Choosing Carlos Santos Chukka Boots
Carlos Santos chukka boots combine a clean ankle-high design with the versatility of a simple lace-up construction. The collection at The Noble Dandy is centered on the 7991 Charlie, made from smooth calf leather with Goodyear welt construction, leather soles and a selection of Carlos Santos hand-finished colors.
The plain upper gives the Charlie a cleaner appearance than more heavily detailed boots, allowing it to work with chinos, wool trousers and dark denim as well as less formal tailoring. Its ankle height also makes it an easy alternative to Derby shoes when additional coverage is preferred.
The collection ranges from traditional Noir Shadow and brown-toned Coimbra and Braga to more distinctive Wine Shadow, Norte and Bosco finishes. Darker and brown shades provide the broadest versatility, while burgundy, blue and green place more emphasis on the boots themselves.
All current versions use the Carlos Santos 401 last in an F medium fit. The 401 has an elongated, chiseled almond shape and generous instep, while the leather sole keeps the overall profile refined.
When choosing between the available Carlos Santos chukka boots, color is the main difference, as the model, construction, last and material remain consistent throughout the collection.
