Allister Caine Chukka #2

Cowboy

Sitting in my shop, tackling the first repair of my brothers bespoke boots. The god damn contilite wouldn't hold and developed air bubbles. The heels were cheap PU thst I had lying around but not it will be vibram tank studs for the forefoot and itshide commando heels, those will last. For the action shots, I put a good bit of leather wax on my boots , to make em look clean and nice for their graduation! 😎

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 did you choose this item?

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.

What was the 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!
