Alden^® for J.Crew unlined chukka boots in suede

Received the wrong order and the chukkas sold out before I could get a replacement. Customer service did help me out a little with some adjustments.

The J.Crew version of the Alden 1493 chukka boots strikes a great balance. The original Alden chukka boots lean a bit too dressy, with thinner laces and no brass eyelets. The brass eyelets and thicker laces on the J.Crew version make the boots feel more casual and give them a slightly rugged, workwear-inspired look. Because of that, they pair well with more dressed-down outfits and work with just about any type of pants.

The detail of the shoes are quite underwhelming, however, the shoes are still beautiful.
