Voyager Chukka - Black Suede

The perfect travel boot. Lightweight cushioning meets unlined suede for breathable, flexible comfort. Dresses up or down.

Elevating the form of an iconic desert boot, the Voyager is Blake-constructed with a one-piece counter and quarter panel for seamless, flexible comfort. The upper half of this panel is unlined for flexibility, whilst the lower half is lined in calf for enhanced stability. Forward of the tongue the vamp is also unlined for warm climate comfort and breathability.

The full-grain calf suede is supple and with enough elasticity to move naturally with your foot while maintaining its refined shape over time, supported by our signature padded footbed for all-day cushioning. Notice the subtly tapered heel and extra-fine stitching throughout.

The Vibram Gumlite outsole uses a soft, lightweight compound that's half the weight of conventional rubber without sacrificing durability. The tread features hundreds of small nubs for enhanced traction and cushioning, while the material itself provides excellent shock absorption and flexibility. Originally engineered for energy efficiency during uphill walking, it delivers reliable grip on flat and polished surfaces.

The Material:

1.2mm full grain calf suede from Opera in Tuscany. Unlined quarters and vamp, with a memory foam footbed wrapped in calfskin - the Blake construction allows for full recrafting. Vibram Gumlite outsole is made of an ultralight microcellular compound.

The Maker:

Owned and operated by three third-generation siblings, our Voyager chukka workshop was originally founded in 1930 by their grandfather in the countryside outside Vinci. Their focus on craftsmanship and quality is relentless, and their expertise across Goodyear, Blake, Bolognese, and Norwegian construction methods makes them an exceptional partner to August Special.
