You don't have to be a fedora-wearing archeologist to appreciate the versatility of the original adventure shoe: the chukka. Tough enough to outrun angry natives but sharp enough for dinner at the embassy later, Columbia's Vizza Chukka is an ankle boot built for both wild and civil escapades. A full-grain, stain-resistant leather upper with Omni-Shield advanced repellency treatment looks classic while keeping stains and moisture at bay. At the ankle, a padded collar adds comfort and a folded and riveted heel tab facilitates easy on-and-off. The Contour Comfort footbed provides a soft, supportive ride while AgION anti-odor treatment works to keep the interior of the boot inhabitable after it becomes your everyday shoe (and it will). A midsole crafted from Columbia's exclusive Techlite material offers up lightweight cushioning, paired with solid traction ensured by the non-marking Omni-Grip outsole. Thanks to the Vizza Chukka, looking good while making the most of the outdoors is no longer a lost art.

Nice looking, comfortable, well-built
The shoe appears well constructed and I like the look of it. It is both lighter and roomier than I expected. I appreciate the room because I broke my big left toe once and I've needed a little bit more ever since. I'm still breaking them in, but I expect they will be my favorite shoes.
