Fit depth guide

Desert Boot is a crepe-sole chukka with a more conventional last than Clarks Wallabee.

Conditional: (1) Know your Clarks UK size → TTS. (2) Between UK sizes → half down if you want less toe room after leather softens; half up for daily thick socks. (3) Coming from roomy sneakers → try TTS before automatic half-down.

Versus Wallabee: Wallabee’s moccasin last is roomier — do not copy Desert Boot between-size habits onto Wallabee. Leather softens over days; day-one snugness is not the final fit.
