If you’re trying to decide between the Bushacre 2 (B2) and the Original Desert Boots (ODB), I think these are a fantastic value
First off, yes they are a half to a full size too large. I bought a 10 and I normally buy 10.5 or 11 in sneakers (depending on brand). Also, my shoes are the “Beeswax Leather”, which is gorgeous. I see there’s also a “Beeswax” option and I don’t know if that is different or not. Moving on…As you will know if you’ve been researching, these B2s have a synthetic sole vs the “crepe” sole on the ODBs. Clarks touts the cushioning of the crepe sole, so perhaps that is the main selling point. I have to note that the B2 synthetic soles ARE hard and not cushy. I went ahead and dropped in some Dr Scholls gel inserts and I can wear them comfortably all day. I’ve also read that the leather may be somewhat better on the ODBs and that they have brass eyelets (although it doesn’t currently say that on the ODB Amazon description, so it may no longer be the case). One thing is for sure, and that is that the B2 is over $30 cheaper, at $60 vs $96 (Beeswax, size 10M as of 4/15/17).While the ODB’s crepe soles may be more comfortable, a unique cream color, and the more classic style, I like the understated all-brown look you get with the B2. Apparently the crepe soles are also known for wearing out faster and losing grip when wet. Having worn the Bushacre 2 for about 6 months in wet weather, I don’t find myself worrying about slipping during normal activities. The soles may lack tread, but they do have a significant texture to them that provides perfectly adequate grip. I even (inadvertently) wore them on a brief hike once, and yeah, they aren’t good for walking in mud, but they aren’t hiking boots. On the trail they were fine, normal—about the same as any regular sneaker. Incidentally, the mud wiped off easily with some damp paper towels and they came out looking exactly the same as before.As for the leather, I was prepared to accept the supposedly lower quality compared to the ODB, but honestly the leather is great. It’s not thin, it is pliable and comfortable but still sturdy, and it looks fantastic. I scratched it in one spot on a stick during my hike, but the blemish just gives it character. That’s the beauty of leather shoes, anyway: I’m really looking forward to these aging further and acquiring that worn leather look. And I know the synthetic soles will really last and and not wear out before that happens.For all these reasons, I think the B2 is a great shoe and probably the better value compared to the ODB.Before I bought these I was looking at other styles of chukkas from Clarks and other brands, so allow me to make a few observations about the style as well. I was a little worried about these being comfortable around the ankle because they lack cushioning and I thought they might dig into my Achilles area. Here’s why that’s not a concern at all: unlike a traditional boot, the laces are low and don’t tighten up around your ankle, but on the top of your foot instead. The leather is pliable and sits gently on your ankle with lots of play. So that, along with the fact that they fit great all over and with the addition of some Dr Scholls, makes these actually one of my most comfortable pair of shoes. I had originally been looking for kind of an everyday boot, sort of a chukka style with a more chunky boot sole, but I couldn’t quite find one I liked (Timbs are too chunky, Redwings too expensive, some of the other Clarks didn’t have good color options, etc.). So I’m still kind of in the market for that, but in the meantime these B2s were by far the least expensive shoe I looked at, they look fantastic, and I’m really glad I picked them up.

Solid boot, looks great.
My shoes arrived in a box, but true to tthe other reviews arrived with the leather scratched and scuffed to hell. For me, this isn’t a dealbreaker as I’m using them as a smart casual/rugged boot but if you’re looking for something dressier, this won’t be it. I am looking forward to seeing how they uniquely age since the leather is easily marked and the patina is part of the appeal for me.I’m a size 10.5 converse wearer, size 11 running shoe and typically find I have to size down boots a half size. I ordered these in a 10, and they’re a bit large but not worth swapping for a 9.5 and riskkng them being too perfectly snug. You do have to lace them a bit tighter since there are only two eyelets per side.They don’t offer a ton of support and have a flat sole. I’m not sure I’d want to be on my feet all day in these but for short walking trips, they’re probably fine, though I just may buy an insole insert for some comfortable padding.There does seem to be some QC issues and some of the stitching is sloppy. parts are assembled w/ small symmetry issues that no one but you will probably notice. For the price, these are killer boots. If I’d paid more for them, I’d expect a better quality but these are definitely a much better boot than the price would have you believe.

Great Quality
The quality was way more than what I paid for. I didn’t have much faith in it due to the price but this boot held up wonderfully from all that I’ve thrown at it. It got soaked in the rain a few times now but is still holding up and never lost it’s quality looks and comfort feel. I would recommend it 100%. I’m a casual biker and I use it as a riding boot so that’ll give you an idea of the abuse it’s been put through.

These are a lot only work shoes. They look good with everything and can be worn to any function whether it be a formal function or on a casual day with jeans and t-shirt

Nice fit
Solid boot. Order a half size up of your actual size as it is a bit snug. Haven’t tried it in rain/water conditions but some wax/shine takes care of it if you are in that situation.

Bad design. Changes color. Not what you see on the picture
The leather and the bottom sole are of good quality. But it doesn’t have insoles and the laces are not good. Both the shoes are not having the same color. one shoe is bees wax color and other one is mix of bees wax and dark brown. After a couple months of use the color difference is clearly noticeable.Major dislike is the comfort, there is not even a slight curve at the back of the ankle and has one less hole at the top to tie the laces. This makes the shoe doesn’t hold well to the feet and always feels sliding off. You can not walk easy (lift the feet up) if there is no curve on the shoe at the ankle, its a basic and bad design.

Great boots. Bought a 1/2 size down because others said they fit a little large and this is not my experience. The 1/2 size down is tight and I didn’t exchange because they’re leather and stretch. I’ll probably get a second pair and will get my proper size.Also had a 3rd set of eyelets punched through and the heel feels great.

Compre las mismas botas de dos publicaciones distintas, los dos vendido por amazon mexico y el de esta publicación son los amplios, en lo personal me quedaron mil veces mejor que el normal ya que tengo pie de tamal. En ningún lado de la publicación dice que son wide width pero pues ahora saben que lo son.Las botas en si están 10/10, la piel de excelente calidad y muy cómodas

Great boots, I only wish they were waterproof and a bit more comfy while new. It takes a while to break them in.
