My last pair of Desert boots still looked great except for the crepe sole. My local shoe repair store didn't work with crepe soles so I had them re-soled with foam type sole which I wasn't a fan of. I decided to give the Bushacre 2 a try and I am very pleased with them. Pretty much the same as the DB but with a better, longer lasting sole. I own the beeswax, black, and the brown suede.
