do you really need a desert boot in the desert?

I found this photo on pinterest somewhere. I decided I had to have these Clark's boots.

So I ordered them, and now I'm having second thoughts. They hurt a bit, but that is to be expected, right? They'll only get more comfortable with each wear, right? They don't look too masculine, right?

Help! Maybe I should just send them back. Afterall, summer is right around the corner. Will I really wear them? Would they work for our trip to Denmark in May?
