the entire ripped jeans + tan chelseas style is shit, but other than that, god-tier boots tbh

I was hesitant about about splurging on a pair, but received mine Monday and am thoroughly happy

>>10497569
What brand?

Not a fan of the tan chelseas plus light wash jeans and that kanye shit But I really like the classic black leather + black skinny jeans combo

I am considering buying these for 295,00 € They'll go with anything. Would have prefered a pair in brown but all sold out and can't find a decent pair

>>10497578
The brand is Septiemelargeur, they also make very nice good quality shoes.

can anyone recommend decent black chelseas in the 200$ price range? with a slim silhouette
I wanna get a pair of beaters for the winter. don't care too much about the quality. just black slim silhouette and inexpensive
thanks

>>10497638
Story et Falls are around $260, a little expensive, but they look good
picrel

>>10497638
these are the black ones

>>10497638
I got asos ones as my first pair, super inexpensive and the quality is what you'd expect from $100 boots. Only bad thing was that the silhouette, whilst being slim like I wanted, was actually really ugly because the toe box shape was strange.

I'd recommend buying an inexpensive pair for your first pair just so you can experiment and decide wether or not you actually suit the style, and if you decide you really like it and suit it save up for a higher quality pair. That's what I did

I can probably post pics of them if you need

>>10497653
Check Septiemelargeur's Chelseas. They are 295€ though but very beautiful

>>10497662
yeah id love to see pics of them. i wanna get inexpensive ones for the same reasons you said. thanks
>>10497660
damn these are sexy as hell

>>10497653

would be 1st pair of chelseas so understand the quality isnt that good

>>10497717
holy shit, for $230, you can get waaaayyy better boots. those look like trash

>>10497726
care to link me some?
what about them makes them look like trash?

>>10497495
i think most on the market are poorly constructed

and i feel as though putting an elastic band (which looks ugly with wear and tear) on something that is supposed to look gorgeous with age and wear (leather) detracts from the inherent design principles of a leather boot

if you go cheap on these the toe looks sloppy as if it needs a toe cap and they just left it off.

i like Guidi's famous sidezip variant but that is one of like 5 models I like

>>10497771
chelsea's are something fat people can't pull off

>>10497805
literally, fat feet swell up in them

>>10497704
Yup shitty boots, dont buy them.

>>10497809
I hate fat people, they make me sick..

>>10497835
Same fam

Any good alternatives for under 100? Thinking about these http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-Chelsea-Desert-Boots-in-Brown-Suede/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=5279311&cid=18695&Rf-800=-1,73&sh=0&pge=1&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Brown&totalstyles=75&gridsize=3

>>10497683
THANK YOU. Been trying to navigate this fucking garbage website for days.

>>10497755
imo bexleys are decent for the price, just about $150

lol you think they're shitty because they're made in vietnam?

am i the only one that think these look like mom/gay uncle boots and would never wear them?

Bought a pair from Barneys house label, coming in today. I'll post some pics once I get. Barneys warehouse has tons of cheap chelseas up.

>>10498082
Look pretty good but a little clown shoeish to me. Do you own them and can attest for them?

>>10498097
yea

>>10498101
i do and besides a bit stiffness id say they do a good job at 150 bucks

>>10498101
nah, i dont own them, but they have some different styles with different toe shapes (pic rel)

personally, id drop another hundred and get some story et falls, but if the site sketches you out, i get that too

Need a suede pair soon. Not paying the customs on Story et Fall. Got eyes on Represent's upcoming or Annie Hood. Any other suggestions? got around $300 to splurge

>>10498143
They look extremely tall in comparison to most Chelseas. I've also heard trying to get a good size is a nightmare.

Suede vs leather????

>>10498173
suede is more "in" right now, especially tan suede with the whole kanye look, but black leather is easier to wear and a better all around color

Does anyone know if there's any decent wide chelseas made? I'm plagued with 2E wide feet and usually size up on shoes to compensate, but chelseas might be generic enough to have some company make a wide version. I couldn't find anything on google.

>>10498204
>Does anyone know if there's any decent wide chelseas made?
RM Williams has an X fitting (super wide) that might be exportable to their other models besides the Tambo it comes stock on if you go their custom MTO route.

Widest chelsea fitting I can think of.

>>10499547
W2c?

>>10497771

I agree, the elastic band is a design flaw, but it also contributes to the minimal aesthetic by eliminating laces. I assume you can have the elastic replaced if it gets stretched or damaged by a competent cobbler. But yeah it wears like shit. Could be worse, you could be a Qasa's fuccboi with your entire foot rapped in that made in china shit.

C/N?

>>10499599
n

>>10499600
Why?

>>10499604
ugly soles with no defined heel which is an important part of the chelsea look
and the toes point up too far

>>10497653
anyone knows where to cop something like this but not as tall?

chisel toe blundstones you fuckin bitches

>>10499658
ewww

>tfw your beater chelseas are fucked up
>tfw your other two pairs have a wooden heel and they ake a lot of noise
>tfw working in an office with wooden floor
>tfw you cant wear them bbecause they make more noise than womens heel
anyboody feel me? how can i avoid this? i mean, i loke the wooden heel but i hate the loud tap noise

>>10497495
im going to tell you why, generally speaking, all chelseas are dog shit. now listen carefully. think about anything you own that has eleastic, be it gym shorts with elastic waist, socks, elastic t shirt necks. what happens to them eventually? thats right. eventually after years of use, the elasticity wears out and they become stretched out and warped. chelsea boots are not immune to this. the elastic side panels eventually (after several years) will without a doubt become stretched out and lost their shape and the boots will not fit right anymore. no chelsea boots are immune to this, not even slp's . its just a natural consequence of the flawed design. the moral of this story is, be a grown-up and don buy slip on boots, buy boots with actual laces that you can adjust over time as the leather changes. hope this helps you clueless people.

>>10499734
Or just but a new pair after a few years?

>I'd recommend buying an inexpensive pair for your first pair just so you can experiment and decide wether or not you actually suit the style, and if you decide you really like it and suit it save up for a higher quality pair. That's what I did

Thank you. I've been doing this for years and it's something I recommend for people whenever they are trying to add a new item to their wardrobe

>>10499734
REAL men don't wear girly elastic boots. Get a REAL MAN boot with REAL MAN laces that you can adjust like a REAL MAN don't forget accessories like a REAL MAN beard and craft beer

>>10498082
As the guy said the toebox is a bit thick and makes the clown shoe effect, try to get something with a thinner toebox

>>10498145
Pretty sure SEF + customs is less than $300...

>>10499857
kek, yeah, its horrible and embarrasing, ipve been wearing my combat boots to work due to that,fuc office etiquette

>dem texan outfits
how can murrkans dress tthat bad?

>>10499734
lol wut? most modern chelseas have a zipper instead of the gusette and the actual gusette can be replaced, traditional chelseas have leather strips instead of the gusette

>for all the chelsea amateurs the gusette is the elastic part

>>10499599
I saw some CP chelseas in a fit pic once and they looked awful. The sole is way too thick

>>10499967
chelseas can not and do not have side zippers. a chelsea boot by definiton has a gussette.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_boot

Chelsea boots are close-fitting, ankle-high boots with an ELASTIC SIDE PANEL. They often have a loop or tab of fabric on the back of the boot, enabling the boot to be pulled on. The boot dates back to the Victorian era, when it was worn by both men and women.

remove trip you ingorant dicklicker.

what jeans are this slim at the ankle so they stack nicely like so?

>>10499985
cheap monday tight jeans.
185cm 63kg here.

>>10499977
>chelseas can not and do not have side zippers
>being this close minded
>prolly hasnt seen any chelsea boot outside of cheap fast fashion shit
>mfw i actually own a pair of chelsea boots wwith zippers

damn, the ignorance is too strong in this nigger

>>10499985
make them yourself, just measure the circumference of the boot shaft and then substract it from the hem circumference of the jeans and divide it, thats how much the hem should be, add like 2cm for ease

48 dollars bicth. Does bass any good?

>>10500185

bass is very hit and miss. the leather doesn't look amazing on these, but you can't beat 50 bucks. give it a shot

>>10499599
Nah

>>10499900
It's just a practicality thing, not a value judgement.

>>10500053
Isn't the point that having a zipper means those boots aren't Chelsea boots?

>>10497672
>tfw you're scrolling thru a thread and suddenly there's a picture that you took a year ago of your chelsea boots sitting on your countertop in your kitchen in your apartment

>>10499706
Maybe.. just.. don't wear them to work.. ya know..

>>10497495
I got a pair last week, after wearing them for a full day, I am convinced they are a size too small.
Is it possible to get them stretched?
Or should I just bite the pillow and get super band aids?

bought these
really like em so far

kek

>>10500185
I bought them at $70 and even for that price I was pleased. For $50, definitely go for it if its your starting pair

>>10499985
that is the most feminine looking combo of boots and jeans I have ever seen on a man I think. Combined with that tip toe stance is confirmed cuck status

>>10500053
Having a zipper literally changes the name of the shoe

Having an iPhone that doesn't make calls is just an ipod

>>10501343
>>10500373
then what are they? zipper boots? the pure concept of a chelsea/jodhpur boot is a piece of shoeware with no lacing element, a zipper isnt a lacing element, its just a zipper

>>10500457
well, i only own the three chelseas and my beaten combat boots, i was thinking of buying oxfords but meh, i prefer a pair of bboots, they´re warmer and to some extent waterproff, ofc that will fuck up the leather but thats why i had a pair of beater chelseas

Chelsea pls, these are superior

How can a shoe look so great on a picture but so bad when worn? I've honestly never seen a fit of someone wearing chelseas I liked.

>>10501765
Post fit plzzz

>>10501765
you australian?

Can we post some unusual chelsea boot inspo?
I'm tired of the ever lasting stream of black polished chelseas with black or dark grey skinny jeans and a slim coat/leather jacket.

How about some beige chelsea inspo?
Or some black suede inspo?

>>10501694
Hahahaha that detail on the toe is tacky and looks shit

>>10504033
the thing is that those represent the basic aesthetic of the chelsea boots, bblack suede could pass as unpolished black leather and beige leather could pass as regular tan suede, there no real point outside of detail

the thing with the skinny jeans is that they show off the boot itself, if it were straight or slimfit it would cover mor the boot and there would bee no point in wearing them

i agree with the top, i wear bombers instead o coats and leather jacets in summer, it looke like something straight out of The Smiths
