The Desert Boot

The desert boot was invented by Nathan Clark and pattern cutter Bill Tuxhill in 1949. Over time these boots steadily grew popular, worn by the beatniks in the 1950's, they then appealed to mods in the early 60's because of their ability to be both dapper and casual. In the late 60's and early 70's they were worn by hippies and were popular with school kids of the time. They were also famously worn by Steve McQueen in The Great Escape.



Desert boots are a suede, crepe soled boot    
with only two eyelets. The classic desert boot was originally a light tan.
