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