Desert boots: if they can handle the desert, they can handle anything



 


Not long ago, I bought myself a pair of desert boots and I thought to myself ‘jeez, in fact they’re really bloody versatile these desert boots!’ What brought me to this brilliant conclusion? Well that’s what you’re going to find out after this –inspired…- introduction.

When we think of desert boots (as you do) we tend to think of Clarks, or more specifically Nathan Clark, the grandson of one of the brothers behind the brand, who popularized the concept working with models found during WWII on the markets in Cairo: for the time they represented a great compromise between comfort and allure.

The most basic desert boot is made from suede in rather pale colors with a crepe sole (crepe as in the rubber, not as in the delicious French pancake)
