  • Keep - I had never heard of the boots before yesterday morning, but when the article Chukka (which used to be a redirect to Polo) was changed [1] I looked up the word and found several references to the Chukka boot, so created the stub. I was interrupted before adding any sources, and forgot to come back and finish editing the stub, for which I'm sorry. :-( Sources have been added now, by Belovedfreak. --Bonadea (talk) 18:32, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep and Expand: Chukka boots refer to particular style of boots, not neccessarily to a specific brand. Vans, in particular, are one company that has had a very successful line of Chukka boots. Go to any online shoe store, and you will easily find scores of Chukka boots from many different manufacturers.I feel like a tourist (talk) 18:48, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
