About Me

Yes, I am a desert boot. I am a single desert boot looking for the other half of my pair. Are you my sole mate?

A Mod classic, the Desert Boot was inspired by the crepe-soled boots worn by British officers serving in Africa in World War II.

It consists of two pieces of glove-soft leather stitched together and accented with two practical pairs of eyelets for a snug fit.

As an international success, even Italians forsook their leather loafers for the desert boot's simple comfort.
