Fifty miles or 110,943 steps across three countries is where these boots took me. I recently took a trip to the Czech Republic, Austria and Hungary. I wanted to pack light and that meant only bringing one pair of shoes with me. I know, for some of us ladies this can seem like an impossible task. Having visited Europe two years prior I learned the importance of selecting the right shoes. I know you’ve heard the expression, I left a piece of me in <insert location.> However, that story is true. I literally left pieces of my feet all over Italy and France and I have the bloody shoes to prove it! So this time around I did my research and selected these boots which were fantastic, not to mention pretty darn cute with jeans.

I know what you’re thinking, and yes I climbed up the monument. However, I have a perfectly logical explanation. Everybody else was doing it…

So, who makes these magical boots that kept my feet intact despite all that walking? Elves. That’s right, Elf cobblers who happen to work for Clarks.

I highly recommend these Desert Boots for walking. They were great for getting around the cities and the cobblestones didn’t slow me down one bit! But don’t forget, as with all leather shoes, you need to take care of that precious leather and condition them!
