Historical origin

In Victorian England, a man named J.Sparkes-Hall invented Chelsea boots. He used to be Queen Victoria's royal shoemaker. Thanks to the invention of vulcanized rubber in 1839, he designed the elastic band on the booties, which made the Queen's boots inseparable from her feet every day. Soon, the shoes invented by J.Sparkes-Hall were in circulation in the city.

In addition, some people say that these boots were originally used as riding shoes, but at that time breeches were designed for high boots, so they were used as daily shoes. In the mid-1950s, a group of young artists, filmmakers and sociologists began to wander around King'sRoad in west London, which was called ChelseaSet by the media at that time.

Their lifestyle and dress are called Chelsea, and this group includes two fashion idols: mary quant and JeanShrimpton. They started to wear high-top boots and decided that ChelseaBoots was the "ultimate casual shoes", so they simply changed their name to Chelsea boots.
