Thoughts on chukka boots?

They're fine. Suede is best.

>> No.12754802

theyre ugly. annoying 4 lace holes gayness. they look clunky and never look good with any pants. seem to look better when you are wearing shorts actually. iow, ultra lame and super inflexible

I don't own Clark's chukkas, but I do have 2 pair of desert malis. Be mindful of which particular brown finish you get, they all wear differently.

i own a pair of these and i hate them. I only wear them when its raining honestly.

I had to change the laces too the default ones fucking disintegrate after tying them once.

Wear them with black jeans or any kind of chinos.

I like the clean lacing I guess, but I'd rather slip on higher boots.

I like them in suede. Quite clunky though. I think I liked them more in concept than in reality.

Chukkas are goodyear welted, in desert boots the upper is sewn directly to the sole, and usually they have a crepe sole

>> No.12755094

>>12755048
Chukkas aren't necessarily Goodyear welted. The main component of a desert boot is the crepe sole.

>goodyear welted
the defining characteristic that makes them chukka/desert boot is that the upper is all one piece of material that is folded over. thats why they are chukka/desert, it has nothing to do with goodyear welting.

I quite like mine, although I got them a half size too big and forgot that leather likes to stretch a bit when worn in. Oh well

>> No.12755419

>>12754876
But they don't keep rain, the fit between sole and the leather is too relaxed. Desert boots right.

I think chukkas are perfect when you grow up and stop using sneakers.

>> No.12756023

The best version is the sand suede.
>>12754802
They were actually originally intended to be worn with shorts.

Chukka/desert boots were the shoe of choice in junior high school, when I was growing up. By high school, more diverse choices showed up as individual taste developed. Anyway, here's a guide to all things chukka/desert boot oriented. Origin, history, style tips, it's all there. https://www.gentlemansgazette.com/the-chukka-boots-guide/
