I’m certainly willing to bet you’ve got your own idea of what “smart casual” or business casual means in your menswear wardrobe: Pieces that are a step down from a traditional dress shirt and a full suit, for instance, but that can be mixed and matched with ease for a stylish sense of polish. The navy blazer, the white Oxford shirt and the khaki or tan chino are prime examples of some of the best business casual style for guys, but what about your footwear? There’s a way to bridge the gap handsomely between rugged work boots and dress shoes polished to a shine — for all those times that you might pair said Oxford or chambray shirt with dark blue denim, for instance, some of the best moc toe boots might suffice (see below for exhibit A in this instance).

And in today’s Friday Find — where we take a fairly quick-hit look at a must-buy product that might have flown under your radar — the LUCA Drift Moc Toe Boots exemplify smart casual, pleasingly rugged yet versatile footwear for your fall style rotation.
For those unfamiliar, LUCA is the prime smart casual footwear brand designed in-house at Huckberry, blending gum rubber outsoles with hybrid silhouettes, like a moc toe leather boot upper or a sneaker boot or Chelsea boot construction up top. And in this case, the LUCA Drift Moc Toe Boots use the classic hallmarks of a sturdy moc toe work boot, then take a more laidback approach with a gum rubber wedge outsole.

Triple-stitched contrasting construction accents the moc toe design itself, while a three-eyelet, chukka boot-like upper also gives them a dash of wear-with-anything appeal, especially when teamed with olive chinos, expertly faded blue jeans or grey cotton canvas work pants.
There’s a versatile appeal to the fairly priced, carefully constructed LUCA Drift Moc Toe Boots, and you can be sure they’re up to snuff — thanks to the good folks at Huckberry, of course. Lace up the LUCA Drift Moc Toe Boots the next time you need rugged new, stylish fall boots.
