Rockport Men's Classic Break Chukka Boot

I don’t usually write reviews, but these Rockport Chukka Boots absolutely deserve one. I liked them so much, I bought a second pair after I literally wore the soles off the first — and even wore through the liner. That’s how often I wore them.As a larger guy, finding boots that look sharp and don’t cause foot pain can be a challenge. These nailed it. The cushioning is fantastic, the fit is supportive without being tight, and I could wear them all day without aches or hotspots. Whether I was at work or out for the evening, they held up and looked great doing it.They strike that perfect balance between fashionable and functional — clean enough to dress up, but still casual enough for everyday wear. I’ve gotten compliments, and more importantly, I’ve gotten serious mileage out of them.If you want something comfortable, stylish, and built for real use, these Rockport chukkas are 100% worth it. I’ll probably buy a third pair when the time comes.

This is the third pair of these boots I have had over the last 9-10 years. They look great. Soft leather. Comfortable, but I recommend an upgraded insole. The only downside is these are chocolate brown and I thought they'd be close to the same color as my previous pairs which is sort of an English Tan.

Like these boots, but the soles wore out much faster this time than the last time I bought the same model. The dark tan color is great, as well as the black. The fit is comfortable for all day wear and walking, and glad to find it in small men's foot size. 7 1/2 W. BUT hope they go back to the old construction or material of the soles. Can't give it 5 stars any more, since we're going to have to replace these sooner than expected. But yes, we'll be going back to this model.

The boots will make a great accessory to your wardrobe. Please consider that the boots are not a snow, winter or rain boots. The boots are a true dress causal style item. You may need to add a separate pair of waterproof dress or dress causal boots or snow boots to your wardrobe if you live in a cold or rainy climate. The boots are rather ruggedly built, but they are not clunky. They may feel a little stiff during your first two wearing, but they will soon loosen-up and begin to feel more and more comfortable. The boots will look quite stylist with a pair of jeans or with a pair of very nice dress slacks. The boots has the appearance of a much more expensive pair. Please purchase a neutral color shoe shine sponge or a sponge the color of the boots in order to keep your boots looking their maximum best. The only issue I have with the boots is that they often come untied due to the apparent waxing on the laces; however, inexpensive replacement laces from Amazon or your local store will take care of that.

I had purchased this in size 9W - too large; there seems to be no standard sizing in shoes now. I was going to try 8 1/2W, but for some reason that size was $55.00 more than every other size! I called Amazon - no real explanation, other than maybe every size other than 8 1/2W was on sale. I don't think so - no sale! If the price comes down to match the rest of the inventory, I'll try again.New review for the size 8 1/2W: After I inquired about the pricing with Amazon, I noticed that the size I wanted - 8 1/2W had it's price lowered to $106 and all the other sizes got adjusted up to $106 from $79. Coincidence? Anyhow I went with the new price and am pretty satisfied. I would say that the shoe is made somewhat large, though. I have a pair of Rockport dress waterproof chukkas which are size 9W, and they fit well - but these "classic break" chukkas in 8 1/2 are actually longer than those 9's by about 1/4" - but fit OK. Nice looking shoe - just what I wanted.

These shoes are not horrible. they are built decent, look good, and are light on the foot. Now the down side. Worse than most third- world made shoes, these shoes aren't just smaller than standard UK or USA size standard, they are extremely narrow. Than God I listened to another reviewer that said to buy them wide. GOOD CALL FOR TWO REASONS! 1/ the wide size offers a nice and roomy toe box and arch support for a standard male D width and 2/ there is NO arch support in these shoes at all (thanks to yet another reviewer for mentioning that need- got mine!). I bought the shoes right alongside a pair of Dr. Scholls basic arch inserts and it literally transforms the shoes from being a torture device to a comfortable, casual work shoe that you can tolerate all day. Tjhe soles are soft and so they wear down wherever you slide or drag your feet, but thats to be expected. the uppers have a worn in look immediately which is fine as it fits the shoe, but the lining is man- made so there is sweating in warm weather. So in closing, they are not great but doable for guys with big feet, as long as you get wide sizing. I am a 14D standard width foot all day long and I definitely needed the wide on these.

I normally don't write reviews, but I love these. There's no break-in period. They fit perfect. Well made and good priced business casual boot. Thanks Rockport.

I read other reviews before I wrote one...this is not the shoe you buy if u r looking for real boots...this is a chukka style...with a higher profile...in other words...these are shoes...the leather is I think made to stay uniform longer than to be soft to touch...the leather feels like lower to mid tier dress shoe leather...If ur looking for something like a Thursday boot...or durable, winter ready leather...look elsewhere...but I loved mines for the purpose!...PS...im in FL...send up very good to rain in my opinionVery comfortable...no need to buy wide...
