Description

Chelsea boots inherited their name from their popularity in Chelsea, an affluent and trendy area of London, during the fifties and sixties, particularly on the ‘mod’ scene. The boots are widely associated with the fashion of the King’s Road in Chelsea and were made iconic by The Beatles, Jean Shrimpton and The Rolling Stones.

J. Sparkes Hall, one of Queen Victoria’s bootmakers, designed Chelsea boots so that they are easy to pull on and off – originally for walking and horseback riding. Chelsea boots remain popular with both men and women as a fashion statement and functional wardrobe staple to this day.
