Clarks Bushacre 2 vs Clarks Bushacre 3 (Complete Guide) Clarks Bushacre 2 vs Clarks Bushacre 3 (Complete Guide)

Finally, the Clarks Bushacre 2 and Clarks Bushacre 3 are both comfortable, stylish, and durable casual men’s boots that are well-known for their versatility. The main distinctions between the two are their style and fit. The Bushacre 2 has a more classic, traditional appearance, whereas the Bushacre 3 has a slightly more modern, streamlined appearance. Because of this, the boot will rarely need conditioning and the leather is fairly water resistant without being treated. I wouldn’t take the Bushacre out in a rainstorm because it doesn’t stand much of a chance at keeping your feet dry, but at least there’s consolation knowing that if you get caught in the rain or step in a puddle, the leather won’t get water stains or shrink too much.The fit and sizing of the Clarks Bushacre 2 and the Clarks Bushacre 3 may vary slightly, as it is common for different shoe styles and brands to fit differently even if they are made by the same manufacturer. That being said, both the Bushacre 2 and the Bushacre 3 are generally known for their comfortable fit and true-to-size sizing. Finally, the Clarks Bushacre 3 has a cushioned insole and padded tongue and collar, which may make it more comfortable to wear for extended periods. The Clarks Bushacre 2 does not have these features. The leather is so pliable that there isn’t much of a break-in period to speak of. Besides the heel slip issue I mentioned above, the Bushacre 2 is comfortable straight away. The Bushacre boot is known to run slightly on the bigger side. Users have found that it’s best to choose a size down from your regular size. The Clarks Bushacre 2 and the Clarks Bushacre 3, also known as Chukka boots, are casual, ankle-high boots that are popular for their comfort and style. And even though there are a few key differences between the two models, there are a lot of similarities between the two shoes.

The Bushacre 3 fits a bit tighter, thanks to the removable insole and shorter toe box height. My toes do feel slightly cramped vertically here, but that may change over time. Leather requires a “breaking-in” phase. This period can be hard on sensitive feet. You can assist the process by using a leather conditioner or a shoe stretcher.

Clarks Bushacre 3 on the other hand starts at 100 USD and can go as high as 150 USD. With pull up leather, creases appear after just a few steps. This lends a rustic charm to the boot, but makes it a hard sell if you need a boot for anything formal.

Flexibility

Arch Support: These boots do not have much arch support, so they might not be the best choice for people with foot problems or who need extra support. The sole is durable and slip resistant, but it’s not the most comfortable for standing all day. I’m not on my feet for lengthy periods of time, so I never felt soreness when wearing these, but if you work in an industry where you’re standing for hours on end (service, medical, etc.) you may want to look at another boot with more cushion. Considering the price, this sole is decent. I’m not blown away by it, but it’s definitely durable enough to last for a year and a half to two years of consistent wear. Fit and Sizing Versatility: The Bushacre 2 can be dressed up or down, making them suitable for a wide range of occasions. The Bushacre 3 on the other hand has a slightly more modern and streamlined look than the Bushacre 2, which some people may prefer.

Clarks Bushacre 3 Review: The Leveled Up Desert Boot - Stridewise

These boots are classic chukkas and will suit a range of styles. You can pair them classically with denim trousers and a button-down shirt or smarten up with a blazer or cashmere sweater. The Desert boot also runs big. Wearers have found that it’s best to choose half a size to a full size smaller. They also tend to stretch readily when used regularly, which will make them feel larger. To work out how to get the best fit read our Clarks Desert boots sizing guide.I recommend getting a different leather if you’re considering the Bushacre 2 for the office (Clarks suede options are a solid bet). The Beeswax colorway is my favorite, but I like the rugged, worn-in look. If you need a neat presentation for work, you’re better off with a more uniform color. You can treat leather and suede boots with a water-repellent spray to add protection from the elements. This is a particularly good idea if you plan on wearing them during the winter.
