Let’s be real: $398 is a lot to pay for a pair of womens chelsea boots, but one of the best reviews we read makes the case for their value: “I was really on the fence about spending $400 on a pair of boots, but I went for it and received the most perfect and comfortable boot! The feel of the leather is so soft and doesn’t cut into my ankle when I walk. The heel height is also low, so you can be on your feet all day.”

"I ordered these on a whim and then once I hit purchase I started to feel guilty about buying them due to budgeting purposes I tried to cancel my order, but I had to receive them first though to do so. Once I received them and put them on, I loved them (and so did my husband, who is very picky!). So happy I didn’t return them. They’re so cool and comfy, and I love they’re waterproof!"

The pointed, steel-inforced toe of these ankle boots is what makes them instantly eye-catching. But there’s more to love, because these booties are made with super-soft calf hair and include elastic gore insets.
