Characteristics of the Original Chelsea Boot
• Ankle length
• Rounded toes
• Low heels
• Two parts each made from a single piece of leather
• The vamp and the quarters meet near the ankle where they are joined
by a strip of vulcanized rubber or elastic
• The strip of elastic extends to just below the ankle but not all the way
down to the sole (just above the welt)
• The vamp and quarters are not sewn one on top of the other. Instead
they are sewn together in one plain below the ankle.
