Vintage desert boots in cotton

These vintage desert boots have cotton uppers on rubber soles, cut high, with laces up to the calf and a rubber toe cap. Four colours are listed, blue, green, brown and black, in sizes 39 to 46.

Cotton breathes and stays light, which suits dry weather and dry ground rather than deep mud. The rubber sole is flat enough for pavements and still bites on a dirt track. The neutral shape sits under jeans or fatigue trousers without much fuss, and the darker colours show dust less than the lighter ones.

Upper: cotton
Sole: rubber
Sizes: 39 to 46
Colours: Blue, Green, Brown, Black

Quality shoes, the fabric is thick and seems hard-wearing, the sole is flexible and tough, and they're light at the same time. They also have a certain look to them.

Cotton that breathes in the heat
Dry heat

Cotton that breathes in the heat

Heavy boots cook your feet by mid-afternoon on a hot, dry day. These vintage desert boots have cotton uppers on rubber soles, and the cotton breathes and stays light. They suit dry weather and dry ground, which covers most of a long summer.

Rubber sole

From footpath to dirt track

A sole that only suits one surface makes for an awkward boot. The rubber sole on these is flat enough for pavements and still bites on a dirt track, so one pair goes from footpaths to the campsite. Pick blue, green, brown or black, in sizes 39 to 46.
