Amazon.com Product Description

In a handsome twist on the traditional Chukka boot, this luxurious suede version sports a slightly rounded toe, rubber sole, and classic three-eyelet lacing. Its low-slung design sits at the ankle to give you unrestrictive coverage, providing comfort and support without the commitment of a full-calf boot. Best of all, its smooth, masculine style dresses up your favorite jeans--which means you can relax without feeling underdressed.

This is a pretty good shoe. Yes, it is constructed in China, but the wool and sheepskin are from Australia. (Caveat: It is 2011, and unless it states otherwise, one must assume everything is made in China.)

The construction of the show seems pretty durable. The sole and leather seem to be sewn and glued together well. I'm curious to see which wears out first. It looks somewhat large when wearing it, which isn't good or bad, just a thing. There is a tuff of wool where the heel of your foot would ordinarily rub, which is a nice addition. When I wear dressier shoes in this style, i end up with raw skin or blisters after a few hours, regardless brand, sizing, socks, etc. In contrast, these have been a joy to wear.

The odd thing is that these shoes have very little padding in the sole. Despite this, they are still comfortable to wear around the house and office (though I may rescind that if I had to walk around for several hours straight). There is also no lining in the main body of the shoe. Despite this, I've been wearing them outside this winter and have yet to get cold feet.

While I do like these, I only bought them because they were at a very good price. I do recommend them, just not at retail prices.

I got these boots in black for 70% off. For 40 bucks, these shoes were a steal. They look great and are pretty comfortable. Size runs a little big, but shouldn't be too bad. There is only wool lining towards the back of the heel, so it would've been better if the whole inside had wool lining, but oh well.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very dissapointed, January 4, 2011

Very poor shoe, even for $40.

1) There is a TINY bit of lining on the back of the shoe, and the rest of the shoe is uncomfortable and cold material w/ no lining or insulation.

2) Runs a good size larger, I'm a 12.5-13 and the 13's are very big.

3) Made in China. I don't care, but with all the family owned and manufactured and cared for aussie hoopla, you think they would atleast be made there.
