If you are a Chelsea boots fan and you plan to buy them for the upcoming winter destination travel, you should know everything about these babies. You can buy Chelsea boots without knowing about them but its always better to know what you are buying. Here we will tell you about the characteristics and material that brands offer in Chelsea boots.

So let’s start with the history of Chelsea boots

J. Sparks-Hall who was the inventor of these shoes was the shoemaker of Queen Victoria. He came up with the idea to use vulcanised rubber at the ankle to put on the boots and take them off easily. Later in the 1950s, it became an evident fashion.

Characteristics of Chelsea boots:

You would want to know what makes Chelsea boots so different from others. So yeah! Here is everything that makes Chelsea different from others.

1. Ankle length:
Not above the ankles, not below the ankles, its right at ankle height.

2. Heels:
Chelsea boots have low heels and rounded toes. This characteristic is similar to that of Oxford shoes.

3. Parts of the shoe:
The vamp and the quarters are the two parts of the Chelsea boots that are both made from a single piece of leather. These two pieces are joined by vulcanized rubber or elastic.

Note: The quarters and the vamp are not sewn one on top of the other. They are sewn together in one plain just below the ankle.

4. Elastic strip:
This elastic strip that joins the pieces of leather extends to just below the ankle and not all the way down to the sole.

5. No laces:
Since these shoes do not have laces, they have little loops with which you can pull up the shoe. Without the laces, it’s tough to get a good fit at the foot and at the ankle. These loops help you achieve that fit.

Things to keep in mind when you plan to buy a Chelsea boot:

1. You have to make sure that the fit is right. It can be very uncomfortable otherwise.

    2. Few brands sell Chelsea boots with zippers, THOSE ARE NOT CHELSEA BOOTS! Do not fall for it.
    3. When you are looking for the shoe, make sure you that you know what weather you are going to face while travelling. A suede material for the boots is not good for a rainy season. It will absorb the moisture. If you are travelling to a destination that is prone to rains, go for regular leather.
    4. Also, take a dark colour. Goes with everything.
