Everybody's Chelsea Boots!

I was just looking to see "previously on air" and saw that Vionic has a Chelsea boot.

It seems that everyone is selling Chelsea boots these days.

I put Chelsea boot in the search box above and got 29 hits.

I checked my shoe collection .... found four more that I bought a few years ago.

I didn't even know what they were until I searched it.

oh yea, so that's a Chelsea Boot.

Chelsea boots inherited their name from their popularity in Chelsea, an affluent and trendy area of London, during the fifties and sixties, particularly on the 'mod' scene. ... Chelsea boots remain popular with both men and women as a fashion statement and functional wardrobe staple to this day.

I just looked to see what they are. They look too heavy and chunky for me.

@Bridgegal

Most of the current batch are clunky. The ones I have are from a few years ago - before the thick heel/sole trend.

And QVC is now up to 39 choices of Chelsea boots!

Back in the day those were called "Beatle Boots"...b/c that's who made them very popular then.

They are super popular this fall. I like the look a lot but I cannot wear soles that do not bend. And most of the chelsea boots and even sneakers, that have those thick soles do not bend enough for me to comfortable.
