Chelsea boots

[andreaserfati]

Hey guy,

I'm new here and I just wanted to know where could I get some nice Chelsea boots with a nice shape (like the Common Projects') and for a decent price ? (Max 200€)

Thanks !

I love chelsea boots, Grenson maybe?

 

[Brenner]

I forgot, I am sure Loake has Chlesea models in that price range

Yes, Grenson is definitively one of the best shoe maker on the market but the prices are way too far from my budget.
Have anyone of you heard of Bobbies ? They do great Chelsea boots
And when I said, 200 max I meant euros not pounds

 

[Brenner]

I never heard of Bobbies, I´ll take a look. Check Loake, they have a few chelsea boots

 

[Brenner]

Bobbies looks Ok, is this good quality?

I think my post might have been deleted.. if this isn't allowed whatever

I said my most recent blog post answered this question. Literally, it is a post describing cheaper alternatives to the high end chelseas like SLP, BV, etc.

This is interesting , thanks a lot, are Scaroso and Story et Fall good quality products? I tried Loake Mitchum and I was a bit dissapointed with the quality.

No problem

I really can't speak much to the quality. I'm getting 2 pairs of story et fall that should arrive in a week or so. I'll write a review of them, then.

In general, I think these mid-tier boots probably have mid-tier quality. I wouldn't except SLP quality from these $250 boots, but I also wouldn't put it past them.

Thanks a lot, I´ll be waiting for the review. I am Ok with mid-tier quality, since that is what you pay for. But sometimes you find that quality is not even in the mid-tier range and not on par with the price, Loake for example. You are not paying 550 for a pair of Aldens, but 250 is still a respectable amount to pay for shoes. My question was basically if these two brand would have a decent amount of quality for the price.

I have Scarosso Jodhpur boots, and I absolutely love them. Fantastic quality, really comfortable, very stylish. My next purchase from them will probably be their black Chelsea boots.

So I wholeheartedly recommend them if you're interested, but then again, I've only bought one pair so far. If you can, wait till a sale and pick up a pair. I missed my size in the last sale, so I guess I'll have to wait till closer to Christmastime. I got my Jodhpurs for about 160 Euros.

Hello all! I am planning to invest in a good pair of chelseas. I have narrowed it down to a pair of Grensons Declan in brown suede and Cheaneys in brown/burgundy grain leather (don't remember the model name). According to the websites, both are made in the UK, most probably Northampton, and both are goodyear welted. Everything is quite what I am looking for but as I don't have any experience with either of these brands before, I would really appreciate if some of you respected members could shed some light on which one is better than the other. My price range is $300-$450 and both of these pairs fall in the range. Any suggestions, keeping the price point in mind, are also welcome. Thanks.
