The first Chelsea boot was designed by Queen Victoria’s bootmaker, Mr J Sparkes-Hall, in 1837. Elastic inserts to either side made it easier to pull them on and off her majesty and that simple feature rings true to this day. The CL Chelsea style from Christian Louboutin maintains the ease of the slip-on design, but quite literally elevates it by adding a block heel. Perfect for the contemporary woman on the go, they can be styled in myriad ways and always result in an elegant ensemble. Please note, Christian Louboutin’s signature lacquered soles will wear out with use; this is normal wear and tear and is not considered to be a manufacturing defect. Please try these shoes on a carpeted surface, as any damage to the soles may prevent us from accepting returns.
