The 14 Best Men’s Chelsea Boots for Any Budget
#3: Zara Brown Soft Leather Ankle Boots
Coming in at just under the $100 mark is this pair of Chelseas from fashion giant Zara.
Strangely, Zara doesn’t say that these are Chelseas. For some reason, Zara lumps all of their ankle boots together under one category, so you might not have run into these before if you were just searching for Chelseas.
Like the UO boots, these are simple and to the point Chelseas.
The upper is a blend of leather and elastane to provide a healthy amount of stretch.
These boots are also available in black, and there’s also a brown “athletic” version that features some significant differences, like differently shaped goring and a flatter sole. (Btw, check out this article on black vs. brown boots if you’re having trouble deciding.)
Best Men’s Chelsea Boots From $100-$200
This price range is a real sweet spot for Chelsea boots. This is where you’ll find really well-crafted boots that will last you multiple seasons, but at the same time, their price tags aren’t enormous.
#4: New Republic Harvey Leather Chelsea Boot
New Republic gets a lot of buzz for their affordable boots, and there are good reasons for that. Their Chelseas are surprisingly nice for the price, and they look great to boot (sorry).
New Republic has a few types of Chelsea boots, and many of them are constantly selling out, so they can be hard to find. Thankfully, it seems like the brand’s Harvey boot is readily available via Menlo House.
Featuring a natural crepe outsole, vegetable-tanned leather welt and a padded insole, the Harvey packs a big punch. It’s a minimal, contemporary Chelsea with a touch of stylistic branding on the heel tab. It also has a 100% leather lining, which makes this boot especially soft and breathable.
