Men's Styles

Men's desert boots have been a staple of the sharp dresser's wardrobe since the early sixties, and this is where you will find them. The men's styles collection brings together desert boots, desert shoes and monkey boots from Popps and Roamers, in soft suede and smooth leather, with colours running from sand and taupe through to tan, cognac, navy, oxblood and black.

Whether you are after classic mens suede desert boots for weekends, a pair of leather desert boots to wear with a slim trouser, or the heavier look of a Popps 1961 MOD monkey boot in oxblood, there is something here that nods to the MOD years without looking like fancy dress.

How to choose

Pick your material

Suede gives you the softer, more casual desert boot look, the one everybody pictures first. Leather takes a polish and sits more easily alongside smarter clothes, so it is the one to reach for if you want a boot that does double duty.

Pick your colour

Sand and taupe are the traditional choices and sit well with denim and chinos. Dark brown, cognac and tan are a little dressier. Black and navy are the most versatile with tailoring, while oxblood and green have more of a period feel.

Boot or shoe

A desert boot covers the ankle and gives a bit more support. Desert shoes, such as the Popps COOPER range's lower cousins, keep the same crepe-soled character in a lighter cut for warmer days.

Fit and care

Most men find desert boots run true to size, and a pair of thicker socks is worth allowing for in winter. Brush suede regularly with a suede brush and treat it with a protector before first wear. Leather styles like a wipe down and an occasional cream polish.
