The Clarks Desert Boot is one of the most recognizable footwear lines in fashion. They are characterized by their dark brown, desert-like upper, and sturdy, round, leather sole. The rounded sole is useful for many tasks including walking long distances.
The boot is typically worn with a dress or casual shirt and jeans. This looks great!
The bushacre is similar to the desert boot except it is solid black with a white accent piece. These are typically worn with a nice, soft jacket or sweater instead of the plain dark brown leather boot.
Both boots have great reviews! Many say they are beautiful on their own, but look even more beautiful when stacked on top of each other.

Differences in material
When looking at the two shoes, there are some noticeable differences in material. The Clarks boot is made out of leather, while the Bushacre shoe is made out of synthetic leather.
Leather has different properties than other materials. It can hold a shape, not only while walking but also while sitting. It does not stretch as quickly as other materials do. This is why it is more expensive!
Synthetic leather has less of a thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing than a natural shape. It does not hold its shape well and can be painful on the feet over time. The boots will probably last about the same amount of time with normal use, though!
Both shoes are beautiful and will fit your needs, but one may be better for your feet than the other.
Price difference
The price of the Clarks Desert Boot is more expensive than the Bushacre. Both are sold at major retailers, but the Bushacre is more expensive than the Clarks.
The Bushacre is priced at $65 while the Clarks is sold for $70. Both shoes are made from high-quality leather and are stylish. The difference is in how they’re used. The Desert Boot can be used as a everyday shoe or a night time shoe. The Bushacre can be used for everyday or formal occasions, where comfort and style are priority.
The leather on these shoes feels luxurious and heavy, which makes a big difference in how you use them. When looking at these shoes from an aesthetic standpoint, they look very different when worn with socks and sneakers vs. without!
We recommend the Desert Boot over the Bushacre because of its better shape-fitting ability and quality material.
Sizing differences
When shopping at full price stores like Target or Village Shopping Centres, you have a couple of ways to determine your shoe size. You can go to the measured foot, or you can use shoe size charts.
Both methods are useful! When looking at shoe size charts, look for feet between one and two inches (20 to 25mm) wide. This is what creates a “normal” width in shoes. On the computer or on a mobile device, use the app sized model method to find your perfect fit.
When looking at the foot, check for normal movement and wear patterns. If you are in shape but want more comfort or height to your booties, change up the shoes’ thickness.

Both pairs of shoes mentioned above will keep you comfortable all day long.
Style preference
If you are looking for a more relaxed, casual footwear choice, then try one of the following pairings. The Clarks Desert Boot is a very soft, plush footbed. The Bushacre mat is harder and more rugged. If you are looking for more performance-oriented footwear, the Vibram FiveFingers are not for the faint of heart. They are quite heavy!
In this case, style preference wins over function. The Clarks Desert Boot is a top seller, so they have plenty of buyers. The majority of them like the way they look and feel them on their feet.
As mentioned before, these shoes aren’t recommended for daily wear due to the heavy nature of the leather.
Material preference
If you prefer leather over synthetic leather or if you prefer suede over textile material, then you should pay attention to the material in this pair. The Bootza is made of synthetic leather, whereas the Bushacre is made of sheepskin.
Both leathers look gorgeous and feel nice against the feet. However, because of the sheepskin, this pair is more expensive than the Leatherbootz. Also, because of the cheaper price point of the Desert Bootz, some might consider it less beautiful or luxurious.
The Sheepskin Bushacre is a very popular pair of shoes, mostly due to its softness. They are somewhat bulkier than the Antique Tan Desert Bootz, which may affect how quickly you can get used to them.
Price preference
For those who are extremely focused on price, the Bushacre is the better option. The Clarks Desert Boot is more expensive than the less costly Bushacre. Both have good value, though.
If you are more concerned about features and customer service, then the more expensive Clark’s Boot is the better choice. The Bushacre has some cool features that make it worth the extra money, like lumbar support and memory foam in the footbed.
Memory foam feels slightly relaxing even when your feet are not being moved at all. Lumbar support helps keep your back supported during wear and hours of use. These features make the boot feel more luxurious than the less expensive Desert Boot does not have these features.
When it comes to hours of wear, there is no difference between these two boots as far as how long they take to break in. The Desert Boot can easily get warm with use after hours of sitting or standing due to lack of support in the footbed.
Size preference
If you are already a size 5 or larger, do not worry about switching to a size 4. The size 4 has the same height of the 6-inch sole, but is slightly narrower at the ball of the foot. This may be worth it if you are very busy and need these instantly!
The smaller sizes are actually for people with very narrow feet or less wide feet. The width of the foot is what determines the size, so if you have very broad feet, this might be an option for you.
Overall, we would highly recommend choosing your regular shoe size based on how big your feet are. If you have small or large feet, take into account that there might be some difference in how these shoes fit you.
If you have a more average sized foot, go with the standard width of this shoe to get enough space around your foot.
