The Chukka boot is one of the most recognizable footwear styles. It features a tall, round, thick heel that stays on for a long time, a thin upper to match, and it is shaped like a boot, making it easy to run in.
The Chukka boot was created in England in the 12th century when soldiers would put leather shoes on before armor to protect their feet. The new shape of the boots allowed them to walk faster and easier which helped victory rates increase.
Today, the Chukka Boot is still popular due to its classic looks and price point- $60 is not too bad for such an excellent quality boot.
