This review posted about the SUREWAY Chukka Boots

Mar 28,2025 | Chad Sureway

 Love them! Seem true to size

I am rushing a little to get this review posted about the SUREWAY Chukka Boots as I want to provide some sizing context. And I will update if my first impression changes. But, after one week, I am impressed with these shoes and I love them. They have become a favorite almost right away.
For fit, I normally wear a 10.5 or 11, depending on the manufacturer. I ordered an 11 with these chukkas and the fit seems to be about perfect. There's just a bit of loose room in the toe, but nothing that makes it uncomfortable. I'm not sure if the 10.5 would have been perfect or too tight, but these do seem to be fairly true to size.
I wasn't fond of the way they have the laces arranged but in just a few seconds that is corrected to a way that works for me. I was able to wear these shoes right away for an entire day and they were comfortable throughout the day. My feet did get a little warm since they are a thick leather shoes, especially when walking inside a building, but there are no hot spots or blisters at all on my feet. The sole is thick but the rubber is flexible enough to feel broken in straight out of the box. The chukkas come with an extra sole insert (foot bed) which provides decent arch support (not really high, but comfortable overall) and can be swapped as they wear out. The leather is great quality and all of the stitching looks tight and straight. I'm not a huge fan of the animal embossed on the side, but it isn't a deal breaker for me either. If even noticed, it sort of blends into the leather boot vibe.
I haven't fully tested their claims of being waterproof as I haven't gone out of my way to step in deep water. But, as the snow was melting this week, these shoes did a fabulous job with traction and I didn't get my socks wet. So, I'm happy to verify them as being highly water-resistant, at least. Overall, I really like the style, quality, and comfort of these chukkas and I can highly recommend them.

High Quality Chukka Boots with Top Grain Leather
I am very enthusiastic about these Sureway branded Chukka boots. First off, I admired the quality of the leather uppers. As advertised, these boots are made from top grain leather that is fused or glued to the boot soles. These are high quality boots, but a higher quality boot would have the leather uppers stitched to the soles. I normally wear size 12, but I have often noted that imported shoes run small and I ordered size 13 since there was no 12-1/2 offering.

I now believe that size 12 might have worked because these boots seem to be true to size. However, I don't mind my shoes being slighter larger than necessary but I never want them to be smaller than necessary. Besides, these are fall and winter shoes that I will wear in cold weather with thick woolen socks or double socks as necessary.

The aggressive rubber bottoms are perfect for walking on winter ice and snow. These boots are very well styled and nice looking. I will enjoy wearing these boots to church, work and during personal errands. The shoe laces are nice and thick. I like that there are only two lace holes per side of each shoe. That makes these shoes fast to put on and lace up as I get ready to hit the road in the morning.

This is a high top, full grain leather Chukka that is warm, comfortable and slip resistant. I like that Sureway always includes a pair of foam inserts with their shoes. Those inserts can be used to obtain a custom fit. I could use those inserts to effectively make these size 13s fit like size 12-1/2, but right now, I am wearing very thick socks and I appreciate the extra toe room. 5 stars for a high quality Chukka that I can highly recommend as providing high value at the $100 price point.

 many great features with this boot- five stars
When it comes to boots, usually I try to avoid having too many pairs, because it is hard for me to find the right style I like. The idea of having that extra amount of material surrounding the foot region, will appeal to me if there is a comfort level that is acceptable. Being that I am on my feet a lot with my regular workout schedule, I like to take the extra weight off of my feet during casual walking around town, while engaging in everyday errands.
Ohio weather will unfortunately bring unavoidable coldness, to where I will need that sort of unavoidable extra padding that boots have. Being that I like to have interesting looking footwear, the boot I choose needs to have a synthesis of Confort and style.
Finding this awesome pair of boots from the Sureway brand was discovered just in time for the weather patterns to become intense. This boot is the real deal because it is focused on foot comfort while not being of the constricted chukka boot type but a looser alternative that looks very cool. It has a handmade sort of look that combines a driving shoe style with a chukka boot then a regular minimal type of boot. It then has a style that makes it fashionable with the brown leather having a rippled design. The brand decal appears on the side in an elegant way that blends in just right.
What makes this a driving shoe fusion, is the extended front rubber part, which is a standout thing with driving shoes. I love that because it helps car pedals from tearing up the shoes.
The brown color is the best leather color I can think of for a design like this so, I am very happy with the color chosen.
I like the grip on these which work with the topography where I live in an agreeable way.
I can tell this is made by people who know how to make an all-around five-star boot/shoe.
