Chelsea Boots for women online at EMP

To paraphrase the great Nancy Sinatra, these Chelsea boots were made for walking…

Okay. We slightly lied there. Chelsea boots were actually said to have been invented to help royalty have an easier time horse riding (because lord knows it must be hard being a royal, with horse riding shoes at the forefront of their problems…). Most evidence suggests that the first Chelsea boot was designed by Queen Victoria's bootmaker, Mr J Sparkes-Hall in 1837. It was said that he created the pair of ankle height boots with elastic inserts either side, to make them easy to pull on and off for her majesty.

Since those days, women’s Chelsea boots have evolved into a perennial favourite. Comfortable and chic as well as being simple to pair with most outfits, they are the very definition of versatile. Women can wear their favourite pair of Chelsea boots as part of formal or casual outfit, with ripped jeans and band t-shirts or even dresses. No matter the occasion or the dress code, Chelsea boots are a wise investment that won’t look out of place anytime, anywhere.

For women, a pair of classic black Chelsea boots are a wardrobe staple. In the cold weather months, outfits don't come chicer than tan outwear, grey jumpers, faded jeans and black Chelsea boots. We’ve got plenty of black Chelsea boots in our EMP store, including popular brands like Dr Martens and Timberland.

EMP’s women’s Chelsea boots include the sort of styles and materials you’d traditionally expect – black and leather – but, in classic us style, we’ve also found some of the more alternative Chelsea boots that play with colours, prints and fabrics. Our selection of women’s Chelsea boots include standout pieces like the flower print boots by alternative brand Dockers by Gerli. Other ways our Chelsea boots put a twist on a classic is a pair embellished with chains and pearls.

Whether you’re after a simple, reliable pair for your everyday needs or you’re looking for something with that classic EMP effect, shop our full collection of women’s Chelsea boots today! You’ll want to give any inferior footwear the boot afterwards…
