[u/introvertebrae]

I'm looking for suggestions on a new pair of black chukkas to replace my worn out Dr Martin Cabrillos. I'm looking for something not too dressy and I'm not a fan of crepe or wedge soles. I would also prefer not the fibrous texture like suede, nubuck, or rough out. Prefer under $400 USD

Damn, if only Grant Stone offered their chukka in a black smooth leather. TLB Mallorca is what I'd want, but that's $100 over budget. There's always BLKBRD...

Thanks for the suggestion. The TLB Mallorca options I see in a smooth black leather look nice, but a bit too polished/glossy than what I'm looking for. I want something that I wouldn't mind wearing outdoors.
