Clarks Men's Bushacre 2 Chukka Boot

Product Information

But they do have suede uppers, so you can spend your precious free time happily cleaning and buffing out scuffs, stains, and water spots that are attracted to suede like magnets. The story goes that Nathan Clark, a British officer stationed in Burma during the second World War, kept seeing fellow officers pass by wearing a comfortable boot picked up during a tour in Africa. Clarks doesn’t offer any specifics on the quality of the leathers found in the Desert Boot and the Bushacre 2. Outfitted with a durable sole and high quality leather, this boot is a great entry-point for anyone looking to boost their style with a new boot.

While on the thinner side, this chocolate brown “Beeswax” shade of pull-up leather is oily and waxy and gives the boots a matte, almost dusty look when new. 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.

Being the curious person I am, I couldn’t help but pick up a pair of the Clarks Bushacre 2 boots to test the differences for myself.International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions. Plus, we love the fact that the Desert Boot is the classic chukka, and we like it the way it was 70 years ago. The Bushacre 3 takes that same natural rubber material and gives it a crepe-like appearance BUT it’s brown! This lends a rustic charm to the boot, but makes it a hard sell if you need a boot for anything formal. The Bushacre’s hard, brown sole was the better choice for those who wanted more grip and less wear and tear.

These durable leather chukka boots have a Derby style lace-up closure, lightly cushioned insole, and a durable rubber outsole for solid traction.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. 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. We’ll trade the extra bit of comfort and the classic light crepe color for the boost in durability and cleaner look. In Review: Clarks Desert Boot 2 vs Original Desert, Bushacre 3 vs Bushacre 2 (what’s the difference? The heel slip disappeared after about five wears, so that goes to show how quickly the leather adapts.
