Eastland Men's Lumber UP Chukka Boot, Oxblood, 11 Review
The Eastland Men's Lumber UP Chukka Boot is a quintessential addition to any man's footwear collection. Handcrafted with exceptional attention to detail, this boot not only embodies classic American craftsmanship but also offers unmatched comfort and durability. The distressed, full-grain leather uppers provide that sought-after worn-in feel from the moment you slip them on.
One of the standout features of these boots is the triple reinforced hand-stitching, which significantly enhances their durability in high-wear areas. This thoughtful construction ensures that they can withstand the rigors of daily use without compromising on style or support.
Additionally, the two-tone Taslan laces are designed to be reinforced, allowing you to achieve a personalized fit that feels just right. Inside, the fleece linings wick moisture away, promoting a healthy environment for your feet, even during extended wear.
The EVA footbed provides superior shock absorption, reducing foot and leg fatigue, which is crucial for those who spend long hours on their feet. Complementing this is a supportive shank situated below the footbed that offers stability with every step.
Finally, the lightweight outsole crafted from a rubber and EVA combination ensures excellent traction, making these boots suitable for various terrains.

I haven't worn boots in a while and was a little hesitant. But these boots are so comfortable it's almost like wearing sneakers. I was blown away! I was expecting them to be a little oversized and clunky but actually the exact opposite. Hopefully this "comfort" doesn't mean the won't last a while. The ONLY drawback is I bought 10 Wide shoes and they were a LITTLE snug, not as wide as I'd hoped. But definitely wearable without even being broken in. Maybe I should have gone up one size but nothing worth exchanging them over. So if you want WIDE, you may want to investigate a bit further. But if you want a boot you can actually walk around in and not look forward to taking off, these may be it!
Best boots for ridding, light weight and comfort and looks great .. this is my third pair..
As the time of this writing, the Redwings 6-inch moc-toe boot is all the rage. If you're getting these strictly for style, these are virtually identical to the Redwings as far as the look, and for a third of the price. My issue with the Redwings is the close to $300 price tag (which I can afford but can't stomach) and the fact that they take 2-4 months to break in, which I don't have the patience or wherewithal for. They're also a heavy boot. These Eastland boots are well made, comfortable, affordable, true to size, and there's minimal break in. It's a soft leather that's comfortable right out of the box. They look fantastic with jeans or khakis, especially with a slim or tapered leg opening. You'll lose out on the aesthetics with "Dad jeans." Again, if wearing strictly as a casual boot for style, this is a great bet. For actual construction work or the like, Redwings might be a better choice.
I'm really glad I bought this as a first moc toe. I paid $75 on sale, and I'm glad I did. These look great and feel good. They will stretch out and they are not built for work, only casual wear. Do not buy these at full price. Anything $90 and below is good. Since I've broken them in they stretch. I bought a second pair 1 size down but in a wide because I like wide toe boxes. They look good, but will not last over a year for a man like me who's 6'5"/260lbs. These are fashion, and for me a great starter moc toe. Wait for a sale and get a pair for casual comfort wear. They are really bad in grip for rain, so be careful
Love my boots I used the Sno-Seal beeswax waterproofing product
I got these for my husband about a year ago and a LOT of research went into them. He loves them and has basically worn them everyday to work. They are NOT construction boots. But he doesn’t work construction. He tells me they are very comfortable and the sole has not worn down as much as some reviews had suggested. They are semi prone to scuffing but they are leather so it is to be expected.Great quality, great comfort, fit is great. Whenever these wear out I will get him another pair. He really loves them a lot!
Didny even last 2 months! Horrible quality. Very slippery as well! Fallling apar!
Are they Goodyear welted? No. Are the uppers Horween leather? No. Do they cost $70 and look great? Yes.
