Double Tap to Zoom

Coined due to their association with the Chelsea neighbourhood in London, affluent as it is, the Chelsea boot bears certain markers that differentiate it from other varieties of boot.

Characterised by their close fit, the elasticated side panel and the leather composition, they are often embellished with a little looped fabric to help pull them on. On days where you need an extra hand, if you will.

The essential shoe for this season of rainy days, gloomy clouds and grey. Lots of grey. As if on cue, there has been snowfall in Berlin, which means that dressing for the season may well include a pair of these to really get that crunch underfoot.

Without further ado, we give you: the Chelsea boot.
