It's probably a quality control issue, but my left chukka looks great, though of course it does need a good buffing fairly regularly from easy scuffing. But the right one? I went for a walk in it and when I got home much of it from tongue down to the top part over the front of the foot had changed to a lighter color. Tried saddle soap and shoe polish to no avail, so had it redyed in the hopes that would solve it. Came back flawless so I conditioned both with Leather Honey, but the same thing's happening again only without lightening as many shades. Guess I'll have it redyed once more and, if that doesn't solve it, pitch 'em.
Conversely, I also bought this in black, and that pair are doing just fine.

Nice shoe. It has a great profile and the leather colors nicely with age. I recommend putting some wax on it to condition and protect the leather. It's comfortable to start and gets much better after breaking in after a few days. I agree with other review that this wouldnt be the most durable shoe. You definitely wouldnt wear it every day for a year.

I was immediately disappointed with the quality of these boots when I took them out of the box. The leather had considerable scuffing just from the packaging box alone. I buffed them out and gave them a chance though. After only a couple times of wearing to work in an office, the leather almost looked dried out and faded. The sole is extremely comfortable and the fit is excellent, so I was very disppointed. I will be sending these back and getting a pair of Cole Haan.
