Why We Love This Deal
Unlike most lace-up boots or even Chelsea boots, the chukka has a sort of refined nature that blends in more easily with both smart casual and lax office environments, especially from fall to spring. The problem is that most chukka boots aren’t suited for rain, and for commuters, that can mean irreparable damage. Thankfully, Sorel makes a chukka boot that’s seam-sealed and ready for nature’s worst, and right now, they’re on sale at Zappos.
With a savings of 40% off their full price of $190, the Sorel Madison II Chukka Boots are now just $114 at Zappos. Ruggedly built with a slim silhouette that perfectly balances form and function, these boots are made for anybody who commutes or has to walk around rainy cities.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Colors: 4, 3 on sale at varying prices
- Sizes: 7 to 14
- Materials: Leather
Thanks to these boots’ seam-sealed construction, you get a waterproof but still stylish design without looking like you’re wearing your grandpa’s rain boots. And even though it’s made with leather, water will just bead right off, making them excellent to wear on days when the weather might be unpredictable.
Zappos customers report that these boots fit pretty true to size, but they may feel better with a wool sock. And, as is the case with most leather boots, there will likely be a small break-in period that’s needed, but once done, they should fit like a glove, and get better with each wear thereafter.
