Best Praise
+62 pts“I have a pair of Thursdays and a pair of the Redwing weekender chukka’s and I’ll wear the redwings all fall winter and into spring. The have held up really well to daily use and have broken in quite nicely. As for the Thursdays I just can’t seem to break them in to a point where they are comfortable.”

+8 pts“First and foremost, Doc Martens are not "dressed up," and neither are Red Wing Chukkas as another comment here recommended. Those are leather footwear, yes, but about as casual as you can get. You could maybe get away with Red Wing Beckmans. However, your best bet would be something like [Allen Edmonds Dress Sneakers](https://www.allenedmonds.com/browse/shoes/mens/dress/dress-sneaker#sortCriteria=relevance) or similar. Probably something with broguing would be better than something like the Park Ave sneaker.”
