Yeah, lots of companies copy Clarks, or base designs on them at least — but that’s mostly just because Clarks has been around for a very long time, and a lot of their styles are decades old. It’s sort of the same way that a lot of dress shoe companies happen to have wingtips and captoes.

Hm. I have a pair of Geox-branded shoes that are _identical_ to the Clark shoes in image #2. Anyways, I like all but #2. For you. :-)

Desert boots are coming back this year for sure. Picked up a pair of brown leatehr ones similar to your number 2 at Roots this month.

The boots, mendel… #3 all the way! (Says the guy who has been wearing full-size western/cowboy boots for, oh, maybe 10 or 12 years now.)

Since I’m clearly the one who sticks to the fashion trends when it comes to footwear (see handle and/or avatar), my vote would be (in order of preference) 2, 4 or 1. Not really into the bootsy thing.

Funny, how we’re different in terms of our priorities on this. My wife watches the fashion shows on TLC (What Not To Wear, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, etc..), and the more I watch those, the more I’d rather send the statement ‘I don’t care’. This is probably why I let my wife decide what I should wear – she gets vetoed on the footwear though. :-)

I like 1 and 2 best, 2 better. But i don’t know that much about fashion and really, I’m a girl, not a boy. But I’d pick 2 for myself. looks the most comfortable

I love them! I'm just not sure I love them with my jeans. They're pretty pointy and the sole's pretty thin. The two Bronx ones almost have commando soles and a toe box like parade boots.

Ben Sherman toe:		Bronx toe:

Ben Sherman sole:		Bronx sole:

See? I'm just not sure it's the right scale for jeans.

For what it’s worth, I think I like the Ben Sherman’s best.

Of course, this is coming from the girl who was drooling over Prada boots the other night, so ….
