Our Notes

Since they launched in 2018, our Waterproof Chelsea Boots have been through everything customers can throw at them — country walks, dog walking in wet grass, wading through puddles and streams, and rainy commutes to work. They're the boot that answers the classic Chelsea's one weakness: the weather.

The waterproofing works in layers. The uppers are onMicro® waterproof vegan leather (100% PU) — a breathable, PFC-free microfibre by Grupo Morón that keeps water out while letting feet breathe — with a PFC-free Sympatex® membrane sealed inside, so the protection lasts rather than washing out. And they're built for the worst months of the year in a way traditional leather never was: the uppers are highly durable and won't rot, mark, or stain with road salt, so there's none of the tide-marking and drying-out that winter streets inflict on leather boots. The sole is direct-injected — moulded and bonded straight to the upper for a strong, fully sealed join with no stitching for water to find — a dual-density PU sole with a rubber tread layer, lightweight cushioning with grip where it meets the ground, with a 3cm heel and 1cm under the toe.

The shape stays true to the classic: a clean rounded toe, elasticated side panels, and a pull tab at the heel, in a regular width and volume that suits long distances. Inside, Portuguese vegan suede (100% PU) lines the boot, and a removable contoured PU sports insole follows the shape of your foot for cushioned, supportive comfort — swap it for your own orthotic if that's how you walk. Rain on the forecast stops being a wardrobe question.

Ethics & Origin

This product is ethically made in Portugal under EU employment, discrimination and health & safety law. It's vegan from the uppers and linings to the glue. It's delivered to you in plastic-free paper and cardboard packaging. We measure the emissions from making and delivering it, and work to a plan to reduce them.

Care Guide

Clean: Wipe the uppers and outsoles with warm soapy water and a cloth or soft brush, then towel dry thoroughly.

Polish: A synthetic polish can be used to bring back shine and refresh the colour — any synthetic product should work fine, applied as described in its instructions. If your footwear has a burnished effect on the toes and sides (we apply a darker polish to some of our brown vegan leather uppers for effect), this is best reapplied by a cobbler, or at home using a darker shade of polish worked around the toes and sides.

Drying: You can dry your footwear on top of or near a radiator or other heat source. Depending on the heat, it can take a few days to dry out the insides fully. Never put your footwear in the washing machine.

Deodorising: Don't let your footwear stay damp between wears, especially inside boots, as this can damage the water resistance and let microbes develop, causing a smell. If this happens, dry the footwear thoroughly and use a footwear deodoriser until the smell stops. In extreme cases, wash the insides out with warm soapy water, then dry fully and reapply the deodoriser.

Waterproofing (optional): You can treat the uppers with a waterproofing spray to improve durability, stain resistance and water resistance. We recommend doing this every 2–3 months depending on use — most standard waterproofing sprays work fine on our vegan leather.

Size Chart

We've made this chart to help you choose the right size. You'll need your foot length measurement to get started. Once you've found your perfect fit with us, you can typically select the same size for all other models.

Fit and comfort notes:

Width and volume: our footwear is designed with a slightly wider D width fitting, offering more width and volume than most brands.
Materials: we use high quality vegan leather and suede. These materials are stable and won't stretch out significantly over time, so we recommend sizing up for comfort.
The perfect fit: you don't want the shoes to pinch your feet. You should have wiggle room for your toes and no rub points.
Feel: in most cases you'll find our footwear is comfy straight out of the box. Depending on the style or your foot shape, it can sometimes take a few wears for the uppers to soften and mould to your feet.

How to take your foot length measurement

Stand on a hard surface with your heel against a wall.
Measure your foot from the heel (the wall) to the longest point of your toes.
Use this number to find your size in the chart above.

It is helpful to measure both feet, as one foot is often slightly larger than the other. Always choose the size that accommodates your longest foot.
