At last! Arthur Knight have new stock of the Westbury style which is similar to the Ryder IIIs. The Dainite rubber studded sole has been around for ages as far as I know, and the John White Westbury's have a similar pattern, just made in a different factory.

A Dainite sole is a traditional British country sole available on most english makers from Northampton. It differs from a Commando sole in that it is easier to knock off mud after walking in the countryside. My favourite chukka with the Dainite sole is Grensons 'Parker'as the Ryder is quite 'clumpy'.

Not doubting that the Ryders are the shoes worn by DC, but the sole isn't unique, isn't it the standard Dainite unit as seen on other shoes eg Loake Kempton?

Originally ordered a pair of Westbury 2s from Walker & Gunn around a year ago. Just rang them to get a second pair but apparently they've been bought out by a company called Arthur Knight.

Walker & Gunn have finally re-stocked with John White Westburys! I've called them every month to see when new stock in my size was due, but at long last they've arrived.

I thought about the John Whites but my size sold out. In the end I plumped for the Church's and all I can say is that they were well worth the wait. Simply stunning workmanship and very comfortable.

Please email me at iceburns288 (at) gmail (dot) com if you know where I can find similar shoes in the US! I want to make sure they fit before I buy them, or at least be able to return them easily if they don't fit, so I'm wary of buying from the UK.

If you're in the UK and looking for a cheap version next have a pretty good one for £45. The soles and stiching are lighter but apart from that they're pretty similar;

About 7 years ago I purchased a pair of John White chukka boots. Needing to replace them this year I let myself get talked into a pair of Church Ryder III. Afterwards I found I was very disappointed. The Church is rather "chunky" or "clumpy" with a snub nose, whereas the older John White boot has a less built up front and appears more elegant. Also, when laced up the two sides of the shoe meet (I guess this is because its a wider fit or the foot hole is deeper).

While I got a later start in searching for a great pair of brown suede chukkas similar to the Church's with the same style sole I found a great substitute here thanks to 'HARVEY's article below:

If you are still looking for asimilar product to the ryder chukka by church another nice boot with 2 eyelets would be herring shoes own chukka with the dainite sole or try the saville row company who sell the 2 eyelet with dainite which is slightley lighter in colour.

It looks like I've been lucky with the John White chukkas because Walker and Gunn only have a few sizes left in stock. Mine are in a size UK 10 and they fit perfectly, like my other English made size 10 shoes.

After looking through these reviews, I decided to get a Walker & Gunn Westbury 2 and I have absolutely no regrets! I was concerned that the sole would be plasticy but they are a good solid rubber / resin mixture that seems robust and comfortable.

Indeed, if you order from walker and gunn, be sure and order one size down. I wear a 12 US normally, and they were out of 11's, so I got a 12 UK (didn't want to go too small) and they were VERY large on me.

I found the Westbury 2 to be a full size difference between UK to US (e.g. 10 US = 9 UK). Hope that helps

Thank you very much for the information Andrew. I have another question for all of you who now own the Westbury 2 and any comparable chukka boots. How did you find the sizing? I currently own a pair of Clark desert boots which took a half-size lower from my usual fit, however with some fit issues in the toe box. Did anyone experience a straight US to UK conversion - e.g. 10D US to 9.5F UK, or was it neccessary to take a size (half or full) lower?

I ordered the John White Westbury 2s from Walker & Gunn for delivery to the States last month. To answer Michael S.'s query about customs, there were absolutely no problems for me! Walker & Gunn put the correct ticket value on the customs form and because it comes in under $150 it came through without any charges or delays.

I purchased a pair, but unfortunately they ended up being too small, much to my disappointment because they're so nice. I can't exchange them because they're sold out in other sizes. I'll probably just sell them rather than return them. I'm sure that would be cheaper than shipping them back. So, I too am also looking at other alternatives. The Loakes are a little more than I want to spend.

Unfortunately Walker and Gunn are sold out of the size that I require in the John White Westburry. For anyone interested in a similar alternative, Herring Shoes and theshopforshoes both carry the Loake Kempton in brown suede (a bit lighter than both the Ryder IIIs and Westbury 2s), but utlizes the same Dainite sole. After deciding on the Kempton I've since been detered from purchasing as I am not sure what the custom charges would be for such a purchase (US dweller). So any of you that are stateside chime in with your experiences!

They are also very similar to the Loake Kempton boot. Right down to the circles on the sole.

If these fabulous suede Chukka Boots are a little out your price range, then the Westbury 2 in Brown Suede by John White, stocked by online retailer Walker & Gunn might be just the ticket. The product link is below: http://www.walkerandgunn.com/shoe/chukka-boots
