Johanna | Chelsea Boots Buckle Strap Lug Sole

Buckles catch light. Tread bites. Go.

These finish right at the ankle bone, so they sit cleanly under cropped denim and just as well against a midi hem. The lace-up front lets you draw the instep tighter or ease it off, which helps a narrow foot or a high arch find its line. Polished buckle straps run along the outer side for a heritage note. They run true to size for most, with room for a thicker sock if you take the next size up.

Lug Sole That Keeps You Steady The deep tread grips damp pavement and cobbles, so you can take the long way home without watching your footing. A low stacked heel lifts you without pitching you forward.

Buckle Straps That Give Them Character Two metal buckles interrupt the plain lace-up shape, which is what separates these from the ladies chelsea boots already in your hallway. They stay decorative, so the lacing does the real work of holding your foot.

An Ankle Height That Works All Week The shaft stops short enough to keep the leg looking long under trousers, and high enough to stay put on a commute. Between the office and a wet weekend, they cover the ground a pair of hunter chelsea boots would, with far more polish.

Structured Upper With a Hard-Wearing Sole Unit A firm, smooth-faced upper holds its shape around the ankle rather than slumping after a few wears, with topstitched panel seams and a reinforced heel counter. The chunky moulded lug sole is bonded to the upper and finished with a stacked-effect heel.

Wear with turned-up straight-leg jeans and a long wool coat, or with a knitted midi dress and ribbed socks.
