A black Chelsea boot with a European profile sits closer to the foot than the usual round-toe boot, and reads dressier for it. Elastic side gores, a low pull tab, no laces, an unbroken silhouette that reads dressier than the usual round-toe boot. The upper is top-grade European calfskin, a box calf finished smooth for a high shine that holds its shape at the ankle. Here the Benjamin is built on the Ritz last, a soft-square toe shaped for boots too elegant for the usual form — dressy, never chunky. Made by our artisans in a workshop in Almansa, Goodyear welted, one pair at a time. A full leather sole keeps it at its dressiest.Put it under tailored trousers and it sharpens a suit; put it under raw denim and it carries the whole look. The European Chelsea, in the color that goes everywhere — slip it on and the day starts.Some men own a boot for the weather. The Benjamin is the one you own for the room.
