desert boot
Crepe-soled casual footwear
A desert boot is an ankle-high suede boot with a crepe rubber sole, originally designed for British soldiers in World War II and later popularized as casual footwear.
The simple, unlined construction makes them lightweight and breathable.
Desert boots are considered versatile enough for both casual and smart-casual dress.
