Sebago Beacon Chukka Boot – $69.99 ($138)
So you’re not much for some kind of boot for your weekends, yet you want something a little more resistant to the elements and earth than a pair of Jack Purcells. Enter the boat-shoe chukka.
They’re all pretty much the same makeup. Based on the Boat Shoe chassis, the moc toe is still there, but the leather rises up over the ankle. Plus, there are a ton of options that are almost all affordably priced under $100. A couple worth any interested party’s consideration:
The Above Sebago: $69.99 – Great price, from a heritage company.
Lands End Canvas 3-eye-moc: $98.00 – Dressed up leather with contrast stitching (below)
Sperry Top-Sider A/O Chukka: $52 – $77
Are these something you’d consider adding to your weekend wardrobe? Leave your answer below..

I’m definitely liking those Sperry’s best of the three options here. Its a little lower profile than the Sebago, I mioght even be able to pull that off with shorts. Plus the suede options are nice.

I have the Land’s End version and I wouldn’t really recommend them. I can’t think of any distinct reason, but I stopped wearing them shortly after buying them. That can never be a good thing 🙂
I picked up two pair of the Sperry Chukka for a nice discount ($25 each). I wear these things everywhere. They are probably my best purchase of last year.
Any comments on how they feel? Are they comfortable? Any arch support at all? I’m on my feet all day and have a hell of a time finding stylish, comfortable shoes, especially for the warmer months
When I do wear them it is usually all day with no problems, but I am not constantly on my feet. They are your typical boat shoe design, almost flat bottom, some arch support but not much. They aren’t a tennis shoe, but I consider them comfortable.
Gracias. Either way, they’re sweet enough that I think I need to give them a try.
I’m not a big fan. I haven’t seen any in person, but there’s just something a little off about them to me. I may be able to get used to them, but I’m certainly not running out to pick up a pair.
I think a good alternative to this would be a straight desert boot. Same concept, yet much more classic.
