I bought these to replace my Bushacre 2s which I accidentally shrank. Compared to my old pair:-The last seems wider but has a good bit less clearance above the toes; I went up a half size and I'm glad I did. Not crazy about how wide they look in comparison, but I'll get used to it.-These actually have support underfoot, which accounts for the lack of space; it took about two days to break them in and now they fit like a glove.-The color is quite a bit darker; they weren't kidding about the 'coffee' moniker. It's like full-strength black espresso color. They'll still work with my wardrobe (actually more of it than my last pair), but I wasn't quite prepared. If I could have a do-over, I'd get the 'dark brown' colorway instead.Overall, I do think these are an ... MoreI bought these to replace my Bushacre 2s which I accidentally shrank.

Difficult to tell from the pics, but the taupe shade is suede. The suede seems nice with a good nap. The new cushioning on these is much softer than the old Bushacre boot. Some cons are the white layer visible on the heel and the fit is off compared to old CDBs. The opening around the ankle seems bigger and my foot slides around more and the toe box seems both more boxy/less sleek than previous DBs but doesn't have as much room vertically for my toes. Overall, I'm happy with the buy, the price and the ease of in store pick up.

I ordered these boots first in my usual 8.5 but I nearly walked right out of them! I returned those to my local store and ordered an 8, those were too tight in the toes, ugh! I ended up buying these at the store in an 8.5 again and am satisfied that they will do. At the price they were offered I can live with them a bit on the large side. I took their insoles out and put in a pair I had with better arch support and they fit a bit better now. I do really like the look of the light suede ones though!
