Afternoon everyone!

I have been looking for what seems like years for my perfect Chelsea boots and just can’t find exactly what I want! I’ve ended up with a couple of cheap pairs ‘to make do with’ until I find THE pair but I still haven’t found them!

I’m aware I’m fussy but they must be out there somewhere.

Requirements:
Genuine leather
Black
Chunky sole
Maybe slight heel - don’t mind either way on this
Rounded/wider toe-this seems my biggest issue-so many have what I think is a weird narrow shape at the front
Not too low on the ankle
Under £200

These are pretty close, but might be slightly too low on the ankle.

As I said, I know I’m being fussy, but do you maybe own or have you seen somewhere what I’m describing and could point me in the right direction please? I’d be very grateful!

Have you looked at Blundstone boots? They might fit the bill.

piccolorhinoceros · 13/10/2024 15:12

Any of these?

DM - may be too low on ankle?
DM - much higher up leg
Barbour Evie

I’d sign up to the

Grenson

mailing list so you’ll have first dibs on their next sale.

Fly. I have them in green navy & black. They're totally perfect.

Just over £200 though

I have Fly boots, they’re not as chunky as the JL ones you linked to and I love the JL ones so much I’m going to order them!

Birkenstock Highwood.

Thanks so much everyone! Lots to look at there, but I’m still not sure I’ve found the ones! I should have said, I love some Dr Martens ones but I don’t like the yellow stitching so that rules most of them out.

@DanielaDressen the JL ones are nice aren’t they? Almost perfect! What do you think of either of these? These are also mega close I think! Losing the will a little now..I do this then give up the search. 🙈

They’re also nice but I prefer the more flatter profile of the footbed on the JL ones.

Sorry to hijack this post OP, but following as I'm also looking for some leather or leather look Chelsea boots! Although not the chunky sort and my budget is considerably less at £50-60.....

KirstenBlest · 13/10/2024 19:13

I have those in hi-shine and they're great, @AvaJae .

AnyFucker · 13/10/2024 19:21

Leonore Doc Martin Chelsea boots with the fur trim are great. For a smaller budget, just go on Vinted.

Itstoodark · 13/10/2024 19:25

I bought these from Joules last year and they're great, so comfy!
