Astorflex men's shoes review.

If you’ve been keeping up with the flurry of deals rolling through town (and on this style blog) these past few days as part of the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday menswear deals, I’d wager you’ve seen there’s no shortage of options when it comes to savings on the coolest gear for guys. That’s an understatement, right?

And there might not be a retailer doing it better at the moment — in terms of the type of and number of deals, and the categories covered, and the style points included — than our good friends at Huckberry.

The do-it-all-retailer has a penchant for rugged outdoor gear, stylish stretch denim, everyday carry accessories and oh-so-much-more, including curating a tasteful and very sharp lineup of Astorflex men’s shoes. Toss in the fact that Astorflex shoes are on sale for as much as 50 percent off during Huckberry’s Cyber Monday Sale, and you’ve got a certified fashion winner in the works.

The Italian-based company runs its own family-owned factories to make some of the finest chukka boots, Chelsea boots, leather loafers and tasteful slides on the market, each done up with richly crafted leathers, sustainably aged uppers, natural rubber or leather outsoles, and exceptional quality in every stitch. In my experience, it’s remarkable stuff in matters of comfort, construction and quality — but let’s get down to the real business at hand, shall we?

And that business ties back directly to the standout Astorflex men’s shoes sale we mentioned earlier — it’s part of a slew of deals ongoing at Huckberry, but these savings won’t last for long (seriously — today is the last full day!).

There’s a massive variety within the Astorflex lineup, from the tailored yet versatile Astorflex Redflex Derby — as wearable with rolled blue jeans as they are with tobacco-hued chinos — to the rugged yet somewhat sleek Astorflex Bitflex Chelsea Boots (another Astorflex staple, at least in my experience).

You’ll also find a bevy of boat shoes, side-zip boot, textured loafers and even the famous Astorflex Greenflex Chukka Boots for sale at Huckberry’s Cyber Monday Sale.

Style Pick of the Week: Astorflex Brownflex Chukka Boots -A Fresh Fall Footwear Staple

Best chukka boots for men.

We’ve been talking a lot lately on this style blog about building outfits with, well, building blocks in mind, or a series of autumn style essentials you can trust to come through in the clutch. I’m talking about the sort of reliable and versatile pieces you can make work for you in just about any style situation. That holds true with the razor-sharp dark blue jean or the charcoal blazer, not to mention the white Oxford shirt, the chambray shirt or the casually rugged henley.

Of course, you can find each of those picks at Huckberry — the site of today’s stylish selection for your weekend reading enjoyment.

But what about on the footwear front? Laidback high-top sneakers and durable leather lace-up dress boots offer options on opposite ends of the style spectrum, but somewhere in between might be the best chukka boots for men — as wearable with chinos or dark blue jeans, stylish enough to team with tobacco-hued trousers or dark brown corduroy pants.

And from there, you can mix and match a pair of chukka boots like the Astorflex Brownflex Chukka Boots with just about any #OOTD combination your heart desires.

The highly versatile, crisply designed Astorflex Brownflex Chukka Boots hail from a family-owned European factory that you perhaps know very well from their production of effortlessly cool crepe rubber sole desert boots from fabrications like suede and leather.

Those boots break in wonderfully over time while retaining their durability and standout build, and the more sturdy, sleek design of the Astorflex Brownflex Chukka Boots also makes them a more elevated style winner for what Huckberry calls ‘smart casual’ style situations.

They’re fully lined in leather for extreme comfort right out of the box, while the stacked rubber heel is a durable upgrade from the more laidback crepe rubber outsole on other editions of Astorflex chukka boots (the Astorflex Greenflex Boots, to be more specific).

The two-eyelet construction is sleek and streamlined, and the Astorflex Brownflex Chukka Boots should develop a handsome patina (or else, they can be polished to a nice shine, depending on how dressy you want your new favorite pair of chukka boots to get).

The Astorflex Brownflex Chukka Boots are also marked down under $200 right now, and that’s the perfect blend of affordability and dependability you can trust.

The Sunday Sale: These Stylish Leather Chukka Boots from Astorflex & Huckberry Are On Sale

Best men's leather chukka boots.

In any rotation of the best footwear for men, multi-season versatility is often crucial. So while your winter boots are long stowed away in favor of crisp canvas sneakers, for instance, there are stylish men’s shoes that stand the test of time and prove handy in both warmer weather and colder climes.

If you ask me, a pair of the best leather chukka boots for men can prove quite handy in the spring and summer — just as in the fall and winter. And the good folks at Astorflex (as sold by Huckberry, of course) rise to the occasion quite handily with multiple styles — one of which just so happens to be on sale today, my friends.

We’ve talked recently about how Astorflex boat shoes are a distinctive style upgrade, and if you’ve been reading the pages of this Brooklyn style blog, you’ll also have come across other Astorflex reviews over the years (it seems the company has been a staple at Huckberry for a decade now).

And now, the Astorflex Brownflex Chukka Boots are getting a nice markdown (about 20 percent) to add some character to your office wardrobe, and even a touch of variety to your off-duty wardrobe with dark blue jeans and a pocket tee, for instance.

The Astorflex Brownflex Chukka Boots boast a sleek but not overly dressy profile — they can pair with olive chinos seamlessly, for instance, but they’ll work just as well with black jeans or linen trousers. The Astorflex Brownflex Chukka Boots also happen to be developed exclusively for Huckberry, which is never a bad thing to have close at hand in your rotation of the best boots for men.

The Astorflex Brownflex Chukka Boots feature a classic two-eye chukka boot build, and the leather-lined upper is set atop a stacked rubber heel and a custom last. The leather lining in particular should prove especially supple, molding to your foot over time. Two sets of laces provide a touch of variety, although you can also swap in your own laces (I myself prefer waxed cotton laces for a slightly dressy finish).

Contrast stitching along the upper sets the Astorflex Brownflex Chukka Boots apart in subtle fashion, while the profile of these shoes works for wearing with a more casual summer suit or business casual ensembles. Plus, the fact that the Astorflex Brownflex Chukka Boots are marked down to $180 right now isn’t half-bad, either. When you want to make a subtle switch-up from the everyday this spring and summer, opt for handsome leather chukka boots, my friends.

The Thursday Buy: These Astorflex Boat Shoes are a Subtly Stylish Footwear Upgrade

When the chance comes to step into a new season in style, by dipping your toes into something that’s ever-so-slightly fresh, a slight departure from the ordinary, we here at this Brooklyn style blog say: Take it wholeheartedly, especially if the opportunity arises to try out a new shoe silhouette from a Huckberry-approved brand.

And if you’ve kept up with the blog on the regular over the years, then you’ll know it’s hard to pass up a chance to slide into some Astorflex boots and loafers. The family-owned Italian brand uses sustainable production methods in crafting its best-selling chukka boots and the recently launched Astorflex Derby Shoes, and the Astorflex Loafers are also a refined yet easy-to-wear summer style favorite.

And now, that strong stable of stylish footwear gains another member with the addition of the Astorflex Hestaflex Boat Shoes — not a moment too soon for easygoing summer soirees aplenty. These low-profile boat shoes are a touch more streamlined than traditional boat shoes, with moc toe detailing throughout and a chunkier sole that calls to mind sneakers or chukka boots.

Best boat shoes for men to buy now.

And yet, like all great pairs of Astorflex shoes sold by our good friends at Huckberry, the handsome Astorflex Hestaflex Boat Shoes feature that same Northern Italy handmade construction, plus richly crafted bovine suede uppers in either eye-catching Olive Green or more classically styled Brown. A memory foam footbed bolsters comfort, yet it’s covered in leather for a soft, supple and ultimately, stylish finish.

The crepe cup sole is another handmade touch that should quite literally provide a spring in your step, whether you style the Astorflex Hestaflex Boat Shoes with rolled light wash jeans, navy chino shorts or olive lounge pants. Keep in mind that your new favorite boat shoes are also unlined within the shoe itself, meaning you can slide into them comfortably right out of the box.

And as Huckberry sagely notes, “when Astorflex introduced their take on a boat shoe, we had to get our hands on it.” I’d say the same holds true for your stylish casual wardrobe this season, particularly when reviewing the rest of Huckberry’s summer style lineup.

In fact, boat shoes are practically begging to be paired with a knit polo and stretch chinos, to name but one way you should rock the Astorflex Hestaflex Boat Shoes. When the time comes to switch up your style rotation just ever-so-slightly, turn to a new boat shoe from a trusted brand.
