Allister Caine Chukka #2

A very well constructed shoe, but I screwed up sizing because I didn't check my last, so no inlays.

I maybe wouldn't have needed a second pair. They didn't see that much use so this year I will focus on making one pair of boots or shoes.

More about this item

I just happened to make a chukka on my first last. After finding out I can do an akimbo TD of course I did, having two pairs fresh from the shelf.

Why I own this

Style

I just like chukkas. The first well constructed shoe that tickled something in my brain was a vintage camel desert boot with thick leather and massive crepe soles. It is only natural to come back to this style for me I'd say.

Ordering process

I made them on the fly, when I had nothing else to do. Wanted to wear them on a buddies wedding, but I contracted covid.... Fml. Price is only materials!
