Oban Chukka Boot

Upper: Calf leather (Black, Brown) or calf suede (Brown Suede) Design: Classic cut 2-eyelet chukka boot Footbed: Full sheep leather footbed over eco foam Insole: Hygienic insole with shock absorption Sole: Rubber studded impact density sole with storm welt and bronze stitch The Oban is a classic cut chukka boot, two eyelets and a clean line, offered in Black or Brown calf leather and in Brown calf suede. Material & Design: The two-eyelet chukka is the most pared back boot there is, which is why the material does the talking. Smooth calf in Black or Brown keeps it sharp enough for the office, while the Brown calf suede softens the whole boot for the weekend. A storm welt with bronze stitch runs round the sole on all three. Interior Comfort: A full sheep leather footbed sits over eco foam, with a hygienic insole beneath it that absorbs the shock of each step. The result is cushioning you notice on hard pavements and a boot that beds in to the foot over the first few wears. Sole & Signature Touches: The rubber studded impact density sole grips wet pavement and wears well through a British winter. Signature John White branding to the heel sock and sole waist adds a discreet finishing detail. Finishing Details: A chukka is the least demanding boot in the wardrobe, low enough to wear with anything and quick to get on. Part of the John White Rogues line for autumn and winter 2026, alongside the Bale Chelsea Boot and the Aviemore Brogue Boot. Frequently Asked Questions How do the Oban Chukka Boots fit, should I size up? The Oban runs true to UK full sizes. John White Shoes stocks full sizes only, so if you normally take a half size in other brands, order the full size above, for example, a 9.5 wearer should choose a 10. What leather are the Oban boots made from, and are they lined? The Oban is available in calf leather (Black or Brown) and calf suede (Brown Suede). The boot features a full sheep leather footbed over eco foam, so the fit against your foot is natural and breathable from day one. Can I wear the Oban Chukka Boot to a smart-casual office or a wedding? Yes, the clean two-eyelet silhouette sits comfortably at smart-casual and business-casual dress codes. The calf leather versions work well with tailored trousers or chinos; the suede reads slightly more relaxed and suits weekend wear or country events. How should I care for the Oban, and will the leather age well? For the calf leather versions, use a matching cream polish or wax and buff regularly to maintain water resistance and build a patina over time. The suede version benefits from a suede protector spray applied before first wear, and a suede brush to lift the nap after use, avoid standard shoe polish on suede.
