These are pretty comfy. Had to go full size down from brannock yet they are still kinda loose on me in the instep. A little bit of heel slip but I get that with all my non-laced boots. I like how the back of these are curved inwards. I guess they designed the Chelsea’s that way so it locks in your heel. The toe box and the Elias’s toe box are very similar in style and shape. I hope that GS decides to make a Crimson Cxl Elias boots in the future because that would be nice. I love Cxl. It shines up so nicely just from brushing. I applied some VSC to these when I got them but have applied second coat because I don’t want them super shiny.
