Clarks Men's Desert Boot Bushacre 3 Chukka

Product Information

Replacing the crepe sole for a denser rubber sole makes these boots not only more durable, but gives them better traction on wet surfaces, as well as better water-resistance.

Because of this they only last me 8 months, although the leather upper seems like it could last three times as long. This is why we’re going to go over the crucial differences, so that you, the consumer can make the best choice according to your needs. The traction is also improved in the Bushacre 2, as rubber is naturally more grippy and less likely to slip and slide on wet surfaces. 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. Breathability is still somewhat of an issue, but the loose-fitting leather does let some air into the foot chamber.

The lack of padding and insole also contributes to the overall weight of the shoe, which is light on the feet, and will not cause fatigue or sore feet after use. They are undoubtedly comfy at first, owing almost entirely to what might be the thickest Ortholite (shock absorbing foam) insole ever fitted to footwear. This can be fixed by inserting some padded insoles, however, the sizing should be adjusted, to avoid the shoes being too tight. The “Originals” Desert Boot has some lovely antiqued brass eyelets and even thinner cinnamon brown laces. That, combined with the natural crepe rubber sole, was what separated the two models and made it “worth” the extra bucks, right?

Namely, the sole of the Bushacre 2 is not made of the same crepe material as the Desert Boots, but from a dense rubber, that still retains its flexibility, but will not get dirty as easily as the crepe, and will last longer.I recommend getting a different leather if you’re considering the Bushacre 2 for the office (Clarks suede options are a solid bet). The Bushacre 2 comes in many sizes, however, when it comes to widths, it is on the narrow to medium end of the spectrum. The soft crepe sole of the original Clarks Desert Boot sucks up dirt and water like nobody’s business.

Because the sole is so durable and the leather upper is richly packed with oils and waxes, you’ll get great mileage from these boots, even though you won't be able to resole them.The leather being more durable and water-resistant, people tend to opt for the Bushacre 2, rather than the Desert Boots. The upper is made of smooth leather, which looks more sophisticated than its suede predecessor, making the Bushacre 2 perfect for more formal settings as well.

Remember there are a ton of leathers here: from orange to green, smooth leather to waxed suede and even a wool version. If you are looking for a new boot for work, we recommend choosing something with a little more structure: a Chelsea boot or an Oxford boot will suit you well. 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. You can treat leather and suede boots with a water-repellent spray to add protection from the elements.

Using a more modern vulcanized rubber sole, the Bushacre 2 solves most complaints people have with the Desert Boot. Between the soft rubber and the thick Ortholite midsole, there is little support and ground contact. While the Desert Boots feature a suede upper, the Bushacre 2 comes with a smooth, soft leather upper.
