Picked up a pair of charcoal/burgundy chukkas from momentum the other day. Going to skate them in place of my torn up tres. Hopefully they are as good as Ryan says.

Shoe A
The Chukka low
If you read Dallas's post below you will see that the Tre is very durable and has unsatisfying feel. Basically the Chukka low is the exact opposite of that. It has the best feel and I know that many core skaters choose to skate these over others. On the other hand the durability is pretty bad, the vulc sole wears down fast and some Chukka's are made of canvas. The sole is a waffle sole, like most Vans and is pretty grippy. The shoe lasted me less than a month. The shoe is quite breathable and the comfort is there, so don't worry about aching heels.
My parents had purchased them at a Vans outlet in Las Vegas for around thirty dollars American. If you choose to buy a pair of these, I recommend you to size a half size below your true size (if compared to Nike). The Chukka is affordable and I hope to get the black/gum colorway.




The Breakdown
Feel: 10/10
Durability: 5/10
Look: 8/10
Comfortability 7.5/10
Overall: 8/10
