Men's Modern Chukka Moccasins
$120.00 USD
Description
The Men's Modern Moc Chukka represents a significant advancement in contemporary footwear design.
This ankle-height silhouette combines technical versatility with refined aesthetics, featuring a meticulously designed rubber outsole by Métis artist Kaija Heitland. Constructed using premium-grade cow hide leather exterior and pigskin lining, these moccasins deliver superior tactile sensation with barefoot-like biomechanics. These men's chukkas boast gorgeous details like the red accent stitching at the back and on the tips of the laces, plus a sleek suede band around the top of the boot.
The hybrid architecture successfully integrates traditional moccasin construction techniques with the structural advantages of chukka styling, creating footwear equally suitable for casual environments and more formal occasions.
We carry these men's chukka boots in sizes 8 to 12.
About the Artist
My name is Kaija Heitland, and I am a woman of Métis and Scandinavian ancestry living on the traditional lands of the Cowichan tribes on Vancouver Island, where I belong to the Cowichan Valley Métis Community and fish, gather, learn and teach. The beadwork and designs I create are inspired by all of the peoples that I come from, using the language of Métis beadwork and the vocabulary of my Northern European and Scandinavian family to tell our story.
In my work I focus on negating lateral violence through land-based practices, fine arts and shared Indigenous culture, encouraging self-reclamation and research into the diverse threads and kinship ties of the Métis community we belong to. I find beauty in teaching our traditional fiddle music that has evolved as a unique soundtrack to the development of our people and culture, and fulfillment in the cultural work I am able to do in my community.
