Stunning Dress Chukkas
A lot of you asked us for a more conservative, dressy Chukka with a rainproof sole. I heard your call and I am happy to present to you today the Classic 7991 Chukka Boots by Carlos Santos in Coimbra Patina and a Dainite Sole!
Since it's introduction more than 70 years ago, the Chukka Boot has become a popular staple in a man's wardrobe. Known for its flexibility and more casual nature, the Chukka took its name from the game of Polo, where a "Chukka" is a period of play.
It is a type of Ankle Boot that is very easy to style and is ideal for all seasons. It goes especially well with denim and chinos as well as the odd trousers but dressier version can work fine with a suit.
The 7991 by Carlos Santos is an especially elegant Chukka due to the design lines and most importantly the last it is built on. The 401 Last is is Slightly Elongated which blends really well with the plain toe nature of the Chukka, while the Almond Shaped Toe gives it some extra flair without looking too pointy. It strikes the perfect balance and sports a slightly higher instep that works in tandem with the 3 eyelets.
Very easy to slip on and off and the Dainite Sole is great for those of you that live in Sweden, Seattle or any place that rains or snows. Worried it might look too chunky? Technology has evolved and pretty much nobody will be able to tell this is not a leather sole, while it will last much longer!
The Patina is gorgeous and a trademark of Carlos Santos. Hand-Painted Patinas are their specialty and this is no different. Specifically, this is the Coimbra Patina which is a Very Dark Brown with slight hues of lighter brown.
