Our iconic Clarks Originals Desert Boots, made from light brown suede. Designed in 1949 by Nathan Clark, the Desert Boot was inspired by a crude boot from the Old Bazaar in Cairo. An instant hit, it became the go-to shoe for off-duty Army officers. Suede meets clean lines, an easy lace-up closure and our signature crepe sole.
