Using a more modern vulcanized rubber sole, the Bushacre 2 solves most complaints people have with the Desert Boot. It seems like the Bushacre 2 was built to solve a few of the main issues we have with the Desert Boot. I took a closer look at one of the top chukkas, the Clarks Bushacre 2, breaking down piece by piece so you can decide if it’s the right boot for you. There’s no doubt about the quality of the pull-up leather, so if you’re wondering whether either of these boots is “worth it,” the answer is yes.

Design My assessment of the boots' visual appeal, ergonomic features, and how practical the design is for intended activities. The “Originals” Desert Boot has a burgundy ¾ length leather insole that’s glued down to the support board/midsole. It has some sort of ultra thin suede or faux suede fabric lining around the rear half of the boot that transitions into a twill fabric lining for the front half of the boot. For more details, you can consult the section confidentiality charter in our general conditions of sale and the note entitled "data protection policy". 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.For an in-depth guide on how to care for your Clarks Bushacre 2 boots, check out our YouTube video on cleaning the Desert Boots. Craftsmanship My assessment of the construction quality of the boots, including the sturdiness of the soles, the neatness of stitching, and the attention to detail in the finish. While the crepe sole is delicate, it provides a lot of cushion, though you’ll need to give these boots a rest every so often. Chukkas have been around for many decades, but, like boat shoes, have recently reclaimed some “look at me, I’m cool!

The “Originals” Desert Boot has some lovely antiqued brass eyelets and even thinner cinnamon brown laces. Seriously, suede is a cool material with reasonable durability and a unique, signature texture that makes for great casual kicks. If you do a lot of walking and plan on wearing your boots nearly every day, you’ll get more mileage out of the Bushacre 2.Because there are only two eyelets, this boot is easy to slip on and off, so it makes for a great casual footwear option. Both are pull up leathers, meaning they’re jam-packed with oils and waxes so you don’t need to put a lot of effort into care.
