Style
A chukka is a short, stubby boot. Chukkas are usually longer in the middle and shorter at the balls. The length is due to the area between heel and ball of the foot being longer.
This boot has a slightly thicker leather on the bottom of the foot to help support your weight as you walk. The rest of the boot is made out of leather with a rubber sole. This gives it some traction so you can walk without falling or sitting down.
As this boot is designed for walking and not running, it does not have a fast-walking-only feature. Instead, it focusses on looking gorgeous while walking in! This is possible because they are quality leather and cheap materials were not used.
Price

Leather quality
The main material for this boot is leather. It is professional grade, full-grain leather that has been tanned and processed to give this boot its signature softness. This does not make it less rugged, it just makes it more elegant and charming!
How the leather is processed determines how soft the boot is. Some are less durable than others, but all of them will be beautiful. Some are even buttery!
How much tanning the boot has done can determine how soft the boot gets. Some have more cream than buttery soles, while others have a richly browned sugar finish.
Sizing
When looking for shoes online, it is important to know how size refers to shoe size. Most sheep’s feet have a Europe foot length, North American foot length, and Western foot length. These sizes refer to the sheep’s foot length in inches compared with the North American foot length in inches compared with the Western foot length in inches.
Showing this information can help prevent confusion when ordering a new shoe. Many times, sellers will mix up European and North American sizes when placing an order for a new shoe.
Europe feet are usually about 3/16 of an inch longer than North American feet, which makes this difference significant. A Europe boot that is supposed to be a half size may look just like the same boot on someone with an America-specific size because they are so long!
A good rule of thumb is to buy a half-size up if the shoes are European and a full-size down if they are U.S.-specific.
Insoles
If you are wearing a flat, smooth insole, you can get some nice curves. If you are wearing anothy insoles, you can get some pretty strong knees. You can also have a big gap between the two. These differences make a huge difference in how your feet feel.
If you are going to wear anooth insole, it is important to remove it when it is cold. The less padding the foot has, the more efficiently it needs to be warmed.
When purchasing an insole, it is important to find one that is right for your own foot type. Some people need more cushion than others and may want more support.
Outsole
The outsole of this boot is made from lightweight rubber. This rubber helps keep your feet comfortable and safe during wear and breaks up the smooth surface of the boot. It also provides some traction as you walk, which is nice!
The outsole is designed to be used in varied conditions. You can depend on it to work even if it is a little wetter climate where you live. It has properties that fight dry skin and wind resistance, making it a good choice for outdoor sports like hiking, skiing, or summer fun like playing soccer or basketball.
These types of footwear are very popular because they are easy to get on and off.
Lacing
There is a lacing system in place that allows you to adjust the fit of this boot. The top of the boot is held on by four screws. These screws are then secured in place by two more screws across the top of the boot.
One problem with these lacing systems is that they can be tricky to tighten and remove. Because there are two more screws across the top, you must first loosen them using a screwdriver before attempting to remove them. Once they are removed, you can just pull up on the bottom of the boot to put it back on!
That being said, if you are not doing any formal events or chores around your house, you could leave these off! The greater benefit of these features is when you need them. For example, if you needed to take this boot for a long hike, then being able to easily loosen and re-tighten the laces would be very helpful.
