If driving shoes are the face of Tod's, then the Chelsea boot is the one that most people know about. This design, also known as the side gore boot, was linked to the mod boom of the 1960s. The epicenter was the Chelsea district of London.
Two Chelsea boots line the shoe closet of the discerning customer.
. One is a pair clad in glossy brushed leather. Combined with the iconic rubber pebbles on the heel and the military-like monoblock sole, these boots will make your feet the star of the show.
Authentic upper with military-style outsole . . Wear them with chinos or jeans for a casual look.¥116,600
. The other is a pair that utilizes the natural suppleness of leather. . This one has an elegant rubber sole that looks like a leather sole, and will be a useful weekday companion.
This is a versatile model that fits in with both casual and formal outfits.¥108,900
Both pairs will feature the Tod's monogram logo on the crease of the topline.
As we noticed when we put the Chelsea boots on the chopping block, all of the models that are the face of the Maison have a slip-on construction. Tod's pursuit of comfort is hardcore.
