Bruno Marc Men’s Classic Dress Casual Chukka Boots 2.0

Perfect business casual shoes for the office
I got these yesterday and wore them around the house. I normally wear a 10.5 (besides Clarks–I get these in 10) and ordered the 10.5 for these. At first, they felt a bit tight in the toe area. I think this is because the toe box is a bit stiff. However, after wearing them all day today at work, I find they are perfect.
I feel the quality of this shoes is great: (1) the leather is very nice and appears to be of high quality; (2) the soles are comfortable and grip linoleum floors well; and (3) the wax covered shoes strings are (a) the perfect length (so not huge bows and strings drooping down) and (b) stay tied due to the wax–this 3rd point is huge for me: not having to buy shoe strings that are the right length (or worst yet, cutting them!) and that stay tied.
I have been wearing these ankle-type boots (I have all three colors of the Docker Rowan Rugged Causal Boots and highly recommend them) and won’t go back to regular oxfords, etc., as I don’t like the back of the shoes rubbing against the back of my ankles. Plus, I just feel a bit more rugged with the ankle boots. Just a preference.
The only thing to consider is that it’s hard finding a belt that matches this color (which are the same in real life as they are in the photos). I searched Amazon and thought about getting a Timberland brand wheat color belt (I have several Timberland belts and love them), but felt it was a bit lighter than the shoes. The shoes seem to be more orangish (I guess that’s what camel color is) than yellowish (of the wheat color). After some searching, I found these on Belts.com: Men’s Replacement Belt Strap 100% Genuine Leather Plain Casual Belt Strap with Snaps 1-1/2″(38mm) Wide. (I already had a buckle from buying from Belt.com years ago. Also, I find these belts to be of high quality). This tan colored belt seems to be close to the shoes’ camel color. I’ll give an update once I get the belt.
Finally, I can’t believe these shoes are less than $40. They look, to me, to be the same as shoes $80-100 or more. Anyway, I’m very happy with them and will buy the brown ones as well.
Update (May 24, 2024): The tan belt I mentioned above was too light in color. So I got a darker tan one from Belts.com (BS040-P3588 One Piece Genuine Full Grain Leather Casual Jean Belt 1-1/2″ (38mm) Wide) which is a closer match to the camel colored shoes.
I also bought brown and black pairs of these shoes as well. I like the brown the best, then the camel, then the black (I just wish the sole was darker instead of grey).

Nice shoes for a great price
I got the natural suede as I think that’s the best look for suede chukkas. They look good but not too dressy, so they can go with anything from jeans to chinos. The suede leather is fairly thin but looks good and should hold up well. The toe, while pointed, is not too extreme. The fit for me was perfect in my normal size. There’s no liner but they are comfortable and the elastic at the top rear helps when putting them on. I treated them with suede sealer for water resistance and they absorbed it without issue. I have a pair of brown leather Clarks chukkas and these do not look out of place next to them. I think of these as my summer chukkas, which means much of the year in Florida. For the price I think they are a fantastic value.

Comfortable and stylish
These are comfortable and look great. The top of the heel is elastic and makes putting them on and taking them off a simple affair.

Nice boot but cut too small.
Very nice boot with a very stylish look. However, cut is too small. Need to size up at least one half size.

These shoes were comfortable as soon as you put them on. I normally wear 7.5 UK size but went for an 8 as they looked a bit narrower than my old boots.
Very pleased

These shoes are very smart!
They look amazing on my son.
When they arrived the shoes are packed individually in a nice fabric bag inside the box.
They fit perfectly.
Very pleased.
