Chukka boots (/ˈtʃʌkə/[1]) are ankle-high leather boots with suede or leather uppers, leather, wooden or rubber soles, and open lacing, with two or three pairs of eyelets.[2] The name chukka possibly comes from the game of polo, where a chukka is a period of play.[3]
Generally, "chukka boot" refers to a form of desert boots originally worn by British soldiers in the Western Desert Campaign of World War II.[3][4]
