They look more like Doc Martens; they don't have a cuban heel and aren't pointy... Daisy-berkowitz 23:46, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Why is it called "dealer-boots"?

Beatle boots are cuban heeled, not all chelsea boots. Infact most chelsea boots these days are not. Sort it aht! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.98.159.158 (talk) 21:18, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Can we get a picture of someone from the victorian era wearing them? Drutt (talk) 21:57, 9 September 2010 (UTC)


 * text about Chelsea/Beatle now clarified I think. No picture from Victorian era, but external link shows an 1851 advert for the boot which gives a pretty clear idea of what the originals looked like. Libby norman (talk) 12:31, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

Improvements...and more needed
I've worked on this to improve referencing and flow and added a pic of The Beatles – who wore a customised variation of the Chelsea boot as described in the article – but it could still do with some more refs about applications in workwear. I had to remove section about US military LOx boots as this was unsourced, but it could go back in if suitable refs could be found (I tried and failed). I have put a citation needed flag on the workwear sentence that remains. Libby norman (talk) 12:28, 13 July 2014 (UTC)


 * I restored a bit to the lead and re-added the bit about Charles Goodyear, as that appeared to be sourced. Moved the images some.  You did good work!   Montanabw (talk)  21:39, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

In Popular Culture
It may behoove someone to throw in a reference to Star Wars, as the Imperial Stormtroopers wore Chelsea boots. The group in the first film wore black boots painted white, while subsequent troopers in the two sequels wore white leather Chelsea boots.

Contradiction on the origin of the term “Chelsea”
This article cites two different contradictory stories for the origin of the term “Chelsea” in reference to the boot, both from the 1830s and from the 1960s. 81.78.118.78 (talk) 11:25, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
