The Dark Oak Roughout article is the perfect combination of a heavier-weight leather with a soft, forgiving characteristic. This is a true roughout article, meaning it is full-grain leather, but leather is turned inside out, using the flesh side for the surface. Since the full-grain side is still intact, the leather has its structure and strength while offering the waxed suede texture for the unmatched character.
Variations of the Chelsea boot have been a staple worldwide for nearly two centuries. This slip-on pattern dates back to the early 1800s as a riding boot, which is how it originally earned the 'Paddock boot' name. Only in the mid-1900s, when the boot was popular in England, was it referred to as a Chelsea, a district in southwest London.
This pattern carries over to multiple categories. It's easily dressed up or down, and in certain parts of the world, it's a preferred style for work boots, given the closed pattern and slip-on practicality.
The Grant Stone Chelsea is a combination of these categories. The goal was to find a balance between the Western and refined look. It will fit the bill as the work-horse boot or the daily commuter. Most importantly, we used strong, proven components to ensure longevity.
The UK last fits half a size large and has a fuller fit throughout, similar to our Leo last.
Variation is expected as this article is the antithesis of a cookie-cutter article.

Made with
Goodyear-welt Construction
Renowned for its durability and ability to be resoled repeatedly, Goodyear-welt construction involves stitching a welt—a strip of leather—around the shoe's perimeter, creating a cavity. After filling the cavity with the shank and cork, the sole is attached, providing strength and water resistance. This construction method results in shoes that are not only long-lasting but also easily repairable, making them a timeless investment in quality craftsmanship.
Built on the
UK Last
The UK last draws inspiration from the classic black Chelsea boots of the Beatles. Featuring an aesthetically elongated and sharper toe expression, the UK last provides the sophistication of a sleeker European last while still providing moderate arch support and breathing room for your forefoot.
