Maeve Chelsea Boots - Women's

About this find

The Maeve Chelsea Boots are made from full-grain calfskin leather, and their side elastic gusset helps them hug the foot with clean, flattering lines. They take their look from the Chelsea boots that mod rockers made popular in the 1960s, so they have a soft, retro shape that still feels current.

The leather comes from an Italian tannery that holds a Gold Rating from the Leather Working Group, the top recognition that group gives. That rating points to a strong focus on reducing environmental impact, which is a nice detail if you like to shop with that in mind.

For a relaxed look, try these boots with loose-fitting jeans so the ankle shape stands out under the denim. They also pair well with a pleated skirt for a feminine contrast, or with a funkier outfit when you want a bit of edge. Pull your pants over the boot shaft for a cleaner line.
