Russell | Suede Chelsea Boot Gum Sole

Soft suede. Clean ankle line. Pull on, go.

The upper is a supple suede with a close, even nap, so the boot takes the shape of your foot rather than fighting it. Elastic side panels let it pull on cleanly and hold the ankle without pinching. A cushioned insole carries the weight through a long day on hard pavements. Sizing runs true; take your usual size, or the half size up if you wear thicker socks.

Elastic Gussets That Make Them Quick to Wear The twin side panels stretch at the opening and recover, so the boot stays snug at the ankle after months of pulling on. No laces to deal with on the way out the door.

Gum Outsole That Grips Damp Pavement The pale rubber sole gives quiet traction on wet city streets and adds a little height without weight. It also gives these suede chelsea boots a less formal edge than a leather sole would.

Streamlined Last That Works With Tailoring The toe is softly rounded rather than square, so the boot sits neatly under a trouser hem. It reads as easily with denim as with flannel.

Suede Upper on a Cushioned Bed The suede is soft-handed with a short nap that brushes back evenly, set over a padded footbed and a bonded gum rubber sole. Stitching runs along the panel seams and the pull tab at the heel is reinforced. Suede is not treated for rain, so a spray protector is worth using if you want the wear of waterproofed chelsea boots in winter.

Wear with dark straight-leg denim and a knit, or under wool trousers for a quieter take on the city boot.
