If your CXL chukka is lined and the suede chukka is unlined, I think the difference is night and day, the suede version just feels so much lighter. Plus, the unlined chukka is usually on the FlexWelt sole which I find to be extremely comfortable, lightweight, and need no time for breaking in. They are both great options but I think the suede also dresses up a little bit more nicely than the CXL (although I wouldn't call either "dressy").
Many thanks for the suggestions. As for the unlined Chukka, I have a cxl one. Do you think a suede one will serve me better in summer, and how much is the difference?
Thanks
