Just arrived this very nice pair of chukkas from Cobbler Union, maybe the best chukkas I own. Since my feet are bulky due to my daily running, pointy toe boxes are avoided.
The Utah leather looks great, the quilted heel cup show lots of attention to detail and the red linning adds some joy. There are 4 holes (brogues?) on the side that gives some additional visual interest to a very versatile boot.
Brand: Cobbler Union
Model: Chukka / Brown Utah
Last: 312
Welt: 360
Sole: Dainite

@JFWR Does it ever cross your mind to show any tact or sensitivity before you post? Sometimes, your rudeness seems to know no bounds. Try - if you can - to imagine that someone has posted something they are really happy about and then you wade in with your negative comments. What value does that add to this thread or to the person to whom you are referring? A bit of empathy and a certain loss of ego wouldn't go amiss. Opinions are one thing; rudeness is quite another.They kind of remind me of those Carmina reindeer boots that were a giant crapshow for Kirby.

Those are a beautiful colour and I like the shape, too. What's the model/brand?
Thanks. They are Alden’s 1493 unlined Snuff Suede chukka.
Ah! Elvis covered it but it was a Carl Perkins' composition and hit! An interesting colour, though, sort of a cross between navy and indigo.Love that shade of blue. I’m sure you will get some Elvis references!
Crockett and Jones has a number of dark brown suede versions including the Tetbury.Aside from the Alden's, what would you all recommend for a pair of dark suede chukkas that could be worn with tailoring as well as chinos/corduroys?
