I vote paraboot
Deciding between Paraboot (goodyear style, rubber sole, dressy look, MIF, about $290):
Or a pair of APCs (on sale at MrPorter, about $225 on sale, not sure where they're made):
Sucks that first image is so small! French site could use work.
Anyway, thanks for any thoughts up front! These would be my first Chukkas. Bummed the dark brown APCs were sold out in my size (42).
