Our notes
We love the silhouette of these Goodyear Welt Chelsea Boots. The gussets have been cut to follow the sweeping lines of the heel and vamp, which taper to a stylish point — order your usual size, as your toes sit before the point with room to wriggle.
These are not a pair of boots just for fashion. Built to last years, they'll keep carrying on and on — and when the outsoles finally wear down, a good cobbler can stitch a new sole to the welt and send them off for years more.
That longevity is in how they're made. A pair of Goodyear welted boots can take up to eight weeks to build, using up to 75 parts and over 200 different operations, a method with origins going back over three hundred years and still regarded throughout the boot-making world as the best way to make a superior boot. As you wear them, they only get better — the components mould to the shape of your foot, so the fit and comfort deepen with time.
The uppers are cut from our Italian bio-based vegan leather (62–66% plant-origin materials), which you can polish to keep looking new and bring out a shine, and the boot opening hugs the ankle thanks to the cut of the uppers and the elasticated gussets — a clean line with no gap. The hard-wearing rubber outsoles are made with 10% recycled rubber.
Inside, tan Portuguese vegan suede (100% PU) lines the boots for comfort, air circulation and breathability, and a memory foam insole over a traditional cork bed moulds to your foot as you wear them. A large embroidered WVS pull tab helps pull them on.
