Chukka Boot Advice
I'm looking for some buying advice for a pair of suede chukkas. Ideally, these will get a lot of office wear with more polished fits (chinos/shirt) and do double duty on the weekends with denim. I'm leaning towards a danite/leather sole to give it more versatility, as opposed to a more casual desert boot. Ideally, I'd like to keep it under $500 but there are a few options I'd consider breaking the bank for... Welcome suggestions between the following - thanks!

Chukka Boot in Chocolate Suede
We think of these as a more refined take on desert boots — just as wearable, but grown up a little. The toe shape is a tad narrower for an elegant look on the foot, no matter how you're wearing them. Of course you can chill them out with jeans, but we also think they look super cool with grey flannel trousers for a mor

Just to add another option I’ve had my eye on these Meermin ones which look similar to the ones you’ve posted. I’ve heard good things about Meermin but don’t own any personally. https://meermin.com/products/101468-brown-suede-e

Honestly just the ones you like the most
Not familiar with Sid Mashburn or Morjas quality, but style wise they are all basically identical. You'd consider also Berwick which is, quality wise, similar to Loake 1880 line (and better than main line I'd say).
Surely C&J quality is top notch, but I like Alden style more on this type of boot, which is a little bit different.
Of course price point of these two is different.
