As you will know if you've been researching, these B2s have a synthetic sole vs the "crepe" sole on the ODBs. Clarks touts the cushioning of the crepe sole, so perhaps that is the main selling point. I have to note that the B2 synthetic soles ARE hard and not cushy. I went ahead and dropped in some Dr Scholls gel inserts and I can wear them comfortably all day. I've also read that the leather may be somewhat better on the ODBs and that they have brass eyelets (although it doesn't currently say that on the ODB Amazon description, so it may no longer be the case). One thing is for sure, and that is that the B2 is over $30 cheaper, at $60 vs $96 (Beeswax, size 10M as of 4/15/17).
While the ODB's crepe soles may be more comfortable, a unique cream color, and the more classic style, I like the understated all-brown look you get with the B2. Apparently the crepe soles are also known for wearing out faster and losing grip when wet. Having worn the Bushacre 2 for about 6 months in wet weather, I don't find myself worrying about slipping during normal activities. The soles may lack tread, but they do have a significant texture to them that provides perfectly adequate grip. I even (inadvertently) wore them on a brief hike once, and yeah, they aren't good for walking in mud, but they aren't hiking boots. On the trail they were fine, normal—about the same as any regular sneaker. Incidentally, the mud wiped off easily with some damp paper towels and they came out looking exactly the same as before.
As for the leather, I was prepared to accept the supposedly lower quality compared to the ODB, but honestly the leather is great. It's not thin, it is pliable and comfortable but still sturdy, and it looks fantastic. I scratched it in one spot on a stick during my hike, but the blemish just gives it character. That's the beauty of leather shoes, anyway: I'm really looking forward to these aging further and acquiring that worn leather look. And I know the synthetic soles will really last and and not wear out before that happens.
For all these reasons, I think the B2 is a great shoe and probably the better value compared to the ODB.
Before I bought these I was looking at other styles of chukkas from Clarks and other brands, so allow me to make a few observations about the style as well. I was a little worried about these being comfortable around the ankle because they lack cushioning and I thought they might dig into my Achilles area. Here's why that's not a concern at all: unlike a traditional boot, the laces are low and don't tighten up around your ankle, but on the top of your foot instead. The leather is pliable and sits gently on your ankle with lots of play. So that, along with the fact that they fit great all over and with the addition of some Dr Scholls, makes these actually one of my most comfortable pair of shoes. I had originally been looking for kind of an everyday boot, sort of a chukka style with a more chunky boot sole, but I couldn't quite find one I liked (Timbs are too chunky, Redwings too expensive, some of the other Clarks didn't have good color options, etc.). So I'm still kind of in the market for that, but in the meantime these B2s were by far the least expensive shoe I looked at, they look fantastic, and I'm really glad I picked them up.
- The bushacre 2's are made out of a thicker leather with a firmer temper. More like a traditional boot leather that is stiff and will break in with time.
- The bushacre 3's are made with a much softer leather that is thinner and much more pliable out of the box, no breaking in necessary.
- The bushacre 2's will absolutely need insoles. The hard rubber sole's are made out of a cheaper material (which actually holds up better to long term use than crepe) are HARD on your feet. This is coming from someone who enjoys a hard shoe, the bushacre 2's were too hard even for me. Luckily I had an old pair of clark boots that came with insoles and I used those.
- The bushacre 3's already come with insoles and are much more comfortable out of the box. That said, the insoles are pretty thick, soft and "memory foam-ish". I might have preferred them a bit thinner.
- The bushacre 3's also come with a different sole material, it's much more like crepe... might even be crepe, but it's colored in a way that won't get filthy looking like my original crepe soled clarkes from a low top pair I had. The sole material is much softer and provides more cushion than the Bushacre 2's BUT I've had crepe soles wear out completely in about 1.5 years so pick your poison.
Bottom line, if you're purchasing the Bushacre 2's you're getting a stiffer boot in general which I happen to like. They do have plastic coated eyelets instead of brass which the Bushacre 3's have but they are both made from metal. With an insole, the Bushacre 2's feel more secure and resistant to hard use. For loafing around town and working in a deskjob the Bushacre 3's will be perfect for you.
They are very different, funnily enough the Bushacre 3's cost $10 less than the Bushacre 2's. Now that I've added an insole to the 2's I actually prefer them to the 3's but the 3's are very comfortable and a great buy for a "ready out of the box" solution.
I don’t like the sole or lack of eyelets. It needs a steel shank, as the support is near zero. After an added insert with rigidity, they feel better. My heel kept lifting out, and so I added an extra row to the top and now they feel right. Other chukkas have 3 eyelet rows, which is more in line with the original South African vellie, which Clark’s replicate.
