Review: 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 desertcart 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.

Thanks.** A: i would say they run very large.. i usually wear tennis shoes in a 10-10.5 with wide feed and the 10.5w were way too large.. i just received the 9.5w and still thinking a bit too much space up front. I just ordered the 9w so I'll see if it is 1 or 1.5 sizes too large. **Q: Do these fit true to size?** A: No. Out of the box, it is definitely at least a 1/2 size bigger. However, with a Dr. Scholl's (gel) insole, it fit perfectly. **Q: I'm going to buy these for this fall/winter. how is the sizing? I normally where a 12 in most everything. Some say they run big?** A: It does run big, I normally wear a 10.5 and I bought and wear a 10.5 but it is has room left over. I should have bought a 10 but I don't mind the larger show because I can wear thicker wool socks. **Q: The size we can choose is different from size chart, which is correct? 41 m eu equals 8 d us or 7.5 d us?** A: Thank You for contacting SneakerRx. A 41 is a size 8 in us. Please contact us if there any further questions thank you ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you're trying to decide between the Bushacre 2 (B2) and the Original Desert Boots (ODB), I think these are a fantastic value *by S***Z on April 16, 2017* First off, yes they are a half to a full size too large.

The first pair (as another reviewer mentioned) looked like they came from different dye lots. One was brown and the other was BROWN. Sent them back, no problem. A couple days later I received the replacements. Color was fine. When I first put them on I had on white athletic socks. I also have thick (veritcally) and wide feet. I could barely get my foot in and it pulled my sock so that my toes were almost curled underneath my feet.. Again, going back to reviews I had read here on Amazon, they fit snug at first and then relaxed after being worn a bit. I wore them to a Bible study at my church with out socks. They fit tight across my instep and top of foot at first. By the time I got home they felt pretty ok. I am wearing them today (day 2) with dress socks and they feel fine. Like most shoes they need to get broken in (even though they come with that look) I anticipate these becoming my go to shoes. I am not much of a tennis shoe kind of guy (yes I own a pair). For years I have been wearing a pair of Timberland oxfords that I loved. Time and shoes do not go well together and after 4 years I have had to put them in the "yard work" category. I am hoping these hold up as well. Following up... The more I wear these the more I love them! Being summer time I am not wearing them as much, however most Sundays I am wearing them to church, they look great, they feel great and the soles have this cushiness to them that adds comfort. I still can't wear them with my heaviest socks but that is ok, I have enough other socks. in the words of Cramer from CNBC,,, buy buy buy! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/51815659-mens-bushacre-2-chukka-boot](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/51815659-mens-bushacre-2-chukka-boot) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
