,,Chelsea boots are the pizza margarita of shoes. Without all the extras, all you need are a few basic ingredients that are perfectly coordinated. In terms of styling, you could say the look of the elastic inserts, the height of the boot and the shape of the last are the dough, tomato sauce and mozzarella of this shoe. The machine that bulges the leather for the instep is the wood-fired oven. And our logo is the basil leaf to round it all off."
