemed rather "flat", and the boots themselves felt really thin and flimsy.

My opinion is that they're more a fashion item than something practical.

But.... I really like the appearance and style of this type of boot.

Are Clarks the best?
Or are they just good for the price?

Can anyone recommend something that seems more, erm, robust?

Would I be better looking at chukka boots, or are they the same thing?
