Loafers and sandals seem to be the common picks among men going from workdays to the weekend. We’ve looked at the Bucks, a sneaker alternative and even checked out one of Details’ summer essentials, the suede lace-up. However, one avid See Jack Shop reader caught our attention by finding another summer alternative to the loafer, which is casual, comfortable yet trendy enough for a night out.

SJS reader Kevin was bored of the loafer and was looking for a higher top. His first thought, the Chelsea boot. But his preference won out over the thick leather riding boot – Timberland’s taupe canvas Rippler Chukka.

What a find! The organic cotton canvas shoe has fewer layers than the Chelsea boot making it sleek and well suited for the warm months. It’s water resistant and the leather toe/heel make the boot sturdy. Even more appealing is its price, $49.99 (originally $90) from Timberland.

Other similar options for a summer loafer alternative includes:

Clarks desert boot

Clarks lightweight desert boot is available in three suede colors from Amazon, ranging from $54.90 – $89.99.

Camper suede Peu

Camper Peu has a suede upper in brown or tan with contrast stitching, removable footbed and flexible rubber sole is on sale for $86.25 (originally $169) from 6pm.com.

Vans canvas desert boot

Vans Rata Plus is another desert boot with distressed tan plaid canvas upper, bamboo and charcoal soles along with a rubber sole from Urban Outfitters, $50.
