IN REVIEW

🥾 Wolverine 1000 Mile Review: 6+ Years Later

The Clarks brand has been around since 1825, believe it or not. Since its inception, their desert boot has become a men’s style stalwart, but the question is whether or not the iconic Clarks Desert Boot truly stands the test of time.

​Review: Clarks Originals Desert Boot (7+ Years Later)​

In this comprehensive, long-term Clarks Desert Boot review, I’m going to go over the history of Clarks, explain the difference between chukkas and desert boots, delve into the style & design, the quality & craftsmanship, comfort & durability and shoe sizing & price.

Furthermore, I’ll get into the pros & cons, most importantly how they’ve held up over the past 7+ years, and finally wrap things up with my desert/chukka boot recommendations and whether or not I think they’re worth it.

Here's 33 ways to improve your life, Japanese style – courtesy of Mr. Porter:

Tokyo is a city of extremes. The beating heart of Japan – at least since it took over from Kyoto as the country’s capital in 1868 – it is now the largest metropolis in the world, a forest of glassy skyscrapers, inner-city temples and hidden ramen shops, not to mention some of the best menswear on the planet.

A short walk around Shibuya will leave even the most style-conscious man from elsewhere feeling entirely underdressed.

Still, to the uninitiated, Tokyo – and by extension Japan as a whole – can be an inscrutable place.

How do so many people live on top of each other? Why is the food so good? And why are people so well-dressed?

Here, a few of our favourite Japanese experts (and experts on Japan) divulge a few ideas on what we can learn from life in the Japanese capital, and beyond.
