10 Easy Pieces: Waterproof Chelsea Boots

October 16, 2019

The Chelsea boot has been a popular choice for footwear ever since Queen Victoria’s shoemaker patented the design for the new-fangled ankle boots in 1851. (Her majesty wore them daily, it was said.)

With their elastic gussets, waterproof Chelsea boots are an easy-on, easy-off choice for garden footwear. We’ve rounded up 10 favorite pairs stylish enough to wear even when you’re not planning to tromp through muck:

A pair of waterproof leather Women&#8\2\17;s Thermal Boots is lined with Thinsulate (a synthetic fiber insulation) for warmth; \$\2\24.94 from Blundstone.
