Here's a little history about Desert boots British soldiers on campaigns in Northern Africa wore this style of shoe (they were found in local Bazaars) for their comfort durability & lightweight construction which were all beneficial for sandy environments. They've come a long way since then though & now make a stylish statement for many men. This pair are crafted from 100% suede leather have the traditional open lace system with only two pairs of eyelets & sit at ankle height. They come in a neutral colour that makes them easy to style & are finished with a tonal Joules branded hare to the heel.
