Full credit to long time reader and commenter Yakov for passing along the style tip for this one.
Not everyone loves the Clarks Desert Boot. To a lot of us (my hand is raised) the all suede upper and loose construction is just too reminiscent of slippers. But I’ve seen plenty of guys wear them, and they can absolutely look great. They’re just not everyone’s cup of tea.
They’re also an absolute classic. The casual shoe for the guy who just can’t bring himself to wear a pair of Jack Purcells or PF Flyers. Desert Boots are much more grown up, and now available for the same price as a cheap pair of sneakers. This is by far the lowest I’ve ever seen a pair of Clarks Desert Boots go for. Usually they bottom out on sale around $70.
Under $50 through Nordstrom with lots of common sizes available. Just the sand color is on sale.
Don’t like the sand color? You can get Grey via Endless for $65
