Bushacre 3

Men's

I love these boots! I had the Bushacre 2s and loved them except for the sole was very thin and didn’t do well in outdoor settings. Well, guess what?! They fixed it with the Bushacre 3. I could see and feel the upgrade in the sole immediately. Even a nice cushion has been added, something missing from its predecessor (Bushacre was pretty bare bones). These boots look great with most everything! My Bushachre 2 held up extremely well, I had them in my rotation for at least three years but they were routinely my go to’s. Also, I can’t see the difference between these and the desert boot from Clark’s. I hear the desert boot is made in England so that explains the higher price. No thanks, I’ll keep buying the Bushacre as it’s the same boot, only difference being is that it’s made in the US. Really comfy, really stylish, very versatile. For me, I usually wear a 13 but a 12 feels more secure with these boots.

Normally, I wear a 13 in shoes (wide foot, as well). I ordered an extra wide 12 and had to return for a medium 12. Order a size down from your normal size, and you should be fine.

I ordered a wide because I usually cannot fit into boots. But the top was way too wide and does not adhere to your body. It flops around and it hurts frankly. Also I was very unhappy with the material. It is marketed as leather, which is suitable for work. But it looks like rubber boots, which are not office suitable. The style is nice and the shoes are really comfortable except the top of the boot.

My 13yo son is super picky about shoes. He put these on and loved them immediately. He kept saying, "I can tell these are really great quality! I can tell they use good quality materials and they're made really well." No joke. He's 13 and the only shoes he's let me buy him over the last few years have been purple generic sneakers from Amazon. Hopefully this opens his eyes a little :)

I wore Chukkas and Wallabies when I was a kid and was looking for a comfortable Chukka in traditional style. The Bushacre is a slightly more affordable version of the Clark's desert boot due to not being made in the UK but still has quality materials and manufacturing. The beeswax is a pull up leather that immediately starts showing creases and character, which is exactly what I expected and wanted. The insole makes walking in the shoe almost "cushy". wouldn't recommend hiking on jagged rock trails but street or sand should be no problem. I wear a wide shoe and have a high instep and the 9.5 EE fit with the same width feel I've had in other Clark's I've purchased in the same size. The toe box feels as wide as others but a bit tighter/lower. This is not a problem as the pull up leather tends to stretch over time.
