The Original British Walkers Men's Playboy High top Chukka Boot

I was really excited that I found these British Walker Playboys. They remind me of back in the day when I used to wear these in the 70's. I bought the denim blue color. They fit good and should last a while. But the color started to flake off after the first day. By day three, they look terrible. Seems like the dark blue color was sprayed on, and flakes off to reveal a light blue color. I wish i could figure out how to remove the sprayed on dark blue layer and just deal with the light blue leather color underneath. I don't think I'll buy these again. They sure don't make them like they used to.

I grew up in New York City during the 60s and 70s and I use to wear this Playboy shoes they were great to walk, run, dance, and even play basket ball in the court in the Project Housing if I did not have my converse on. They have not loss their touch, when my wife saw me with the shoes on she said that they look very sharp. They look great with a suit and tie. They are still making them very comforting to wear, the rubber sole bottom is not the same but it will do ok. The price is very fair, the delivery time was very good also. The way they are packed was very neat and gave the impression that the shoes are very expensive. You earned me as a regular customer.

This is the 3rd such pair ive puchased since i've been reaquainted with these from my late teen years in NYC some 20+ years ago, and i do see that they have gone thru 1 or 2 minor changes from back then but i am OH SO happy i'm able to stockpile various colors of these in my closet again! I've always been a fan of this vendor's products but they got to be really hard to find (thank you internet shopping!). I haven't had any issues with any of the pairs ive purchased so far & hopefully this will continue to hold true.For now, highly recommended!

Similar to the chukka worn by Steve McQueen in the film, "Bullitt" these shoes are perfect in every way. The construction is excellent, the fit is very good though a padded arch support is needed for me and makes them a bit more snug in a good way. I'd have hoped for the dark rust color but this a nice desert tan and darkens a bit more when treated with Kiwi brand suede protector, which is water proofing spray and stain protector. I love these shoes and they do draw compliments.

I live in Seattle. I like that these do well in rain. These run about a half size big but fairly true to size. They are nice looking but not as bergundy as I had hoped. In between brown and burgundy. It takes a few wears before the heel breaks in so dont go for long walks until you’ve worn the several times

I'm just an old school kind of man when it comes to certain things. and was delighted when I came across these shoes, I wore them back in the 70's and had no doubt they would be, look and feel the same...They arrived today and I'm wearing them... will stock them again as I did back in the day !!!!! The best of fashion and comfort never dies and neither will these !!!!!

Looks and feels just like I remember when I rocked Playboy's back in the early eighties. (83-85) The new styles and colors are on point. Now if only the two-tone wingtips would come back, OMG!!!! with plaids or sharkskins. WHAT???? I know if you're looking at these shoes you know what I'm talking about. You remember. ✌

The second removable INSERT is a JOKE. It is about 1/25th of an inch and does next to nothing to make the shoes wider. Shoe is too tight and the leather is too hard. Inside lining in PU LEATHER-not real leather. Outside is real LEATHER but very hard and stiff. You will torture your feet to death to soften them up.
