i could get them overseas but im afraid of the sizing. anyone know any outlets that stock on the desert boot? particularly in the beeswax colour.

certain clarks stores stock the desert boot...but imo they are not really for use in hot weather countries like malaysia...i had a pair and have had enough of them...the rubber crepe soles are like sponges that absorb dirt...and they melt when walking on hot roads..after a year have to replace the soles...

i just got these for myself from clarks MV: http://www.clarks.my/products/mens/smart-b...-hi-brown-snuff

i like the style of the desert boots except for the sole. i think this is much better

Any Clarks stores that have Clarks original would have it. Buy the leather ones as it is comfortable. I wore it for 6 straight days during my holidays abroad walking kilometres after kilometres , and they were as comfortable as they can be.

Hi Dar1en,

Go get em' at Clarks store that carry the ORIGINAL lines, which is mean only the large stores carry em'. The one I was suppose to purchase was in MidValley but instead could not wait and got a pair at the Men's Dept@ISETAN, 1U when the opened their shops (fresh stocks). Sizes are VERY limited as they bring in only a small quantity to Malaysia. After 2 months of wearing my boots, I finally got a call from MidValley CLARKS that the color + size I wanted was available. So prepare to wait. Or shop around some stores.

Fair warning: when researching about these boots, note that you need to get 1 size or 1/2 size smaller - it would be best to try one in the stores (which ever size that is available) so you can gauge which one fits. By then you can either choose to wait for stock or buy online!

As any leather boots, it take time for them to break-in. So prepare for some aching feet and get good thick socks (ended up grabbing some Timberland Wool socks during sales few weeks back).

Hope these tips help.........

Did they have beeswax leather color in stock? That's the only one I'm truly interested in. Also, pricewise how much did u pay?

Hi Dar1en,
I bought it for about RM360 I think.... and unfortunately, they seemed to carry extremely limited colors and size (and that point of time they had the beeswax color but again I stress, VERY limited size).

Best bet is to leave your name, number and size you are looking for (important !!! - go to shop to test the size!) and they will call u back.

Hope you get ur boots, cos they rock! (please wear good socks)

Bro,

where you replace the crepe sole for your clarks?
I'm find hard for it..
How much cost you the damage

those shoe/key repair shops in malls should be able to do it...i know sunway pyramid shoe repair shop does crepe soles (go down travelator in front of subway)....but then....i would recommend using more lasting materials

good info. main reason y i reluctant to get DB is bcoz the soles dun last. n like u said they melt in malaysian weather.

if one were to replace the worn out crepe soles, wat other options r there other than crepe ?

there are those ugly rubber soles or u can opt for foam i think....

damm those r real limited choice lol

they have a variety of heavy duty rubber soles...maybe leather soles....or else u can purchase your own soles from ebay or whatever and ask them to do it for you

Does anyone have any idea where I might be able to find boots that look like this?



Apparently these are Clarks boots, called the Desert Mali or something.

I am looking for boots that look similar to these, with a sole that isn't too thick, as I would like to be able to wear them to the office as well as stuff my jeans in them on the weekend. Something with a thinner sole than say Dr. Marten's 1460, but something that's taller and has more eyelets than a desert boot basically.

Any ideas? Something that I can find in KL and not have to order online.

Took a little walk around pertama complex, couldn't really find something to my liking, though I didn't walk long enough. Red wing iron ranger's look good but i'm sorta trying to find something below that price if it's possible.

Appreciate your help.
