With the possible exception of slipping on a perfectly fitted suit, in the world of menswear there are few feelings as satisfying as sliding your foot into a stylish pair of chukka boots.
Chukkas, also called desert boots – though that’s technically a specific subset of chukkas – strike a perfect balance between masculinity and comfort.
While they get their name from the sport of polo (a chukka in polo is kind of like an inning in baseball), they gained popularity in the mid-20th century after men brought them home from the Second World War, and were cemented as staples of menswear (at least in my mind) after Steve McQueen roguishly rocked them in the 1960s.
Today they’re the perfect way to inject a bit of ruggedness into an otherwise refined look, without sacrificing any style. And fortunately, you don’t have to look very far to find a well made, stylish pair that you can wear the hell out of.
In this post I’ve rounded up 17 of the best men’s chukka boots available to buy online, each of which will help you channel the King of Cool.
