Customer Reviews for Men's Allagash Handsewn Chukka Boots
View Product DetailsCustomer Reviews
What customers say:
Customers overwhelmingly praise the boots for premium full-grain leather, timeless design, and exceptional durability, with most describing them as long-term favorites. The leather softens beautifully with wear and transitions seamlessly from casual to business settings. Many report initial stiffness that resolves into personalized comfort. However, some note recent construction changes—removal of leather lining and padding—cause dye transfer and blisters. Several report fit issues, with boots running small or narrow, and premature sole wear within months of regular use. Despite these concerns, most customers consider them worthwhile investments.

Perfect
Size Purchased: 9
Used for: Hiking
Soft and supple right out of the box! No break-in needed. Definitely get the wide if you can because they do run narrow.

This is a very good looking boot and it is well made. A word of caution, the collar is very stiff and the boot takes some time to break in. You are not going to put these on and sp

Beautiful Boots, but Insoles are Glued Down
Warning - the insoles are securely glued in place. If you wear orthotics and need to remove the stock insole, these boots likely will not work for you. I understand removing the in

Perfect!!!!!!!👌🏾
Size Purchased: 13
Used for: Casual or Every Day
I bought these shoes a month ago, and I’m glad I did. I bought them because they reminded me of Eastland boots that I wore in the early to mid 90’s. They seem to be a lot better.

Classic Chukka
I honestly think these classic chukka boots are overpriced especially since they are foreign sourced (El Salvador) and do not have Vibram lugged soles (hence the 4 stars) but I dec

Boots feel ruff and must break them in. But when you do it's well worth it.
