Black Chukka Dainite - 675
Pick your size to see when your pair will arrive
A black chukka boot is the one that goes anywhere, and this is the one that goes anywhere in November. Two eyelets, open lacing, a clean ankle-height line in deep box-calf black, finished smooth for an even shine. The upper is top-grade European box calf; the 675 last underneath gives the almond toe real volume, so the foot settles in over a long day. Every Chukka is made by our artisans in a workshop in Almansa, Goodyear welted, one pair at a time. Underfoot is a Dainite rubber sole, made in England, the one men ask for by name: it holds on wet ground, it wears down slowly, and it puts a dress boot on the street on days you would otherwise plan around.
Wear it with charcoal and a topcoat, or with dark denim on the weekend. Black asks nothing of the rest of what you own; the sole means the weather asks nothing of the boot.
The black boot for the half of the year that doesn't cooperate.

Toe shape: Almond · Fit: Roomy · Sizing: True to size
The shoe reads balanced, clean, and classically European. The almond toe is generous — there is real volume in the toe box, well-formed and slightly domed — but it resolves into an elegant roundness that never becomes aggressive or pointed.
Compared to the 722, the 675 has more body: the foot breathes, the toes settle with natural ease. Compared to a round-toe last, it still has definition — the toe has its own character. The result is a shoe that looks serious without effort, with harmonious proportions that work with a suit, chinos, or even dark denim.
The English last in its most balanced form: presence without drama, elegance without posturing.
Two eyelets, an ankle-high shaft, open lacing, nothing more.
A chukka boot is the least complicated boot in the range and, for a lot of men, the most useful — light enough to wear from March to November, closed enough to look intentional with a jacket. Polo gave it the name; the desert gave it the reputation.
It sits exactly between a derby and a proper boot, which is why it works with chinos on a Friday and with a suit on a cold Tuesday.
Ours are built in European calfskin and English suede, on soles that run from leather to lugged rubber depending on how hard you plan to wear them.
A Dainite sole is a studded rubber sole, and the most discreet way to make a dress shoe all-weather. The studs sit proud of the sole so water and grit clear instead of packing in, which is why it grips wet ground without the bulk or the noise of a lugged sole.
Seen from the side it is barely deeper than leather, so the shoe still reads formal — the practicality is on the bottom, where nobody is looking.
Choose it for a shoe that has to cross a wet car park at eight and still belong in the room at nine.
