Originally known as 'J. Sparkes-Hall's Patent Elastic Ankle Boots' the Chelsea boot, of course, became synonymous with the hip Kings Road in the 40s & 50s & the terms ' Chelsea Boot' became associated with the design. This is my glossy black Chelsea boot crafted in soft calf leather, with soft goat skin inner lining. The insoles are made with durable & comfortable high intensity latex, to absorb shock, & prevent fatigue to the feet. The durable & rugged crepe soles provide firm traction, absorb impacts, & prevent tiredness. The elasticated edgy navy contrast side gussets ensure a super comfortable fit & a re pretty cool, as I'm sure you'll agree.
