We make chelsea boots in oxblood, cognac, and black calf. The Hampton is the black one.
The upper is leather, the lining is leather, the elastic gusset is twin-panel, and the construction is welted so the sole can be replaced when the upper still has life left. The last is rounded — the Hampton last — which means the toe box runs a touch wider than a dress oxford and a touch narrower than a work boot. Built to be worn under suit trousers on Tuesday and over jeans on Saturday.

A first chelsea, or a replacement for the pair you wore through. Built for men who walk in their boots.
Brush after wear. Condition with neutral cream once a season. Store with cedar shoe trees. Avoid water and salt.
Resoling. The welt allows the sole to be replaced when the upper still has life left. Take a worn pair to any cobbler in the United States — welted construction is the standard heritage every cobbler knows. We do not run a mail-in service at launch.
