The same can be said about Bushacre 3 as well, however, it has a sturdier material which can be more durable in the long run. The Desert boot is available in leather and suede, whichever you prefer. One question that’s often asked is whether the boot is made of genuine leather or synthetic—Clarks claim to use only real leather. There is no secret with this boot that comfort is key. The box and tags are adorned with branding for the “Extreme Comfort System” and even the midsole has been rebranded as the “Comfort Chassis.” If you’re used to pricy Goodyear welted boots constructed with layer after layer of vegetable tanned leather, you might find the foam unstable underfoot. Utilitarian combat boots are worn as military uniform workwear and are designed to cope with a rugged environment. However, variations of this boot can also cross over to casual wear. Men's desert boots and leather lace ups in plain brown leather uppers or with brogue details are all popular on trend styles of men's boots.

Both leathers are fairly water resistant because of their high level of conditioning. While the leather is water resistant, neither of these boots will do you much good in a rainstorm. Many brands make desert boot-style footwear. However, it was first designed by Clarks. Nathan Clark was stationed in Burma along with the British Army during World War II, he was inspired by the shoes off-duty officers wore. There’s a lot of heel slip for this style of boot. Because there are just the two eyelets, your foot won’t feel super secure right away. But if the width is good and the boot fits in the toe, your heel will sink in as the leather forms around your foot and that heel slip should go away. Break-in Period When it comes to chukka boots, the leading brand, Clarks, has styles such as the Bushacre and the classic Desert boot. Although the two look similar, there are key distinctions that set them apart—these will also tell you whether or not the footwear fits your lifestyle.

Men's Boots

A style straight out of Southwest America men's cowboy boots are easily pulled on and off and traditionally made of soft leather. Authentic cowboy boots should come up to at least mid-calf and have a classic Cuban heel for added height. However, many contemporary styles are seen as more 'cowboy inspired' ankle boots in lower heel heights. On the move Considering the price, this sole is decent. I’m not blown away by it, but it’s definitely durable enough to last for a year and a half to two years of consistent wear.

I recommend getting a different leather if you’re considering the Bushacre 2 for the office (Clarks suede options are a solid bet).
