J. Shoes Desert Boots – $59.50 for Brown or Black
Well I’m confused. Haven’t we seen these before for more than twice the price through Martin & Osa? But Martin & Osa doesn’t carry the J. Shoes Mojave Desert Boot anymore. Why are they on American Eagle for half the Martin & Osa $155.00? Know this:
- Martin & Osa and American Eagle are owned by the same parent company… and
- There have been some rumbles that Martin & Osa is a dead brand.
(On a sidenote, if you need a pair of white Chinos for this blistering hot summer? Try these from Martin & Osa, which will set you back only $15.00 right now. Savings will be reflected in your shopping bag. All sales final.)
Maybe they aren’t the same boot. But even if they aren’t, for $60 you’re getting a desert boot that will appeal to even the guys who don’t like two of the most classic desert boot characteristics. Namely the suede and thicker, somewhat clunky toe of the Clark’s desert boot
$60.00. That’s it. Nice.
I like the brown boots, very cool for fall and winter, but I need to invest in new brown loafers first. My Cole-Hann I picked up at Marshall’s 5 years ago for $34 finally bit the dust.
Two side notes, Martin & Osa stuff has been showing up in my local Marshall’s lately and I also posted on the FB page that LEC is now 50% off summer sale (including the Madras shorts).
It does look like Martin & Osa is about to bite the dust. Sweet that Lands End Canvas is now half off. Here’s the picks from the first level of the sale (most are now available at 1/2 off)
Use this 20% code (32944527) and it’ll only be 55 after tax and shipping.
You can get 4% cashback through bing.com so ~$52.8 using the code andrew posted.
Thanks for the coupon Andrew! I’m going to give it a try.
BTW, if you look closely at both the pictures (AE.com and the Martin OSA one that was on dappered earlier) they look exactly the same. I got them both today before they run out. I almost bought the oiled Mcallister, but thank got I check dappered once a day.
use 32944527 at AE, you can get them at 47, I just did. read that again
47$ !
Thanks for the coupon. Just ordered my pair.
Any word on how they fit? Standard desert boot-style with a half-size larger than marked?
I have a pair and they seem to fit true to size.
Just received a pair and I have to say they look great. As for the sizing, I got a size 11…..I am normally a size 12 or 45ish ….and they fit snug and I hope with regular wear, they’ll fit looser. Thanks Sunil for the coupon 🙂
What color are you guys getting? Still trying to decide which would be more versatile…
Jack, I’m in the same boat. I kind of like both but cant get both, I’m leaning towards the brown ones.
Definitely fit true to size. I have and am quite partial to the brown pair. Black leather boots just look kind of biker-ish to me…
just ordered mine i was tempted to get both colors. I really liked alot of american eagles other shoes. I am sure the quality is not the best but the distressed oxfords and wing tips looked cool for $60 plus if you get free shipping and another 20% off with that code.
just got my brown pair in the mail and decided to get the black as well. Got each for $48 shipped. These puppies retail for $180 this is crazy!!!
Same here, wanted both, got the brown and love them!
I ordered both brown and black with the discount code (thanks y’all) and found they are a bit large for the size. I reordered a half size smaller in each over the phone (same price) and they picked up the shipping this time. Then I returned the boots to the AE store here in town for a full refund. Very nice not to deal with shipping them back.
wow this is such a great offer $59.50 for Leather Desert Boot is a very good deal.
