Finding a good pair of dress shoes has always been a challenge.
In my day to day job, dress shoes are a must as our office dress code is business casual. In the last year, I've went through 2 pairs of Kenneth Cole shoes and was on a pair of Calvin Cline when I randomly found these Timberlands online while shopping for some snow boots. I've read most of the reviews here on Amazon and discovered that not only these can be worn in the office, they can also double as a night time, going-out shoes, so I pulled the trigger.
When they arrived, I was pleasantly surprised by a few things:
- Lightness. These boots are extremely light compared to traditional thick soled dress shoes. The leather is definitely real and soft to the touch.
- Good looks. The pictures here on Amazon are pretty true to the product itself. The brown is deep but not black. And the light brown trim gives them a very modern, chic feel.
- Great support. The soles are very well made. There is a hint of GEL feel to them when first walked on. And they are a little higher than my Calvin Klein so if I wore them out during snow or rain I feel confident that they won't get wet inside. Which brings me to the next point...
- Traction! I did wear them outside during the aftermath of a snow storm and I did not slip all over the place. The soles gripped the ground very well.
- Waterproof. These shoes are worth it for this feature alone.
- Ankle support. This is the first time I bought higher ankle dress shoes and I find this particular style to be very attractive.
- All day comfort. I'm in these almost 10 hours a day and there are no signs of discomfort whatsoever.
Cons:
- If you don't like tying laces every time you put shoes on, these might not be best for you.
- Must be worn with a brown belt. It's just good style form.
I highly recommend these shoes to people who are looking to one-up the boring, traditional black dress shoes. I've gotten many compliments since I started wearing them.

Most comfortable chukka boots for me in comparison test.
Bought 3 different brand of chukka style boots. 1)Clarks Montatcute Duke, 2)Bass Men's Plano 1, 3) Timberland EK Kempton Chukka Snow boots. The Timberland hands down win the comparison. Note: all 3 different brands sizing are off. All are large from their stated size. I had to go a full size down to get the best fit. The Timberland is comfortable right out the box and don't need break in period. The Clarks Montacute Duke is beautiful but uncomfortable, stiff and just rubs the ankles wrong. The Bass Plano is ok but just not good looking enough for me. The Timberland wins the comfort department and it's a good looking as well. This is the best buy. Thank you Amazon Prime for the easy return policy.Remember folks, there are many good looking chukka boots out there but many are not comfortable. Shop around and try them on and compare. Don't settle just on looks, here is one that is good looking and comfortable to boot! I highly recommend this Timberland EK Kempton Chukka.
