Re: CHELSEA BOOTS?

‎09-14-2021 01:41 PM

Chelsea is the name of the style. It's a classic, and they've been around for years. Depending on the trends, the toe shape and heel/sole change, but the constant is the elastic inset. This year, lug soles are all over the place -- thus, the Vince Camuto version. I own several variations on the Chelsea boot.

The Chelsea style has been around since forever!  

 

I have a collection of Chelsea rain boots - different colors  - look like patent leather - that I got from Amazon.

This is what I call a Chelsea boot. They have flat heels.  Elastic at the ankle.  Some are more dressy than others.  Have been around a long time.  

 

Currently, more trendy versions with higher heels that I don't call Chelsea. 

 

The first three are Ralph Lauren. 

 

This one a favorite.

Chelsea is an affluent area in London. In the 1960s it was the mod scene there in London where it all started.

 

Look at their boots.
