The Chelsea Boot - Black Calf
Why 70% off?
The Avelmore family received an offer to sell the brand and move production to a factory line. They refused, and chose to close the workshop instead. Every pair is still bench-lasted by hand in Almansa, Goodyear welted, and built to outlive the brand that made it. This is the final production run at 70% off. Not a promotion. A farewell on their own terms. When the last pair ships, the name retires with it. No restocking. No exceptions.
Description
The Chelsea Boot is made with a wholecut upper, defined by its smooth, continuous shape and sharp silhouette. Set on a Goodyear welted studded rubber sole with an elegant 3 cm heel.
Details
- Full leather lining
- Wholecut construction
- Box calf leather
- Goodyear welted construction
- Studded rubber sole
Fit & sizing
Please refer to our size guide above
Chelsea boots should fit comfortably and securely. The heel should stay snug without slipping, ensuring stability, while the toe box should allow slight movement of the toes. The elastic side panels should hug the ankle closely to prevent gaps. The boots should fit snugly around the sides without pinching and feel comfortable from the start.
After a few wears, the cork layer in the sole and the leather upper will gradually conform to the shape of your feet, providing an even better fit.
Care
- Rotate between wears and insert shoe trees after use to retain shape and minimise creasing.
- Use a shoe horn when putting them on and remove the boots by hand to protect the heel.
- Brush or wipe the leather upper after wear to remove dust and light surface marks.
- Clean with a leather cleaner when needed, then apply a thin layer of cream or polish if the leather looks dry.
- Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap when required.
- Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
1-Year Craftsmanship Warranty
Each pair is backed by a 1-year warranty covering any defect in construction, stitching or sole attachment. The warranty is honoured until the last day, even after the workshop closes.
30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee
Not completely satisfied? Return or exchange your pair within 30 days of delivery, no questions asked. Your confidence matters to us, and we will always make it right.
Beware of Copies. Official Store
Avelmore is only sold through this official store. Because of the closing sale, replicas and unauthorised sellers have appeared online using our images and lasts, but those copies use corrected-grain leather, glued soles and carry no warranty. Every pair bought here is 100% authentic, full-grain, quality-checked and fully backed. Buy with confidence, straight from the workshop.

How to measure your feet:
1. Wear the socks you typically pair with boots.
2. Place your foot on a piece of paper and trace its outline.
3. Measure from the heel to the longest toe using a ruler.
4. Match your measurement to the table above and adjust for foot shape accordingly.Note: The CM and Inch values above correspond to the recommended size based on your foot's length, not the shoe's internal length.
Adjust for foot shape:
– Normal: Choose the size closest to your measurement.
– Wide and/or high instep: Choose a full size larger than your nearest measurement.
– Narrow: Choose the size closest to your measurement.Need help?– Chat: click on the chat icon in the bottom right corner– Email: hello@Avelmore.com
Thirteen years in the same workshop in Almansa. The same benches, the same wooden lasts, the same hands. A pair took days, not minutes, and left only when it was right.
That is also why it ends. We were asked to move production abroad and cut the welt. We said no, and closed instead.
What remains is the final run, now at 70% off. When a size is gone, it is gone.
Shoes like these outlive the workshop that made them. That was always the point.

Fit is perfect
Sized half down like the guide said. Fit is perfect. Great loafers, well priced for the quality.
Best shoes ever
These are the best shoes I've ever bought!
Real welted construction
Checked the sole before wearing them. Stitched welt, no glue. Real leather, not corrected grain like most at this price. Very happy.
Works with everything
Works with a suit and with chinos. No blisters on day one, which never happens with new shoes for me.
Bought for my dad
Bought them for my dad. He's picky about shoes and hasn't taken them off in three weeks.
Ordered a second pair
Ordered a second pair in brown before my size sold out. Shame they're closing.
Better in person
Better in person than the photos.
Was sceptical about the discount
Thought there had to be a catch at 70% off. Took the risk anyway. Arrived in 9 days and there's nothing wrong with them. Honestly a shame they're closing.
Broke in fast
Broke in after about three days. No heel bite at all.
Fast shipping
Fast shipping, shoes as described.
Replaced my daily shoes
Wore the same pair for six years and these replaced them. Stitching is even all the way round and the heel hasn't worn down after a month of commuting. Good quality.
Good for wide feet
Wide feet here. Went half a size up and they fit properly. Finally.
Handled the rain fine
Got caught in the rain walking home. Dried them slowly with trees in and they were fine, no water line on the toe. Leather held up well.
Coworker asked about them
A colleague asked where I got them. They look way more expensive than what I paid.
A month in, still happy
A month in, no complaints. Grabbed my size when I saw only a few left.
