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 beauty of the highly durable, expertly crafted Red Wing Heritage Weekender Chukka Boots lies in both the details large and small, like the flexible and lightweight Hill outsole, with a textured design for traction and durability (just like other pairs of Red Wing work boots, as luck would have it).

The Thursday Buy: Amberjack Just Debuted Some of the Most Comfortable Chukka Boots for Men on the Market

Best chukka boots for men.

When a company looks to innovate a classic silhouette in a major way — like, say, forging a path ahead to make your go-to dress shoes and boots that much more comfortable — I’d say it’s worth paying attention (and perhaps adding a pair or two to your wardrobe).

New York City’s Amberjack has been on that quest for a number of years now, pioneering some of the most comfortable dress shoes for men — as you’ve seen in Amberjack footwear reviews on this blog — by using sports sneaker technology blended with the crisp good looks of richly crafted leather dress shoes.

Find out more now at Amberjack

The Amberjack footwear lineup now includes some of the best slip-on shoes as well as Chelsea boots, a pair of stylish suede captoe dress shoes and as of this season, the Amberjack Chukka Boots, as fine an example as any of supreme comfort and utterly timeless good looks.

The newly launched Amberjack Chukka Boots are a welcome addition to the lineup and a style requested by fans of the brand who know that comfort underfoot makes all the difference. In my experience, Amberjack dress shoes deliver rebound, comfort and support out of the box, with no break-in time required, and one imagines much of the same will hold true as far as the Amberjack Chukka Boots are concerned.

When it comes to the sleek and stylish leather chukka boots on display here, these handsome chukka boots blend a full-grain leather upper and soft sheepskin lining that I’ve found is supple and easy to wear right out of the box.

The cgain their comfort and performance from a dual-function athletic outsole made from flexible TPU, while its arch support is activated by heat to form to your foot — it’s an ingenious dose of technology that elevates them from traditional benchmade dress shoes (although it’s also wise to consider investing in a more classically made pair from time to time).

With their taller four-eyelet upper, the Amberjack Chukka Boots (available in leather and outsole combinations like Chestnut and Mocha as well as grey suede Obsidian) should offer ankle support as well as a smooth ride all day long. Given the blend of hybrid tech and style points aplenty, the Amberjack Chukka Boots should pair nicely with other tried-and-true staples in your style rotation, from tobacco-hued chinos to rolled light wash jeans and even dark olive corduroy trousers.

You can even style the versatile Amberjack Chukka Boots as you might a slightly more casual or rugged pair of lace-up leather boots: Try ’em on for size with a thermal henley, a chambray shirt and dark blue selvedge denim (just as I would this fall, my friends!). When comfort is called for and you need dependable style that won’t quit, opt for a new pair of the Amberjack Chukka Boots, folks.

Best chukka boots for men.

There are plentiful welcome signs as far as the return of fall is concerned: The pleasant crunch of leaves underfoot, a brisk breeze carried on the air, the welcome cracking of a cold can of Oktoberfest beer and of course, the return of plentiful opportunities to wear your new favorite boots. Or rather, your old favorite boots.

Or a dash of both, and that’s where a refresh when it comes to the best chukka boots for men can sort out your footwear rotation in fine form.

And with a refined toe shape and a chunky, eye-catching and utterly comfortable outsole, these are the sort of stylish men’s chukka boots you can wear with wool trousers and a navy blazer as readily as you can style them with dark blue jeans and a trim flannel shirt.

The rubber crepe outsole on the Sanders Hi-Top Chukka Boots is a major selling point: That outsole should deliver comfort, rebound and even a touch of traction (although careful about getting these suede chukka boots wet, my friends).

In a rich shade of brown, the Sanders Hi-Top Chukka Boots are especially appealing and stylish when worn with everything from olive chinos to burgundy corduroy trousers and even faded mid-wash denim (it’s helpful that you can certainly find many a complementary piece at Huckberry to go with your new favorite pair of fall boots).
