Dress "Boot"

[Svenn]



Black "Oxford Chukkas" is what I realized that I am talking about. Who makes good ones?

I will be laughed at, but I've been wearing a couple pairs of Hush Puppies chukkas with my suits that are extremely light, flexible, and comfortable to walk in, the Hoffman is best:

I have a $400 AE Bayfield boot, but compared to the hush puppies the AE's are like wearing a giant clunky station wagon on my foot. The AE's slap on hard surfaces and make a lot of noise and are too narrow (though admittedly look more elegant than the hush puppies), the HP come in wide size.

I wear a pair of black C&J chukkas in my rotation. They look perfectly acceptable with a suit IMO.

Mine.

Mine.

Got a switchblade hidden in those?

I've been looking for a "proper" balmoral boot for a while. All the boots I come across seem to be blucher style rather than oxford lacing. I can't bring myself to wear blucher lacing with a suit.

Edward Green sells 'em.

I would never wear boots under a suit. It's more for the casual approve.

i have the C&J northcote and i am able to close the flaps all the way when i tie them, they are a decent dressy alternative imo

I have these. Dress boots started out as a really cool idea.....but got on my nerves after a bit. Always worrying if your pants leg is caught in them. The ones I have (below) are from K. Cole.

Saw this on Leffot's website the other day. Good alterantive to EG Shannon.

Good pair shoes if you are into role plays and goth style dressing.

 

[Achillus]

Lol.

I'm still waiting to see an Oxford Chukka.

Mine.

These are really quite ugly.

With a good pair of boots you wont even notice that they are anything other than Oxfords until you raise your pant-leg. I had a friend who wore boots for three weeks before I realised they weren't just plain toe Oxfords.

No the are not.
