Women's Desert Boots, natural canvas - Modest and unassuming, our iconic women's Desert Boot has been given a fresh update in a natural canvas. Launched in 1950 by Nathan Clark, the original Clarks Desert Boot was inspired by a rough boot from Cairo's Old Bazaar. An instant hit it became the footwear of choice for off-duty army officers. Clean lines and an unfussy lace fastening has been teamed with our signature crepe sole.
