Desert boot

What is a "desert boot"?

A desert boot is a type of ankle-high boot that originated in the 1940s and was designed for use by British soldiers in North Africa during World War II. The boot typically features a suede or leather upper, a crepe rubber sole, and two or three eyelets for lacing. The simple and comfortable design of the desert boot made it a popular choice for soldiers and civilians alike, and it quickly became a fashion staple. Today, desert boots are a popular casual shoe choice for men and women, and they are available in a variety of colors and materials. They are often paired with jeans or chinos for a relaxed yet stylish look.
