boot folks: where do you like your chukkas from?

What's your budget and dress or casual?

What's your budget and dress or casual?

budget, not my concern (i'm looking at St Crispins and Vass)
dress or casual? definitely not desert boot, something that serves versatility (dark jeans to dark chinos, likely not with a suit because i have oxfords and rarely wear suits)

C&J Chilterns are very versatile and look great with jeans/chinos. I have them in snuff but sure the dark brown would be equally good all-rounders.

I have a few pair of chukkas. My favorite is the Edward Green Shanklin. Unlined, extremely comfortable, not at all bulbous which is a feature of many chukkas I don’t care for.

You can't beat the MOD 524 chukka from StC with the curved topline. I owned the Vass chukkas on F last as well and found them beautiful, but the StC fit better so I moved the Vass on

do they have a handgrade version? or is the mainline version that good?

Shanklin vs Banbury - is the Banbury too "bulbous" like StC?

Not IME. Both built on same last.

Agreed. I don’t have any Banburys but they’re usually much more expensive than the Shanklin - like, almost 50% more so - and I don’t know why.

I'm always on the hunt for balmoral boots. They are not easy to come by these days. Looking forward to these from Bodileys made by Cheaney (and apparently designed by John Garner - Ex Edward Green)

and inspired by the new delivery I'm up for a bit of textured brown boot care.

I ordered these. They are beautiful and reasonably priced. I just couldn't resist.
