• Faux leather upper with a smooth, polished finish that holds its shape and sits cleanly against the ankle
• Classic Chelsea silhouette with elasticated side gussets for an easy pull-on fit without compromising the sleek profile
• Heavily lugged chunky sole adds noticeable height and grip - the sole unit itself accounts for much of the mid heel, sitting between 5 and 6.5cm
• Pull tab at the back keeps the boot practical without disrupting the clean lines at the rear
• Taller-than-average shaft cuts just above the ankle, giving more coverage than a standard Chelsea and working well tucked into or over slim-leg trousers

The faux leather sits stiff enough to hold a strong silhouette straight out of the box, but the gusset means there's no wrestling to get them on. The chunky sole is the real talking point here - deeply ridged and substantial underfoot, it shifts the boot away from the pared-back Chelsea tradition and into something with considerably more presence. Wear them with straight-leg jeans rolled once at the hem to let the sole do the work, or pull them over slim-fit trousers for a cleaner line. They sit just as well with a midi skirt and oversized knit for a relaxed weekend look as they do under tailored wide-leg trousers for a smarter daytime occasion. A leather-look cross-body bag keeps the overall look cohesive. Built for pavements, market days, and anything that calls for a boot with a bit of weight behind it.
