Chukka boot

Common card · No. 221454

Chukka boots () are ankle-high leather boots with suede or leather uppers, leather, wooden or rubber soles, and open lacing, with two or three pairs of eyelets. The name chukka possibly comes from the game of polo, where a chukka is a period of play. Originally, "chukka boot" referred to a form of desert boots worn by British soldiers stationed in India. Nowadays, however, they are very similar to the chelsea, only laces at the front. A number of shoe shops use the names chukka and chelsea for either boot.
