If the last 3 years have taught us anything, it’s that Chelsea Boots are among the most versatile boots out there. They can do it all, from rough ‘n’ rugged to rest ‘n’ recreation, all while looking fantastic. If you want something more elevated than a certain wildly popular Tasmanian boot, Meermin has you covered with its Waxy Calf Chelsea.

This edition of Meermin’s popular Chelsea is crafted from Waxy Calf leather from Prime Tanning Industries. Meermin maximizes the beauty of this thick, vegetable-tanned leather with a wholecut upper, meaning it’s entirely made from one piece of leather and only stitched together at the back of the heel, making for a sleek and beautiful silhouette. Of course, it also has a Goodyear welted sole, making it fully recraftable and placing these Chelseas in the upper echelon of pull-on-and-go stompers.

Each pair is fitted with a tonal lug sole that balances style and utility, dual pull tabs for easy put-on, horsehide lining, and a vegetable-tanned leather insole. And thanks to Meermin’s direct-to-consumer-only model, these clock in under $270. Considering you can wear these on pretty much any occasion, and re-sole if needed, that’s a lot of boot for your buck.

Available for $265 from Meermin.
