Clarks Bushacre 3 mens Chukka Boot

This Boot is amazing.. i ordered 44 EU size and it perfectly fits. One Negative thing which i read in most of the reviews was that the insoles are so hard and not comfortable while walking. Glad they rectified it by adding a soft insole now with the Bushacre 3.

I love the material, comfort and design

These are the best Boots if you have wide feet like mine. It was difficult for me to walk with these boots in the beginning but later I added innersoles with arch support which made them extremely comfortable to walk. Bear in mind these boots are made of solod leather and are not breathable so you will get sweaty feet which most of the time is absorbed in the boots.

Great quality and very comfortable . These boots are authentic and the real deal

The upper is good quality full aniline leather for this beeswax dark brown boot. Size is larger than others. This is quite comfort boot.

Happy

Looks nice but it's heavy, Price and quality are good.

La suela se rompió en la primera puesta. Parece que los zapatos eran viejos y se guardaron por años en una bodega antes de vender.

The quality is great for the price, and I love the clean, minimalist design. I went one full size down from my sneaker size and this is the perfect fit - no “heel lift” that some other reviewers mentioned. They are comfortable all day in my office job - even when playing lunchtime table tennis. For a maintenance product, I can recommend the Waximum paste from Timberland.

I bought the desert boots as a gift for my son. He wears them all the time. He loves them. Thankyou.

Shipping: Very fast delivery, from Hongkong to Singapore. Clarks box was just inside an envelope without any padding, and it still came intact. Experience : I read the reviews here and at others, and many mentioned that these run large, and to buy 1/2 size lower; so, I did from 7.5 to 7. I usually buy Wide, but with my Clarks experience, there is no need for Wide as the leather is usually soft and will expand quickly to fit, sometimes a few hours only. In this case with Bushacre 3, brand-new and with thin socks, 1/2 size smaller than true to size really felt short, a feeling that something is clamping my foot tight, with less wiggle room for my toes and my feet were throbbing and pulsating with blood ! The top of my big toe is also hitting the leather tight, and is not a nice feeling. There was one independent review that I didn't heed, a comparison of Desert Boots 1, 2, Bushacre 2, 3. He did say the Bushacre 3 was tighter than 2, probably due to the 3's Ortholite footbed. I should have bought true to size for Bushacre 3. The Ortholite seem to be good, really thick, squishy soft when pressed by hand. Out in the street, however, I still felt the hard insole after awhile inspite of the thick footbed. This reminds me of the story "The Princess and the Pea", so I guess thickness and softness does not necessarily mean effective. I also couldn't get rid of the tightness I felt even after walking for hours. I inferred that it must be the thick footbed that was making the shoes tight, so I replaced them with a Skechers footbed, thinner by half but really effective, with a better arch, and I no longer felt the hardness underneath it, whether stationary or in motion walking on concrete pavements. With the Skechers footbeds, great, tightness and hardness problem solved ! The shoes now fit well, with a bit of allowance. Now I'm going to put the Clarks footbed into my Timberland leather sneakers which are too large by 1/2. The Skechers footbeds were size 7.5 and they fit perfectly, and they were the same length as the Clarks Ortholite footbed. So I think these Clarks are actually 7.5 shoes, but marked as 7. The shoes are slightly heavy but manageable, it's probably because of the outsoles. I wouldn't use them on really long walks though, unless the added weight is wanted, for exercise. Construction as seen from the outside looks well-made, no issues so far. The Beeswax color looks great to me, like dark-brown greenish. One common complaint is that the heel lifts up while walking. This is especially true when the laces are loosely tied. Tightening the laces well as much as I can without getting to the point of discomfort minimizes by a huge degree the heel lifting up, it's no longer a problem. I also saw another review stating that the leather will eventually mold around the heel and prevent its lifting, after about 5 to 8 days of walking. Anyway, at the moment, no problem at all, just tighten the laces. With tighter lacing, the shoe hugs the ankle area much better too, and not look and feel oversized at the ankle area. So far, after changing the footbeds, no pain points at the most common pain areas - the little toe, bunions, behind the heels, above the ankle bone. That's good, I don't have to use any pads to protect my feet while breaking them in, YMMV. The tongue bites a bit, but I can take it, it should soften up later. Overall, all good, well-made with good quality full-grain or top-grain leather. I did not buy the suede version, so the leather on mine is a pull-up leather, easily scratched, but this will give it a more rugged character in time, a distressed look. Anyway, easily unscratched just by rubbing the area with a finger to give friction (heat). Final thoughts, I'll go against the grain and buy true to size, unless one will change the footbeds like I did. On the other hand, I only weigh 58 kg (128 lbs), maybe heavier people will feel different, wherein the Clarks footbed will be pressed down more. * Update, it's been over a couple of weeks, love these pair of shoes. I changed the shoelaces (kept the original) to waxed ones to match all my other shoes.

Fast delivery to Estonia. Beautiful, high-quality shoes. There's an issue with the sizing. The external dimensions of the shoes, at first glance, appear large. However, when compared to other well-known shoes of the exact same size, namely, 43 EU Wide, 10 US, and 9 UK, you can see that the external dimensions are the same. The same cannot be said for the length of the insole. As you can see in the photo, the length is 29 cm. For a size 43 EU, that's too long. The shoes will have to be returned. But the question is, which size should you buy in this case: 42.5 EU Wide or 42 EU Wide? That is the question, as the great William Shakespeare said.
