• Chunky lug sole with deep tread gives these Chelsea boots a robust, grounded stance that holds its own against a classic ankle boot silhouette
• High block heel sits between 7-9cm, adding height without sacrificing the stability that comes with a wide, squared-off base
• Faux leather upper with a smooth, clean finish - sits close to the ankle and holds its shape well through the shaft
• Elasticated side gussets allow an easy pull-on fit while keeping the profile neat and streamlined from every angle
• Pull tabs at the heel make these practical to get on and off, a small detail that earns its place on a boot worn regularly

The lug sole is the defining statement here - it takes the Chelsea boot's clean, slip-on shape and grounds it in something altogether more substantial. The block heel lifts the silhouette without tipping into occasion-wear territory, making these as easy to reach for on a Tuesday morning as a Saturday afternoon. Wear them with straight-leg or wide-leg jeans cropped just above the ankle to let the sole do its thing, or tuck slim-fit trousers in to show off the full height of the shaft. A longline coat or an oversized knit worn with midi-length skirts both work well here - the boot's structure holds its own against volume above. These suit autumn city days, weekend markets, and casual get-togethers where you want something with a bit of edge underfoot without overthinking the rest of the outfit.
