User Reviews
I cannot say there wa a thing I did not like about thr boots.
It's difficult for me to criticize these Florsheim Men's Foundry Plain Toe Chukka Boots because this is the third pair I've bought (well, actually 4th because of a return due to the wild fit inconsistencies of these things.As I understand it, there are three different colors of this model which use two differently tanned leathers for their product.The first pair of these I bought are marked size 10.5 but they fit like an 11.5. I kept them despite having to use an insert and heavy socks in order to make them fit. This is because the Smooth Brown Horween Chromexcel Leather used in the Made in India boots is Fantastic and nearly Bullet Proof.Based on the sizing error, the next pair I bought was the Green ones in a Size 10, which fit perfectly my widish 10.5 feet. The leather of these shoes was far more textured and granular and was tanned in England from Africa-sourced leather by a company of long-standing virtue. These shoes were sewn in China and are comparable in quality to the India-made Brown ones above and only slightly inferior on a few counts (boot strap tab is smaller, leather lining trim is narrower and thinner, etc.)Needing a third pair to, ahem, step in as a replacement of the Brown ones which are close to the end of their life after being reheeled once, I ordered the present pair of Black Chromexcell leather Chukkas in size 10.5 after having to return a size 10 pair I bought based on the fit of the other pair I own.These are Made in India, meaning they have the longer, functional boot strap and the thicker split grain interior lining of my first pair. It appears as though, after getting caught flat-footed the Florsheim QC department kicked in to gear and fixed the wrong-sized boots issue as these 10.5's fit like 10.5's. The leather is stated to be the Chromaxcel but it has a look and feel entirely different from the first pair of Smooth Leather boots I received. I prefer that smooth finish, while the exterior finish on these Black boots feels rough and textured. I kind of don't know what to make of them, but I have to say, based on my three prior purchases, I am likely to order another pair of these Florsheim Men's Foundry Plain Toe Chukka Boots.
