SPLURGE - Alden Chukka Boot - $415

A pair of Chukka boots are an essential for every man's wardrobe. I would say I wear my John Varvatos pair I got a few years ago at least twice a week, and have the scuff marks and repaired soles to prove it.

This Alden tan suede, leather lined boot will go perfectly with jeans and a T-shirt, or dress pants and a sports coat. Each Alden shoe is handmade, a detail that is hard to find nowadays in the world of fast fashion and mass market retail, and one that really shows in the construction, look, and feel of the shoe. While the price tag may be alarming, the wear you'll get out of these bad boys is definitely worth it. Splurge.

SAVE - Sperry for J.Crew Boat Shoe - $98




The classic Sperry Boat Shoe is an essential for any truly sartorial man's wardrobe. I've looked around for a similar shoe that could compare and nothing can beat the great looking leather and the comfortable design of Sperrys. I snagged a pair of these Sperry for J. Crew shoes the other day. Their specially worn in leather, hand contrast stitching, and great price (only $95 on jcrew.com now) make them a must have.


(This is my pair after only one day of use)


If you are looking for something a little edgier, J. Crew also collaborated with Sperry on a pair of Chukka boots that look great with jeans ($125).
