Get Buc Wild !

There is nothing like a new, fresh and clean pair of bucs.  They traditionally came in just two colors, dusty, often called ‘dirty’, or white.  But today, there are so many more colors and styles from which to choose.   Nubuck is top-grain cattle leather that has been sanded or buffed on the grain side, or outside, to give a slight nap, producing a velvet-like surface. It is similar to suede. Differing in that suede is created from the inner side of a hide, whereas nubuck is created from the outer side of a hide, giving it more strength and thickness along with a fine grain. It is generally a bit more expensive than suede, but well worth the little extra.

There is also nothing like a beat-to-hell pair of bucs.  They almost tell a story of the wearer; where they’ve been, what they’ve had split on them, a bit of a badge of honor to some. Comfort is key here. Bucs all feature a rubber sole, which make a significant difference if you’ve on your feet all evening, with a stiff cocktail in your hand.
