Shovel your driveway, walk around the ski resort, or hit the town this winter. These Chelsea boots have you covered.

Easy to slip on and off, Chelsea boots are both functional and fashionable. With laceless design and durable uppers, these boots are built to handle both winter chores and après, in whatever order you please.

During winter, the Chelsea boot design has one advantage over traditional lace-up boot design: weatherproofing. Without laces, Chelsea boots only permit snow and slush to enter from above the ankle.

And dry feet are happy feet.

5 Stylish Chelsea Boots

Kamik Yukon C

Since 1898, Kamik has been making boots in Canada — a land full of snow, rain, and nasty weather. So these boots can likely handle your local snowstorm with ease. These Chelsea boots, in particular, are insulated and waterproof with leather uppers and a moisture-wicking liner.

Danner Mountain 600 Chelsea

One of the more hiking-friendly options on this list is the Mountain 600 Chelsea. Built on Danner’s beloved Mountain 600 platform, the Chelseas have full-grain leather uppers and a flexible collar to facilitate easy slipping on and off. An EVA midsole provides comfort and rebound, and Vibram Fuga outsoles with Megagrip provide grip.

Xtratuf Deck Boot
