Had several pairs since 1980, if your lucky you can find some brands that still do the chisel toe instead of the rounded toe ( i prefer chisel).

Sjælland [shel-lahn] is our take on the classic desert boot and was the first style we designed over 40 years ago. Today, it is one of our most popular styles due to its simple yet timeless design.duckfeetusa.com
Don’t forget these guys!I get that. Certainly not a look I’m going for (but all the cool kids are doing it. )

I think I’ll just stick to jeans and chinos.
Much as I like (prefer actually) the style of the Hutton, personally I’d look at alternatives.
Any opinions on the advantage of purchasing the Clarks desert boots model made in Italy?
My latest pair, only done a few hundred miles in them.

Picked these up in a local market for a tenner. Well spent.
Where did you find them? I only see a “Made in Italy” version of the Wallabee on their website.

Unfortunately, they closed UK production again after only a year or so. Not sure if Italian production is still going, or if that's done too. I haven't been able to find any information about Italian manufacture.For over a decade, the brand's iconic Desert Boots were made in countries including Vietnam and India, but recently the brand has focused on bringing production back to Europe. While Clarks is now manufacturing again in the UK, it is also building high-end versions of a few styles in Italy.Oct 26, 2018
I don't know if this is still the case.
I love desert boots and have a few pairs. There are a couple of British companies making their own versions of them, including Mod Shoes and Delicious Junction, which seem to be good quality, both companies have their shoes made in Portugal.
Yeah I've been eying a pair of the corded Mod Shoes. The DJ Bullitt boots are calling me like a siren's song too.Thanks for that. The ones by DJ look interesting. The corded ones add a different to to this classic boot.
