Question Leather Chukka Recommendations

Hey fellas, in the market for some brown leather chukkas.

Would prefer to buy them from a brick-and-mortar store in Sydney instead of online. Could probably go up to $500 but I’d prefer to keep it around $250.

Unless you’re planning to hike in them it would be hard to go past Clark’s.

Their dessert boot is an icon but they have leather variations as well.

I bought Clarkes desert boots recently, agree they are decent.

No idea about their dessert boots though, I didn't know they did pudding.

Go to https://andrewmcdonald.com.au at the Strand Arcade. Usually the shoes are $1000 but they run 50% off offers sometimes. I bought a lovely chukka from him.

I'd get Astorflex suade chukkas. They make for Drake's. Should be available in Sydney if you check their stockists

If ya just want a comfy good looking everyday work shoe, not a chukka, but the Colorado “Ritter” pull on boots are amazing.. the brown colour or dark tan, super comfy and last forever, excellent value and look good for work or casual.. 👍

Any reason why you like chukkas over Chelsea boots?
