Another day, another foray into spring style essentials, and we once again find ourselves talking, if briefly, about the best footwear for men — in this case, we’re diving into a slightly more rugged pair than yesterday’s feature on the best new boat shoes from Astorflex. Instead, let’s turn towards the humble, hard-working chukka, once again offered up by our friends at Huckberry.

While style legends like Steve McQueen made the chukka boot an easygoing yet rugged staple, Rhodes Footwear now takes that same DNA to heart decades later and ramps things up a notch in terms of dependable, workwear-inspired style and utility.

Granted, the Rhodes Footwear Work Chukka Boots aren’t as spring cleaning-approved as steel-toe lace up work boots, so the style perhaps wears more stylishly for off-duty pursuits, but the rugged name remains the same — and just as worthy of your consideration. Throw in the fact that your new favorite chukka boots are marked down by more than $100, and the gettin’ is as good as it’s ever been when it comes to the best footwear to buy now from Huckberry.

For those not in the know quite yet, Rhodes Footwear is the in-house, classically inspired footwear brand from Huckberry — essentially, from moc toe wedge boots to durable chukka boots and even sneaker boots, these shoes pair expertly with other Huckberry-branded favorites, from waxed trucker jackets to expertly faded selvedge denim.

The Rhodes Footwear Work Chukka Boots hail from footwear capital Leon, Mexico, a place that knows a thing or two about expert footwear craftsmanship, while the company’s lightweight Meramec PU outsole delivers rebound and springy comfort, while a leather-lined insole molds to your foot and provides a further dose of comfort.

Available in Taupe and a rich Cognac leather, the Rhodes Footwear Work Chukka Boots pair easygoing good looks with plenty of durability for the low, low price of $125 — you might not find a better deal on the best men’s chukka boots than this pair here, my friends.
