If you thought it was nearly impossible to improve upon the best men’s style classics, think again. The humble chukka boot has a storied heritage all its own, as does American footwear maker Sperry, innovators of styles like the boat shoe and of course, the Sperry AO Chukka. So, what does one get Huckberry and Sperry team up on a refresh to an iconic fan favorite?

Well, the answer is pretty clear right up front with the new Sperry x Huckberry AO Chukka Boots, a meeting of the minds that blends history, rugged appeal and a few fresh, revamped touches in one stylish pair of men’s boots.

Huckberry, everyone’s favorite adventure-and-Americana retailer, with a healthy respect for timeless styles (like Sperry boat shoes), says that the AO Chukka goes one step further in terms of style, sensibility and even performance.

In fact, one of the best online retailers for men says that the Sperry x Huckberry AO Chukka Boots take “everything you know and love about a boat shoe—like the hardwearing, water-resistant leather uppers and ultimate-gripping outsoles—and combines it with the easy styling of a chukka.”

That’s not a bad look for your footwear rotation this season and well beyond, right? No doubt about it. The handsome Sperry x Huckberry AO Chukka Boots get plenty of things right when it comes to the details and their design, including collaborative detailing inside the heel and on the tongue.

There’s a laundry list of features to love, including rich full-grain leather throughout — the kind that’ll develop a handsome patina over time — as well as the use of traction-friendly Razor-Cut Wave-Siping technology for grip on slick streets in winter, spring and, well, just about any season. Of course, rawhide laces and contrast stitching throughout, just like you’d find on classic moccasins, drive home the craftsmanship and timeless appeal of the new Sperry x Huckberry AO Chukka Boots.

What’s even better still is the fact that they’re up for grabs for under $200, and there are plenty of sizes to be had when it comes to your new favorite chukka boots. A meeting of the minds that bridges the gap between the old and the new, done by one of your favorite retailers? Sounds like your next footwear purchase has arrived, my friends.
