Leather is a bit stiff but after wearing them for a good portion of the day, they seem like they will break in nicely.

I had a pair of Dukeflex but sold them due to Astorflex not offering half-sizes.

Being a 10.5 US, I opted for a similar chukka with the Flizzon by Velasca in a Size 43.5 EU. Also the Dukeflex is unlined while the Flizzon is lined.

Both very nice, but I preferred the Velasca for the sizing.

I’m happy with unlined for summer and thin socks should do away for the need for half sizing.
Plus they’re cheaper. 😆
