Alden unlined chukkas

[cyrusir]

having admired these for sometime i think this winter is the year to buy them, at £600 they are pretty pricey for some chukkas! anyone got any tips on shaving a little off?

I have a vague recollection before of someone mentioning to me a code you can use on a first order from trunk or kafka?

Phew £600 what do they do ?
All due respect but they don’t even look warm or waterproof. But that may just be my ignorance

You just resole them like any other quality leather shoe

They are nice, but..

The £6c will buy you nearly 2x pairs of Cheaney Garforths which are just about the best made chukkas available, without going bespoke.

styling doesnt do it for me on those, they look like my loake pimlicos which are nice but the alden are a little different.

For that money I'd rather have a pair of Church Shanghais tbh.

No offence to anyone but paying £600 for a pair of boots or shoes seems crazy to me. I recently bought a pair of Merrell boots for £85 and nearly balked at that.

I have a pair of Chesney so +1 and for 120 pound you can return them when they need a freshen up after a year or 2

Do you mean as well as the 15% discount that appears on the link you've posted?

I paid £600 for some Indys and couldn't find a way of getting them much cheaper as so few places sell them in the Uk and they know it

Have a look at the Loake 1880 Pimlico chukka boot. Lined & with a dainite sole for a third of the price. The Aldens look like a glorified Clarke’s desert boot to me.
