Excellent boot, July 18, 2008
This review is from: Clarks Men's Ash Gore-Tex® Boot (Apparel)
I owned a black pair of these boots, and liked them so much that I bought an additional brown pair.
The first thing to know about the Clarks brand is that they are between half a size and a size too large. If you are a size 12 normally, you will likely be most comfortable in a size 11 boot.
The black boots in particular look fantastic. I have been complimented on how nice they look by people who assumed they were dress shoes. The boots take cream polish well, but it does not stay on for long because the leather is soft. The brown boots in particular need re-polishing if you want them to continue looking their best. But, of course, the boots are more than sufficient without polish. Thus, as a fashion item, the boots are great.
As normal boots, they perform as well as can be expected, but you will probably like them too much to risk damaging them. So, buy them because they look good yet are durable, rather than for rugged labor.

Great Clarks Boot, March 4, 2009
This is a great casual boot. The Clark's quality is there and there is a bonus...the sole is flat and won't track in all of the outdoors like a pineapple sole will. Great fit and looks great!

good but be aware of this, March 7, 2009
This review is from: Clarks Men's Ash Gore-Tex® Boot (Apparel)
As others stated and from my long life experience with Clarks products, this has all the high qualities you would expect from such reputable brand so I'll move straight to the "con".
I usually wear 10.5-11 and based on what an earlier poster suggested I purchased the 10.5
After 2 weeks of wearing it, I started to have quite a bit of pain on both lateral (outside part) sides of my ankles where even light touch to the area was painful. I quit using the boots and the pain went away within a week. I tried it again and the pain came back. Even though the friction while wearing the boots isn't intense enough to be a bother, it's clearly enough to cause long lasting effect. This is very unfortunate as I was really counting on it for more frequent use. Now it has moved to the side of the shoe rack for the occasional use when it's a must that I have boots (like mud or snow) and for only a brief time. I tried size 11 at the store and it felt too big. Hope my experience is unique and that others are enjoying it better. Would love to hear your experience and if I know for sure this won't happen with a larger size (which I doubt since it's only the top of the boots that is a bother), then I'm willing to buy another one.
