The Boat Shoe Chukka

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 – Also on sale, tons of options including suede.

Are these something you’d consider adding to your weekend wardrobe?  Leave your answer below..
