Urban Wolf Club
Works with my office job and outdoor hobbies. Haven't owned Chelsea's before. Wanted to support a small maker.
I chose my usual boot size. The fit is good although my skinny ankles make all boots feel wide at the opening.
Easy to order online via PayPal. Took several weeks to arrive because they are MTO model and requires customs inspection.
I have an office job but enjoy outdoor hobbies. It's starting to get colder here but the snow hasn't arrived.
I was pleasantly surprised at the tight break and rolls. The break in process was minimal as it's quite pliable. Being a laceless boot it's a bit tight but starting to stretch to my movements.
I don't know which lasts they use or their names. However their Chelsea boot last is comfortable. There is no Arch, but I have a high arch so I don't need one. The toe box is wide at EE. There is a good amount of volume as well. I have a slightly higher InStep so there is a tiny bit of tightness there, being a laceless boot I expected that and it's a good thing since they will stretch a little bit.
A simple design, but elegant. The finishing is high quality, the welt joins are very clean, low SPI in the welt - high SPI in the uppers. Lining is a good quality leather is a good thickness and smells nice. The rubber hardware used is quality.
I quite like the appearance and the brass nails. The heel seems to be wearing a bit fast, but I do walk on gravel trails so that can be quite hard on them. The traction is good comfort is acceptable, I didn't expect Uber comfort from rubber but not bad.
Good, nothing of note. Standard block heel
I was pleasantly surprised at almost every aspect, especially for the price. I came in with positive expectations since all of the few reviews I read were very positive, and these blew them away above and beyond. I'm very happy with my purchase.
