Chelsea boot refers to a shoe style with elasticised panels along the sides of the shoe. The style is free of zippers and closures and thus easy to slip on. This type of shoe has it roots as far as in Victorian Era. Design was developed by J. Sparkes-Hall, boot maker to HM Queen Victoria. Despite that new interpretations of this original chelsea boot has been made throughout history it has kept its recognizable design. The appeal in the most chelsea shoes is still incredibly similar as in the first pair Hall made for HM. Later this type of shoe has been generally referred to seventies Mod style and for the most the Beatles; the group that has irreversibly influenced our fashion evolution.

FYI. This shoes runs slightly big in size. We advise you to take a half size smaller than your regular Italian / European size. Shoe fits snug initially and will stretch out and smoothen with wear.
