Best dressy Chelsea: Carmina's Simpson https://stridewise.com/carmina-chelsea/ Most premium Chelsea: Briselblack https://stridewise.com/benzein/ In one sense, Chelseas are easy to recommend because most people see them as casual or dressy boots — I don't get angry blue collar guys in the comments telling me I'm not including enough options for jobsites, although I did add a few options for that in the article (https://stridewise.com/best-chelsea-b...) But Chelseas are also pretty hard to recommend because you can't adjust the fit, so if a model doesn't fit your feet, you're often just out of luck. So with that in mind, I've emphasized Chelseas that comes in a bunch of sizes, have multiple widths, and are easy to exchange if they don't fit you. I'm also emphasizing boots that are easy to resole, because that makes them more longlasting and ultimately, better value for your dollar. 00:00 How we chose this list 02:02 Best Value: Thursday's Cavalier 02:49 Best Wholecut: Meermin 03:55 Softest Chelsea: Astorflex's Bitflex 04:25 Best USA made: Red Wing's Weekender 5:05 What about Blundstone? 05:19 Best Smart Casual: Grant Stone 06:36 Best tough Chelsea: Bordon Colombia 07:35 Best dressy Chelsea: Carmina 08:43 Most premium Chelsea: Briselblack 10:27 wrapping up
