What’s your favorite chukka?

@Retrakk 4 месяца назад

Clarks Wallabees.

@StrayReviews 4 месяца назад

@@Retrakk Nice choice!

@Dealingwithidiotsonadailybasis 25 дней назад

@@StrayReviews Astorflex are more comfortable, I have both.

@Mercurio2012 17 дней назад

I am a chukka lover and wear different brands and models such as Loake Pimlico and Kempton, Heschung Genet, Church’s Ryder, Rider Boots Fleming, and Sanders Hi Top, among others. I prefer to differentiate between "chukka" and "dessert boots", even though they are very close models.

@StrayReviews 16 дней назад

@@Mercurio2012 Nice! What would be the biggest difference between dessert boots and chukka boots?

@Dealingwithidiotsonadailybasis 25 дней назад

I have Loake shoes, Clarks, Solovair, and Astorflex are my favourite shoes, I have Blue suede and they are so comfortable. You are spot on about the minor cons.

@StrayReviews 25 дней назад

Nice! These are actually on tap for me to wear this weekend. Great shoes!

@p4r1p 4 месяца назад

I have had their Greenflex for more than a year and I'm very happy with them, particularly because the crepe sole on the Greenflex is of a darker color, which makes the staining much less visible. All in all, a very nice chukka option.

@StrayReviews 4 месяца назад

Very nice!

@TheAlanzoid 26 дней назад

I have mine too 3 years ago, and still loving them, nd yes the crepe sole turned darker too, but looks great!

@MrSilvervw 4 месяца назад

Fantastic content 👌 👏 👍

@brianpride8677 4 месяца назад

I think the MOVE insoles are some of the best. I like the Move All Day model. It’s a little thicker than their other offerings, but it’s very comfortable. I put them in some boots, and they made them feel like sneakers.

@StrayReviews 4 месяца назад

Very nice! I’m going to take a look.

@Christopher_Stead 4 месяца назад

I have these in the ebano nubuck and I like them a lot. Definitely an improvement quality-wise over Clark’s. No real arch support, but I love how lightweight they are. They made me realize I just don’t like wearing heavy, clunky service boots. I like to feel nimble in my shoes!

@StrayReviews 4 месяца назад

Yep, I appreciate them for the same reason.

@cowboyboots666 4 месяца назад

Looks good 👍

@StrayReviews 4 месяца назад

@williamkelly1519 4 месяца назад

Great shoes. I have two pairs. Tan suede and Brown leather. Comfortable and goes w/everything.

@StrayReviews 4 месяца назад

Great choices!

@MisterKnightly 4 месяца назад

This is a very good review. I've always liked these boots, though sadly they don't come in wide, so these days I'm out of luck.

@StrayReviews 4 месяца назад

They’re decently wide but I don’t think wide enough if you’re a EE or EEE.

@Retrakk 4 месяца назад

My favourite insoles are alpaca wool insoles. They form to your feet somewhat like leather/cork, are warm but breathable, and lightweight.

@StrayReviews 4 месяца назад

Nice! I haven’t heard of those. I’ll have to check them out.

@Bloodstryke 4 месяца назад

I ordered some Adelante chukka boots. I'm waiting for them to arrive. These Astorflex books look kind of chunky for my taste. I prefer a narrower last profile.

@StrayReviews 4 месяца назад

Those Adelantes look nice!

@zwaimatika6354 4 месяца назад

Nice shoes..but I like them with a khaki chinos..nicely explained too

@StrayReviews 4 месяца назад

Thanks Zwai!

@Phlowur 4 месяца назад

Great review! Do you know if they have a shank? I find crepe soles can be a little unsupportive if they don't have a shank.

@StrayReviews 4 месяца назад

I don’t think these have a shank. At least not that I can tell.

@Phlowur 4 месяца назад

@@StrayReviews Thankyou! 😃

@FD-dh2fu 2 месяца назад

Great info are they slim or wide fitting? Thank you.

@StrayReviews 2 месяца назад

I would say they fit more on the wide side.

@eliasknapp5391 2 месяца назад

Hey I'm between size 43 and 44. Should i get the 43 or 44? Do they run big or small?

@StrayReviews 2 месяца назад

Great question! I tend to size up in those situations since I can always drop in a footbed to customize the fit if I need to.

@tripletdadplusone 4 месяца назад

I would argue that your feet should not be in super comfortable sneakers all the time. I prefer a crepe shoe for a lot of my travels due to versatility. These look great and I will consider a smooth leather or chromexcel.

@jonhdew3292 4 месяца назад

Why would you argue that your feet shouldn't be comfortable?

@StrayReviews 4 месяца назад

I’m finding crepe to be nice when I’m on my feet a lot. Nice and squishy.

@tripletdadplusone 4 месяца назад

@jonhdew3292 when I was training for a marathon I realized that the longer I padded and kept my feet comfortable, the less my feet healed and recovered from long training. Walking barefoot ended up making me recover from training way faster than using recovery sandals and sneakers. I'm not saying don't wear sneakers, just make sure you are not doing it all the time.

@Christopher_Stead 4 месяца назад

It’s an interesting argument, and I’m inclined to agree. I’ve been alternating between sneakers and penny mocs (the Oak Street ones) lately and the moccasins have much, much less cushioning and squish. Hopefully that’s a good thing.

@sigmundklaus Месяц назад

agree, my feet get more sore after a long day of strolling around in "comfy" sneakers compared to having a whole days walk in boots

@sigmundklaus Месяц назад

does anyone happen to know what is the difference between brownflex and greenflex?

@StrayReviews Месяц назад

I wasn’t able to find the Greenflex on Huckberry. Maybe discontinued?

@sigmundklaus Месяц назад

@@StrayReviews well I am looking to buy a pair of 'these' chukkas in Europe. All shops stock a greenflex... now most reviews on youtube (mostly not made by European youtubers) are about the brownflex :) .... so I don't know... maybe it is just a naming convention? Maybe the color before the 'flex' does not matter? Maybe it does? I don't know.

@StrayReviews Месяц назад

@@sigmundklaus Ah, cool. That may be the case. 👍

@ericcruz1479 3 месяца назад

Does it have a shank?

@StrayReviews 3 месяца назад

Great question. I haven’t been able to find any information about that so I assume the answer is no.

@biomez 4 месяца назад

these are just clark's desert boots though right?

@StrayReviews 4 месяца назад

Pretty similar for sure.

@Mercurio2012 17 дней назад

Using the name of Steve McQueen to sell Astorflex is not an ethical way of doing it. It would help if you mentioned that the chukka he wears was the Sanders HiTop, aka the Playboy chukka.

@StrayReviews 17 дней назад

Great point. I actually tried to get ahold of a pair of Sanders for this video but no luck.
