When it comes to smart casual, boot-adjacent silhouettes like chukkas or terra mocs, style might win you over total comfort. However, that doesn’t always have to be the case. That’s where LUCA comes in. The footwear company prides itself on crafting by hand leather shoes that look stylish but feel as supportive and comfortable as your sneakers. Perhaps the model that best embodies the ethos of the brand is the Terra Moc Chukka Sneaker Boot — a shoe that uses so many names to describe itself because it’s truly like nothing else out there.
Available in four natural colorways, the Terra Moc Chukka Sneaker Boot is built with either suede or full-grain nubuck leather uppers sourced from the finest tanneries in Italy. Like all of LUCA’s models, this one has been handmade by artisans in Portugal in a family-owned factory with three generations of know-how.
Pressed by hand for a unique look each time, the soles themselves come from Lactae Havea, who uses virgin hevea milk with raw rubber that’s been harvested from trees in France. These give the shoes a naturally springy sensation that’s unlike other zero-drop sneakers on the market. Thanks to the versatile aesthetic and unique hybrid construction, you can wear these just as well with a pair of jeans or chinos.
So your feet aren’t aching halfway through the day, the sneaker boots don’t just look incredible but give you plenty of mileage. Requiring zero break-in period, the shoes benefit from a cushioned leather insole, anti-slip leather lining, and supportive outsoles. Likewise, the Terra Moc Chukkas also boast moccasin stitching in front for a roomier toe box that lets your toes splay and breathe throughout the day. Stitching has also been reinforced in high-wear areas.
Priced at $200, the Terra Moc Chukka Sneaker Boot is available now from Huckberry’s web store.
