The Clarks Newby Jump is a rugged looking chukka boot. It feels like a more secure and dressier desert boot when walking.
The sizing as expected for Clarks runs large so ignore the equivalent sizing chart at the bottom of the Clarks package box.
I normally take an EU 42, American 9 or UK 8 in most footwear brands but in Clarks I was able to go down half a size to American 8 1/2 and find its perfectly sized as Clarks are very roomy in fit!
There are two things to note about these particular boots they come with an extra set of laces included and one might have to unlace the top eyelet on the boots to get feet in the boots but they feel immediately comfortable thanks to the Clarks removable insole.
Highly recommended as a companion to Clarks versatile classic Desert Boots and with the hard-wearing rubber outsole, one can wear them in wet weather!

Most of the year, I wear Clarks' Desert Boots, but for the winter, I wanted a more substantial boot that I could wear in wet or snowy conditions. Now, I am already a big fan of Clarks shoes and boots and own 5 pairs. It did't take me very long to find the Newby Jump, which is the latest addition to my Clarks collection. After owning this boot for only 3 days, it has already blown me away! The boots were very comfortable right out of the box and provide quite a bit of support for your feet. Compared to the Desert Boot, it feels more like a hiking boot than casual foot wear, which is exactly what I was looking for. I have to admit, though, that I was very hesitant at first to go with the Newby Jump, because I typically choose Clarks' "Beeswax Leather", and I love the look, feel, and durability that this material offers. Now, the Newby Jump only comes in "Cognac" or "Brown" leather, and upon much consideration, I decided to go with the cognac leather. I used a combination of mink oil and brown shoe polish to darken the leather (my personal preference), and I now absolutely love this boot!
I have not tried it out in snow, but I am traveling to Germany for two weeks over Christmas, which will most likely provide me that opportunity. For any questions, please comment on this review, and I will do my best to answer them. Thanks for reading.
