When the time finally rolls around to step into spring — as in, right about now — you need to be prepared with spring style essentials aplenty. If you read the blog on the regular, you know this much to be true, and if you’re new to the world of The Style Guide, allow me to introduce one of my favorite brands: Red Wing Heritage, makers of some of the best boots for men, and reliably sold by the fine folks at Huckberry.

Perhaps you’re already familiar with Red Wing Heritage — they’ve got a decades-long pedigree, a hard-working history of making tough leather boots, and plenty of modern style points (and fans!) to back them up. That brings us to the Red Wing Heritage Weekender Chukka, a classic pair of durable, dependable shoes that are ideal to wear as we step into spring. How so? Reader, I’m glad you asked.

The Red Wing Heritage Weekender Chukka has all the hallmarks of a highly dependable boot for breezy spring days and slippery city streets, from the use of Copper Rough & Tough S.B. Foot Tanning Company leather to the Hill outsole and comfortable ComfortForce® footbed. That combination should make them the ideal blend of comfort and style, and of course, that rich Copper leather will only get better with age the more you wear the Red Wing Heritage Weekender Chukka.

Better still is the fact that they’re made in America, a surefire sign of quality and durability you can count on. Perhaps most ideal of all is the price: Right now, these rugged men’s chukka boots are up for grabs at Huckberry for under $250. Your new favorite pair of spring boots is well within reach, my friends.
