Please help me find THE Chelsea boots!!!

[ILookingLikeABeautifulDay]

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!

I’ve actually got those Other Stories boots, they’re very comfy and definitely higher than the Shoe the Bear Ones the OP first linked to.

I have some lovely Chelsea boots from m&s but they're green suede. I definitely recommend?&s boots though. Not sure if someone has mentioned the ones above! I can't see them in the thread but I am really tired so maybe missed it! X

I don’t know if they’re available where you are, but I consider the Caslon Miller boot to be perfect. They are on sale on some US sites for as low as $60. Last year they were twice that. They’re beautiful leather and the perfect shape. I love mine!

Have a look at Heavenly Feet , they have some lovely ones , not leather as they are vegan friendly but super light , reasonably priced and really comfortable

How about these ones?

These are so uncomfortable. I can’t get on with Timberlands, despite trying multiple times.

i would highly recommend Gabor - I went up half a size and they are always straight out of the box comfort. I’ve just bought the Marissa in the Pepper suede as I didn’t want black leather, but here’s the same style in black leather: www.gaborshoes.co.uk/womens-c1/boots-c3/chelsea-boots-c75/marissa-ladies-chelsea-boots-p51574/s744785?cid=GBP&glCurrency=GBP&glCountry=GB&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADlz8oBdLdd0AYox26z83V9Ie0bb5&gclid=Cj0KCQjwm5e5BhCWARIsANwm06jPv5LIYQQmvkCYx1k3xTnRTmYaI5ig__HbsozK0CmpwuDiScTUXZ4aAuIrEALw_wcB

Mine are black M&S ones. Roughly £70 from memory.

Here you go!

These! I love them and think they fit your brief!? https://esskashoes.com/products/yolla-black

Same. I think they’re awesome

these aren't a chelsea boot to me though, they are far too chunky

I bought two pairs of these I like them so much. I do recommend stuffing them with newspaper / boot holder to keep their shape best.

This was me last year. I struggled to find the perfect pair too and ended up with these ones from Clark's which have been perfect. https://www.clarks.com/en-gb/orinoco-2-lane/26163619-p?gadsource=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwvpy5BhDTARIsAHSilynJxxIU0qDop3cIJxgUqlbtCvsXXUTuXyunniGc3JvNkHi37YDddAwaAmKGEALwwcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Come in various colours, round toe, I've taken a half size larger than usual

I've been living in these Lipsy ones. They are faux leather but soft and smart. And as I'm tall the heel is not too much, Buy Lipsy Black Flat Faux Leather Chelsea Boot from Next Ireland

Embassy London - lovely comfy boots which I've had for 2 yrs and wear constantly for work. I think they were £160. Top of your budget but they are lasting well.

Haven’t read the other responses. Mine is , without hesitation, doc Martens. Comfy, anti establishment, the bee’s knees. Nothing else compares.

Paraboots are insanely good quality - pricey though

Dr Martens do several pairs of Chelsea boots without visible stitching. There is the mono pair that I don't think even have stitching. My offspring has them and lives in them. I think if you go into a store they may also have varying sle thicknesses. I think they're about £190?

DMs all the way. The polish soon tones down the stitches. (Tats sad in my view , but as you don’t like the stitches…)
