Let’s Hear it for the

Chelsea Boot

4th October 2017

The word ‘iconic’ is overused. It’s bandied around a great deal, often unjustifiably so, losing its original meaning. There are however, a number of items of clothing and footwear that have well and truly earned the accolade. The Chelsea boot is undoubtedly one of them.

We couldn’t help adding our own little Joules twist, which has proved to be so popular that we’ve added to our range of women’s and men’s Chelsea boots to include our own winter boots and biker boots styles.

What are Chelsea boots?

With origins dating back to the Victorian era, these versatile ankle boots were designed for wear by both men and women. The design was patented in 1851 by shoemaker to Queen Victoria, Joseph Sparkes-Hall and was worn for horse riding as well as everyday walking and general use.

The Chelsea boot has never really fallen out of favour. Worn consistently through the decades, the style arguably reached its most fashionable heyday in the 1950s and ‘60s. Loved by The Beatles and the swinging ‘60s London set, the boot’s name was believed to have derived from this time of popularity.

As you may well imagine we’re fans of this quintessentially British design, they’re versatile, durable and above all effortlessly stylish. We couldn’t help adding our own little Joules twist, which has proved to be so popular that we’ve added to our range of women’s and men’s Chelsea boots to include our own winter boots and biker boots styles.
