American-made chukkas for those who accept nothing less than authentic, handmade perfection
With its unmatched versatility, the chukka boot may be the best thing to happen to menswear since the five-pocket jean—and in the hands of the leather artisans at Yuketen, the iconic style gets the treatment it deserves. Landing somewhere between a shoe and a boot, the Maine Guide Chukka is one of Yuketen’s most challenging handsewn moccasins, and they execute it beautifully. Using premium oiled Horween Chromepak leather, Yuketen’s proprietary last, and decades of leathercraft experience, each boot is handmade in their Maine workshop and finished with a crepe sole.
