Variations of the Chelsea boot have been a staple worldwide for nearly two centuries. This slip-on pattern dates back to the early 1800s as a riding boot, which is how it originally earned the 'Paddock boot' name. Only in the mid-1900s, when the boot was popular in England, was it referred to as a Chelsea, a district in southwest London.

This pattern carries over to multiple categories. It's easily dressed up or down, and in certain parts of the world, it's a preferred style for work boots, given the closed pattern and slip-on practicality. 

The Grant Stone Chelsea is a combination of these categories. The goal was to find a balance between the Western and refined look. It will fit the bill as the work-horse boot or the daily commuter. Most importantly, we used strong, proven components to ensure longevity.

The UK last fits half a size large and has a fuller fit throughout, similar to our Leo last.

Creasing and color variation are to be expected on these natural, aniline leathers. Each pair will develop differently as each hide is unique.
