Building an #OOTD from the ground up, especially in the anything-goes days of spring, where weather can turn on you at a moment’s notice, often requires a pair of the best boots for the men. A pair built with versatility and dependable style in mind, a pair that can work as well with faded light wash jeans as they do with stretch chinos — a pair like the Rhodes Footwear Harrison Chukka Boots, my friends.

This time around, you’ll find them at Huckberry and in the Huckberry Sale section, always a wise place to start your search for rugged, hard-working (and discounted) gear for guys.

Get stellar savings on new spring gear at Huckberry

In my experience with Rhodes Footwear boots at Huckberry and via other Rhodes boots reviews on this very Brooklyn style blog, I’ve found that comfort is key, a respect for heritage design is top of mind, and a balance between rugged work boots and more casually stylish everyday boots is top of mind.

My friends, that’s precisely what you’re getting with the Rhodes Footwear Harrison Chukka Boots — and they just so happen to be marked down about $100 right now in the always-reliable, always-fun-to-shop Huckberry Sale section. The specs speak for themselves, but I’d say a closer look is in order, wouldn’t you?

Best leather chukka boots for men.

The Rhodes Footwear Harrison Chukka Boots boast the classic three-eyelet build of the chukka boot, set atop resoleable Goodyear welt construction featuring contrast stitching. And one of the best pairs of chukka boots for men gets its durability and good looks from the use of handcrafted waxed bovine leather, the kind that’ll take on a beautiful patina over time.

Leather-lined insoles will also mold to your feet and provide instant comfort right out of the box — from the very first wear of the Rhodes Footwear Harrison Chukka Boots, which you might just grow to learn are your new favorite chukka boots.

The Vibram outsole should give you some serious spring in your step (plus added traction on cobblestone city streets as you search out an Old Fashioned). The Rhodes Footwear Harrison Chukka Boots also feature a profile that’s neither too casually rugged nor too dressy to wear with jeans — like the best men’s chukka boots on the market, they’re about as wearable as it gets with plenty of pairs of pants in your rotation.

Best Chelsea boots for men.

It pays off to have a trusted stable of sturdy, dependable men’s style essentials close at hand, no matter the season. That certainly holds true in your footwear rotation, particularly when stepping ever-so-slightly from late winter into early (early) spring. And friends, I have just the pair of boots to upgrade your menswear stable right now — at a discount, no less, and from one of the best online menswear shops for guys.

The focus today, though? That’d be the Rhodes Footwear Boone Wedge Chelsea Boots, a hard-wearing set of workwear-inspired Chelsea boots that manage to be both rugged and refined at the same time. In my experience, those are the best kinds of pieces to have in your transitional style wardrobe, are they not?

Right now, the Rhodes Footwear Boone Wedge Chelsea Boots are marked down about 15 percent, so while the savings aren’t as major as what you might find from, say, the Huckberry Annual Sale, they’re still worth taking a look if you need a new set of durable Chelsea boots.

The key is the Goodyear welted Vibram Sport 2060 outsole, which provides superior traction and reliably rugged performance — unlike some other pairs of Chelsea boots, which typically lean more sleek and dressy.

The handsome bovine leather upper will develop its own patina over time — and quite stylishly, in my personal experience with Huckberry boots — while the bovine leather lining molds to your foot over time.

Plus, the Rhodes Footwear Boone Wedge Chelsea Boots come with a Morflex outsole for added comfort, support and traction. And in a stylish medium-brown shade, the Rhodes Footwear Boone Wedge Chelsea Boots should pair up fashionably with everything from olive chinos to light wash jeans to black denim.

And while the Rhodes Footwear Nash Chukka Boots might not boast a 007-approved price tag, they’ve got all the rugged versatility and style points in spades that you can ask for this season.

If you keep up with the blog on the regular, you’ve very likely read Rhodes Footwear reviews, as the brand specializes in modern updates to the classics — from wedge-sole Chelsea boots to the highly versatile leather chukka boots for men you see here.

And the Rhodes Footwear Nash Chukka Boots carry on that same modern legacy of versatility and just enough variety, using supple leather and craftsmanship hailing from Leon, Mexico, birthplace of some of the finest boot brands in the world.

The Rhodes Footwear Blake Chelsea Boots, part of the in-house lineup of best-selling menswear at Huckberry — a site also known for its dependable trucker jackets and stylish blue jeans — just get the job done. That’s likely an understatement, since they take the time-honored Chelsea boot and improve upon it in rugged fashion.

The Rhodes Footwear Blake Chelsea Boots start with a tumbled, broken-in leather upper for comfort right out of the box, and then Huckberry adds an extra reinforced panel for even greater toughness and durability.

To really double down on workwear-ready toughness, the Rhodes Footwear Blake Chelsea Boots use a chunky, grippy and yet lightweight Meramec PU outsole with a wedge build for a more casually rugged look. Plus, your new favorite Chelsea boots boast a full leather lining for extreme comfort right out of the box — at least, that’s true in my experience with Huckberry boots.

The Rhodes Footwear Blake Chelsea Boots are also fashioned with recraftable welt construction, so you can wear ’em for days, weeks and months on end this season (and on into the next one).

Helpfully, there are a range of sizes available in both a laidback Mojave Suede and a rich, gets-better-with-age Hickory leather — when it comes to finding your new favorite boots for fall, the Rhodes Footwear Blake Chelsea Boots are a strong contender, and they’re up for grabs right now.

The Thursday Buy: The Rhodes Winslow Boots from Huckberry are the Most Versatile Boots to Wear This Season

Now’s the perfect time to lace up your new favorite pair of boots — if you’ve taken care of shopping for the boots in question, that is to say. If not, well, you’re just in time to stock up on some of the best men’s boots, a pair that’s as stellar, rugged and stylish as they come. That’d be the Rhodes Winslow Boots, one heck of a pair of stylish leather lace-up boots that check all the right boxes this season and well beyond. Checking off the boxes, after all, is something of a Huckberry specialty, and the good folks at the San Francisco-based retailer set out to make a set of workwear-inspired boots with plenty of knowledge and a sturdy vision in mind. You see, the Rhodes Footwear line is a lot like the rest of Huckberry’s standout offerings, including the best waxed trucker jacket on the market.

Lace up your go-to leather boots from Huckberry

Rhodes debuted in the fall of 2018 with a focus on making subtly stylish, well-priced and expertly made boots, mostly of the dress and chukka varieties, but the latest and greatest launch is, again, workwear boots that offer something slightly lighter, slightly more casual and still plenty wearable all the same. The Rhodes Winslow Boots are an ideal pair of boots to buy right now if you want to ease into the colder months without reverting right away to snow boots, which is as it should be, after all. These toe the line (literally) between bulky work or snow boots and less substantial (but no less essential) chukka boots. Think of the Rhodes Winslow Boots like an excellent middle ground, and some of the best men’s boots for fall, right down to the small details.

Those small details, naturally, are what Huckberry has worked so hard to get right, and with the Rhodes Winslow Boots, that effort shines through. For under $200, you get a pair of boots made with rich full-grain roughout leather designed to only get better with age (these are some of the best boots for men, after all). The upper totals 5 inches, so they aren’t outrageously high — more like a mid-boot than an ankle or chukka boot, but again, no less useful for the fall and winter months.

Buy the Rhodes Winslow Boots now

The Rhodes Winslow Boots are also built atop a soft and springy Meramec outsole, which gives them less traction in the snow but provides a mighty smooth ride in plenty of other types of weather, or simply on blustery fall days with crunching leaves underfoot. The boots are also handcrafted in the footwear mecca that is Leon, Mexico, another place where plenty of the best boots for men are made, season after season. Because they’re a plain-toe boot with a wedge outsole, you’re going to get plenty of wear out of ’em with all of your favorite casual style essentials, from faded denim, a classic henley and the best waxed trucker jacket to a chambray shirt and tan chinos for a nice blend of high-low style. You can even wear them this holiday season (and they’d be great boots to wear for Thanksgiving) — just add a soft, slim-fit flannel shirt and tailored blue jeans to hit the mark, folks. The next time you need a pair of reliable-as-can-be leather boots, the Rhodes Winslow Boots are going to come through in the clutch.
