Advice on wide Chelsea Boots

[YeScoot]

Hello all,

I need some help. I'm looking to get some black swede Chelsea boots here in London. Something casual that can help dress up an outfit, complete the urban look but still have some edge to it.

My problem is that I have small feet (been trying on Chelsea boots in a UK size 6)! Because Chelsea boots often have to fit snugly to keep from slipping, and because they're often styled with a slim profile, they tend to make my feet look tiny. I'm looking for a black, suede Chelsea boot that doesn't slim down too much that won't make my feet look so small.

Do you have any suggestions on models I could get here?

Thanks!

RM Williams boots have a more rounded profile

Thanks for the tip! They look like the right style, unfortunately it looks like what I'm interested in isn't going to be in stock for a while. Any other recommendations guys? Much appreciated!

The shoes you're talking about aren't so much narrowed as elongated. Nobody markets a narrow Chelsea boot as though it's a regular width -- they shape the last so that the toe reaches out a little more and looks longer. That tends to be something you want.

My J. FitzPatrick Alkis do this very nicely for my small feet (usually 7.5 US, so not much bigger than yours). I'd recommend trying a pair on. (They also do MTO, so you could pick a different last and makeup, but you'd have to spend a bit more).

If budget's an issue, or emphatically not an issue, you'd be best off saying so.

Okay well that is a look that, as I stated, I do not want. I've tried on quite a few chelsea boots in stores now and what I know is that some make my feet look like pencils while others look more like my other boots in terms of the shape and width. That is what I need advice on.
