Monk FactsThe Chelsea 8 is an neat elastic-sided ‘Chelsea’ boot. The term ‘Chelsea boot’ derives from the fashionable inner-London suburb where, in the mid 1960s the elastic-sided boot became a favourite of the young, rich and famous. A slim, pointed variation gained huge popularity when worn by The Beatles at the height of Beatlemania. The true appeal of the Chelsea boot, aside from its clean, simple appearance, lies in its comfort and ease of wear; it is a great boot to pull on at a moment’s notice, yet it also looks great when you dress it up with fine cotton trousers. Crockett & Jones’s 341 last gives the boot a slim, almond-shaped toe that has a timeless appeal. This model features dark brown suede uppers and a slim Dainite rubber sole, for comfort and grip.
