Chukka boots or turf boots (sometimes referred to as bucks) are ankle-length boots with two or three pairs of eyelets for lacing.[1]They are usually made from calfskin or suede,[1] although they have also been made from more exotic materials such as crocodile.[2] They were popular in the late 1940s and 1950s as casual wear.[3][4] The name chukka comes from the game of polo.[3] Chukka boots are similar to desert boots, worn by British forces in the Western Desert Campaign of World War II.[3][5] Desert boots are looser at the ankle than chukka boots and have a crepe rubber sole.[4]
