Use & wear

Humid Climate

I primarily wear these boots indoors, as I work in a corpo office that requires more formal, yet sleek footwear. Additionaly, these boots can withstand the humid climate in my country.

Patina Process

Like any other characteristic of teacore leather, this leather offers flexibility yet remains durable and strong, even in it's first wear. So, it is not so hard to wear nor to break. I like to see the black exterior of the leather while maintaining the raw edges. I intended to use it until the leather ages to a brownish colour, like a typical vintage teacore wear.

There is a room on my heel, but once I wear it, it fits me well. No snug or loose heel has ever happened to me.

Finishing

The reason I ordered a pair of chelsea boots is that they are suitable for my daily activities, such as office work, which I spend a lot of time doing as 9 to 5 worker. However, this doesn't stop me from using it for strolling around the city with my motorbike as well.

Sole & heel

The Cuban Heel is a type of heel that looks great on slimmer and sleeker boots. It is appropriate for my purpose to work in semi formal office attire and walk on the streets.

Final thoughts

Would Recommend
Good Value

I wear these boots with satisfaction because they serve my purpose as semi formal office footwear. Maybe there are some flaws or fit that doesn't fit me right, but the laceless boots from Briselblack have served me well.
