Similar to their desert boot cousins in terms of height, size, and shape, the Chukka boot became an important casual footwear in the mid 20th century, and continues to be a casual staple in this day and age. Unlike desert boots with crepe soles, the Chukka boots come in rubber or leather soles, which make them a classier and sturdier alternative. Whether you need to dress up or down, you can always get away with a pair of leather Chukkas.
Often used interchangeably with brogue, a wingtip is actually a type of brogue boot, characterized by intricately patterned perforations and detailed stitching. More commonly seen in formal settings, the wingtips are traditionally matched with suits and look best in black or chestnut leather.

After making a comeback in the recent years, it’s hard to imagine not having a pair of these 19th century classics. The ankle-high, close fitting Chelseas were originally made for Queen Victoria by shoemaker J. Sparkes – Hall. The boots rose to even more prominence during the 1960s, when the Beatles started the trend of suits paired with Chelseas.
The boots are characterized by their elastic side panels, making them even easier to slip on. The simplicity of its design makes the Chelsea very easy to incorporate into the modern-day wardrobe.
A real game-changer, the duck boots are a perfect combination of comfort and functionality, thanks to L.L. Bean who came with his feet soaking after a hunting trip. Designed to keep your feet protected from rain or snow, the duck boots are a must-keep, especially during the winter seasons.
While modern iterations of the boot are being produced, they originally come with leather uppers and brown rubber bottoms.
Finally, hiking boots deserve our number one spot because of their extreme versatility and durability. While definitely made with the outdoor guys in mind, these bad boys can be used to trek the city as well.
