The Chelsea boots are generally well-received, with many customers finding them comfortable, easy to slip on and off, and suitable for wet weather and outdoor activities. However, some customers noted that the sizing runs large and recommended ordering a size down. A few customers also mentioned the boots felt stiff or caused discomfort. Overall, the boots are praised for their versatility and quality, but customers should be mindful of the sizing when making a purchase.

Runs big. I am typically a 7.5-8. I ordered a 7.5 and there is lots of extra room, I could’ve gotten away with a 7. Will work ok with thicker socks.

Didn't work for me
Fit - Width: Too wide
These were way too wide. They may be good for those with wide feet, but also take a size lower.

Very baggy at the top
Fit - Width: Slightly wide
I bought the boots thinking they would be great to throw on to take the dogs out when it’s wet. The problem is they’re so baggy at the top that my feet don’t stay dry.

Great Boots
