(Redirected from Chelsea boot)


'Chelsea Boots' (also known as 'dealer boots') are tight fitting, cuban-heeled, ankle-high boots that became fashionable in the early 1960s. The most notable feature of the Chelsea boot is its elastic siding, running from the heel to the top of the shoe. Many years earlier, they were most likely originally worn as riding boots. The boots were considered an element of the 1960s mod scene. Their popularity is often attributed in part to musicians such as The Beatles (who wore what became known as Beatle boots) and The Rolling Stones, who primarily wore Chelsea-style boots with Cuban heels.
