Clarks Men''s Bushacre 2 Boot

ATTENTION MEN: I have done all the work for you.

I know what you''re looking for.

You are looking for a boot that looks manly, both rugged and refined.You want to wear it to the office with khakis, and you also want to wear it with your jeans to chop wood in. You definitely don''t want to worry about it in the snow, and you need it to keep your feet dry. Men don''t like wet feet.

You''re not a cowboy in Montana so you can''t buy cowboy boots without being a dork, and they can''t be too heavy because you need to outrun wild animals if necessary. It can''t be too tall or too low because you need it to be versatile for in-and-out-of-office use, and it absolutely has to have a low profile with clean, simple lines and stitching, because that''s what gentlemen wear. And of course it can''t have too tall of a heel because women wear high heels. Men just have heels on our boots and we don''t talk about them.

Also, because men like leathery things, you need them to be leather, and not shiny or too clean looking...but a sweet looking, aged, broken-in, badass man leather. Suede can be appropriate in certain occasions, but you want real deal leather. After years of searching, I have found the perfect leather man boot.

The dark brown leather chukka Clarks Bushacre 2 Boot is the same shoe as the Desert Boot, but has a much more durable synthetic sole. It''s not as springy as the Desert Boot, so some might say they''re not as comfortable. I disagree and literally wear these every day. I''ve had the Clarks Desert Trek before (not the Desert Boot, but with the same crepe sole) and sure they were comfortable. However the soles started to wear down pretty quickly, and they literally melted MELTED to the seat of my car on a hot day. That''s not happening with these babies. The Bushacre is durable as crap and I love them.

I sprayed my dark brown version of the boot them with a waterproofing agent from Target that makes these repel water beautifully, and the spray made the boots look darker, more aged and like I''ve had them for a long time. I''ve had them 3 months and they''re wonderfully broken-in like a glove. It only has 4 total eyelets so this helps with comfort, as does the nicely placed reinforcement in the heel which guides the break-in process.

One thing to note regarding size these guys run big. For example: I wear a 9.5 in Nike for workout shoes. I ordered an 8 in these and they were a bit snug, but have broken in to exactly the right size.

I''m about to say something that maybe I shouldn''t because it might be premature to make predictions for 30 years down the road. I will be wearing these boots 30 years from now. They probably won''t be the ones on my feet at the moment and I''ll probably be on my 2nd or 3rd or 4th pair then. But they''ll be the Bushacre.

I like to wear things until they wear out, and if I find something good and quality I like to make the original last as long as humanly possible. Therefore, I''ll wear these every day, I''ll get them resoled a few times, and plan on them lasting 15 years. Then I''ll buy another pair.

Clarks, please never stop making these boots. If you do I''ll have to swim to England and protest at your front gates. Then I''ll have to buy 4 more pairs so I can have them for the rest of my life. Thank you for making a rugged yet refined boot that looks good in any occasion, and one that kicks every other boot to the curb with its durability, agility, versatility and coolility.

Dudes. Quit researching and buy the best man boot out there. And don''t forget to take the cowboy boots off your Amazon Wish List.

The only difference between this and the standard Clark''s Desert boot is the slight difference in the choice of colors and the fact that this has a synthetic sole (and a very durable one) rather than the natural crepe sole.I sprayed waterproofing silicone on it before the winter (the dirtiest, messiest NYC winter in my 50-year memory), and this did not change the color at all, but at the end of the winter the boots were completely unscathed by the snow and ice the city failed to clear (little kids were trying to help the city''s snow-plows!).No slipping or sliding, no water ever touched my socks, my feet were warmer than one would expect, and they cleaned off easily.The laces started giving out after all that heavy use, but for $2 they''re easily replaced.

The other on-line shoe place has all the models, and I have 2 of those other Clark''s Desert Boots as well.

If it''s a Clark''s Desert Boot, I''d say you can''t go wrong.

For those yearning for the simplistic past yet wanting to compromise nothing to the present, this boot is for you.I own as well a Clarks Desert Boot with the only difference being the sole.However, having the privilege of an A / B comparison, to be true I prefer the "right out of the box feel" of the Bushacre.Pick your colour and think of nothing else.My only caution to those buying on-line would be to purchase a 1/2 size smaller than you normally would.All comments you may have read pertaining to this necessary sizing adjustment I have found to be true for Clarks as a whole.Now my friends, " Trod On"!!!!

Want Clarks Men''s Bushacre 2 Boot Discount?

I already owned a pair of Clarks Bushacre 2 suede chuckas that were purchased about 18 mths ago. I wore the shoes 3 or 4 days per week and loved them so much I wanted to purchase another pair. All the retailers in my area that carry Clarks men''s shoes didn''t have the product, nor did Clarks website. I was able to find the shoes on Amazon after I''d exhausted all other options. From now on, I''ll start where I finished this time.
