A Chelsea boot built for winter without looking like one. The silhouette stays true to the classic — clean elastic gusset, pull tab at the back, a rounded toe with no seams across the vamp — but everything under and inside it has been rethought for cold, wet months.
The upper is onMicro® waterproof vegan leather (100% PU), a breathable PFC-free microfibre that holds its shape and takes the weather without the surface going dull. Behind it sits a PFC-free Sympatex® membrane, lab-tested waterproof, so rain and slush stay out while the boot still breathes. Underneath that again is PrimaLoft® insulation made with 90% recycled content — the warmth is worked into the structure of the boot rather than added as a bulky liner, which is why it stays this trim through the ankle.
The sole is direct-injected: moulded and bonded straight onto the upper, so there's no seam for water to find, in a dual-density PU with a rubber tread layer over it. That combination is what makes the boot feel light for something this substantial — cushioning above, grip below, deep lugs cut into the tread for slush and wet pavements. There's no shank; the cushioned midsole does the supporting, which keeps the underfoot feel soft and flexible rather than rigid. Inside, Portuguese vegan suede (100% PU) lines the boot with an onSteam® breathable microfibre footbed, over a contoured memory-foam insole that follows the shape of your foot and lifts out if you'd rather use your own.
This is a boot for the outdoor end of winter. Cargo trousers with the hem gathered at the shaft, a waxed or padded jacket, a heavy knit and a scarf — the lugged sole is built for cold mud, wet leaves and frozen pavements, and it reads as though it means it. Turn-up jeans and a long coat work the same way in town. In brown it warms towards stone, olive and camel, worn with an overshirt or a field jacket. Wear them on a walk that turns properly wet, then keep them on for wherever you're going afterwards.

The boots are very good quality, totally waterproof and warm but comfort and fit could be improved.
I was confused by the seemingly contradictory reviews on here, but after wearing the boots they all make sense. First the positives. The boots are very warm, and fully waterproof. They're quite elegant too so they were perfect for my London winter commute and then I could keep them on all day in the office. I have severe Raynauds and these are noticeably warmer than any other shoes yet somehow don't often feel too warm indoors.
Now for the downsides. The boots are quite long and narrow. Without half sizes available it makes it tricky to get an ideal fit. They do expand in width a bit with wear but I don't think I could've gone down another full size. They look OK but a little bigger and more masculine than I would've liked ideally.
The break in period for these was really long and uncomfortable. Particularly the right boot had a crease that painfully dug into my foot with each step. It took about 2 months of continuous wear for that to go away. Even now I probably wouldn't take them as my only boots on a trip with lots of walking. I can't really power walk in them but for day to day that's alright. I'm not sure if it was a size issue or a material issue that led to the creasing but it would be great if that could be improved.
Overall these work about 80% of what I wanted them for. Not totally sure if I would recommend them given how painful it was to break them in, but customer service really was excellent so maybe give them a go, see if it works for you.
Looks fantastic but the left shoe really hurt my forefoot, pinching the first MTP joint. Painful walking in it. Maybe they just need to be broken in? Had to stop wearing them. I have the non-insulated Chelsea boots for awhile and no issues with those at all.
Hi Fran,
Really sorry about this. The uppers do soften and 'break in' with wear, but with our shoes I'd recommend that if they're not out-of-the-box comfy, it's best to swap out for a higher size.
If these aren't working out for you, please let us know – we don't like to think you've made a purchase you're not happy with. Just drop us a message and we can ship out a higher size for you to try. For the pair you have, to save on waste, you're welcome to hold onto them for a friend or charity shop if they've been worn outside.
Here to help if you need anything – just reply back to this email or message me direct on wg@wills-vegan-shoes.com.
Best,
Will

Ich weiß nicht wo ihr das mit den -22° getestet habt - ich kann das nicht bestätigen. Ab 0° wird es mit den Schuhen schon schwierig. Darüber hinaus sind sie enganliegend, richtig dicke Socken sind also nicht drin.
Find sie auch ziemlich schwer.
Einen Stern mehr, weil ich bisher nur einmal ausgerutscht bin.
