Chelsea Boots: The Best Seasonal Footwear
We’re in a strange time where half of the week is sunny and breezy and the other half is sludgy and cold. Its hard to dress during these weeks so the best option is to layer. But what’s the best option for footwear?
Chelsea boots are not only extremely chic boots but also a very comfortable yet versatile shoe. They are short ankle boots that are available from many brands in various colors. There are many appeals for these boots.
The first is comfort. Chelsea boots are proof that you don’t have to sacrifice fashion for comfort. They are an easy slip on boot that doesn’t require any zipping or tying. Many brands also pride on the comfort of the shoes and have cushion insoles with supported arches and don’t rub your feet in the wrong way.
The next great aspect is the style. Chelsea boots typically are black simple boots but many companies have released different colors ranging from a rustic brown to a neon pink. They are so easy to pair with almost any outfit. They can be worn with leggings, jeans, shorts, dresses, trousers, etc. the options for how to dress these boots up or down are endless.
Lastly they are so versatile. Going along with the available colors and the comfort, these boots are great to wear anywhere! They’re sturdy so they can be worn while traveling, walking to classes, working, etc. This is a great feature because many students typically go straight from class to work or go from work to going out and with Chelsea boots you don’t have to worry about sore feet but also don’t have to change into something more chic. Personally I am able to go from working in a restaurant kitchen for hours, wiping down my boots with a paper towel, then being able to go straight out.
A few brands that feature some great quality Chelsea style boots are Blundstones, Dr. Martens, Hunter, and Jeffrey Campbell. All these brands have different strengths such as more fashionable, comfortable, or sturdier! For example Hunter boots are better for rainy weather, Blundstones are comfortable and sturdy work boots, and Dr. Martens are more fashion directed. All are great options and definitely worth considering in investing to wear year round.
