Chelsea boot
Elastic side boot
A Chelsea boot is an ankle-high boot with elastic side panels and a loop at the back for pulling it on.
The snug fit and lack of laces give it a sleek silhouette, making it popular for both casual and dressy wear: He paired Chelsea boots with his suit.
Named for the fashionable London neighborhood.
