Brothel Creepers... ...is what I think the British soldiers call these because they are very quiet shoes; particularly in sand. I have worn Clark's desert boots in Algeria, Morocco, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia amongst other places and finally decided to get a dark brown pair. A friend of mine wears these on safari in Africa because they are so quiet he can creep up on the animals and take their picture or shoot them. Very easy to get on and off in the middle of the night when the bad guys are coming over the wall. Not a traditional hiking or combat boot so not good for load bearing but on an average day in the desert they are great. They don't overheat your feet and they are easily removed to pour out the sand. Great shoes that go with many occasions. Spray them with stain repellent first though.
