Chukka boots are low ankle boots with a simple lace-up design and relatively little decoration. The collection from Carlos Santos and Heschung includes smooth calf leather, grain leather and suede, allowing the same basic style to range from dressier to more casual.
Smooth calf leather with a leather sole creates the cleanest option and works well with chinos, wool trousers and smart-casual clothing. Grain leather adds texture, while suede gives chukka boots a softer and more casual look. Rubber soles add grip and suit regular everyday wear.
Because chukka boots are visually simple, material, sole and last have a strong influence on how the boot looks. Choose these elements according to how smart or casual you want the boot to be, then check the individual model’s fit and construction.
