The stand out under $100 Chukka

Nordstrom 1901 Houston Chukka – $99.95

Somewhere between the mountainous piles of logging influenced workboots and the flattened landscape of suede original desert boots from Clark’s, there lies a valley of moderation.  A utopia of in-betweeness.  And all of the residents wear something that looks like these Chukka’s from Nordstrom’s 1901 line.

I’ll stop before this becomes a full blown Dr. Seuss tale.

Leather exterior, rounded toe, slightly burnished, and thicker laces.  Plus they come in a denim ready chestnut color.  Not a bad look for someone who doesn’t want to jump on board the Logger Boot wagon, nor are they as in-love with the suede Clark’s desert boot as the rest of the world seems to be.

Just under $100, available at Nordstrom or through Nordstrom.com
