Desert boots

[akatsuki]

Clarks are dead so time to buy some new boots.

If like something a bit better quality, but still with a rubber comfy sole for casual wear. Suede uppers, resoleable, etc. Could be crepe sole or vibram or whatever.


So what is a step or two up form a Clark? Under $300 ideally.

I went after chukkas and studied many options. I have concluded that those of Charles Tirhwiitt are the most accessible Goodyears and the Yanko are the most beautiful ones in ante. The latter are available at https://prologuehk.com/products/yanko-chukka-boots-cognac-suede. There are very interesting options also in NPS with very good price.

I like Astorflex Greenflex and Walkflex boots as well as the Red Wing Weekender Chukka. I would consider all three a step up from Clarks.

Do you make a difference between chukka and desert boots?

Usually the latter are crepe sole, just as the CDB, chukka have more structure and can be more formal. In your range of price I would suggest to have a look to the Loake chukka offerings, such as the Kempton or the Pimlico Dainite soled. Herring has some nice models in the same range of price.
