Customer Reviews Johnston & Murphy Copeland Casual Chukka Boot

I loved the look of these and was excited to give them a whirl. As soon as I slipped them on however, I could tell that the seam along the back of the foot was going to give me a blister. Stitching along the narrow part of the shaft seems like a poor design.

I ordered a couple pairs of chukkas to try and these were the winner. Putting them on felt like stepping into a comfy cloud. They are apparently padded with sheepskin? I’ve only had them for 24 hrs, but they work for walking, cloud walking.

The styling is REALLY nice. Boots look sharp right out of the box. When I tried them on, they felt very tight across the top of my toes and I could see my knuckles bulging across top of boot. This was very uncomfortable, and perhaps they might have stretched out and got broken in over time? Other aspect of boot I did not care for was how easy surface of leather could get marked up, even just with light swipe of a finger nail. I could easily buff the marks out, but not sure how over time they would look? I ended up sending them back, and of course that was super easy due to Zappo's awesome customer service.

The fit was great, looked great, but it felt as if a metal rod ran across the sole where the insole support should be. Made the shoe very uncomfortable to walk in.

I purchased these Chukkas from Men's Dillards for $125.00 on sale. The quality is top notch and I love the sheep skin. The first couple months I wore these I loved them. However, after the memory foam broke down (6-month time frame for me) wearing these boots feels like walking directly on the concrete. So, if you’re looking for great looking boots for occasional wear these perfect for the price. But if you want an everyday boot to last you more than 6 months, I recommend checking out the Timberlands.

These are really comfortable on your feet, but I just couldn't get them to fit my foot. Unlike most other boots in this style, these have extra padding on the inside of the upper along the entire toe box. It's super comfy, but threw off the balance of the boot. I normally wear a 10, and that did fit in the toe, but my heel slipped. I ordered a 9 1/2 to test. It was too tight in the toe but my heel didn't slip...probably because my foot was jammed in there. Unfortunately these boots just don't work for me. I wear a 10 in Vans and New Balances, 11 in Nikes.

I really wanted to like these boots but, unfortunately, I have to return them. I have other pairs of J&M boots, and shoes, and have always found that size 11M fit perfectly. But not these boots. As other reviewers have noted, they seem to run narrow through their entire length (and they're not available to try in "W"). I ordered a similar style of Wolverines in 11M and they fit fine. It's bad enough that most brands have offshored their manufacturing, but there's no excuse for poor QA.

The Copeland Chukka is a very stylish shoe and very comfortable overall. I recommend ordering a size larger than what you normally wear; they run narrow in the toe box and felt a little small. I'm normally a 16 in every other brand and when I put them on they weren't the right size. Its too bad they don't come in a 17 otherwise I would definitely order them again.

Fit is small, the instep and outermost areas don't line up as with usual shoes. Getting a larger size would result in looseness in other areas. Very tight on the outer part because of this.
