2015 marks the 65th Birthday of the iconic Clarks Originals Desert Boot. The first Clarks Originals Desert Boot went on sale in 1950, 1 full year after its debut at the Chicago shoe fair and changed the footwear scene forever. With over 10 million pairs of boots sold in over 100 countries since they first hit the shelves, the crepe soled boot has created a whole new dress casual footwear category. Designed by Nathan Clark and modeled on a shoe made in the Bazaars of Cairo for the British Eighth Army Officers, it has been adopted by generations of youth cultures, helping represent individuality and personality over the years.
The instantly recognisable Clarks Originals Desert boot has been updated and reworked for the new season. Constructed from a premium quality tumbled leather which gives the boot its distinctive overall finish, these are a great boot that will not look out of place on the city street. Over the years Clarks have mastered the simple understated design by using clean lines to produce timeless classic products that will never go out of fashion.
