Chukka boots are ankle-high leather boots with suede or leather uppers, leather or rubber soles, and open lacing with two or three pairs of eyelets. The name chukka possibly comes from the game of polo, where a chukker is a period of play.
A form of chukka boots originally worn by British forces in the Western Desert Campaign of World War II are desert boots.
