Casual Boot (Desert Boot Alternative)

[MidwestDad]

So, I have priming for a fall/winter casual jean boot buy. I have never owned the classic desert boot or a traditional chukka, but have been leaning that way (most likely beeswax). So, i finally dipped into my local Clarks store and was completely sidetracked by this...

Basically a chukka, but with more structure and a bit more dressed up. The "oily brown leather" color looks perfect. So...any thoughts? pros? cons? be completely honest.

I like them with the exception of the stitching/wrinkles going on across the top of the foot.

The J&M Runnell comes in an oiled brown leather similar to what you posted, if you want alternatives.
