When you're looking for a boot to take on the spring rains, listen to what a friend in Seattle said: "I live in my Chukkas for at least 7 months a year because the steel shanks support my arches, the insoles cushion my every step, and they never smell bad... and of course they keep me dry no matter how long I'm out in a downpour."  Add in the handmade, non-tracking Tractor Tread rubber outsoles, and you have perfect rainy day footwear.  3.0 lbs.  Made in Thailand.
