Almost four years ago, I bought Chelsea boots because they’re apparently what Jared Padalecki wore in Supernatural and they looked good there - practicality didn’t enter my mind.
They arrived two days after I got home from the hospital from breaking my ankle. I didn’t put them on.
Yesterday I had to go out in the snow and couldn’t find my Wolverine boots, so I finally put on the Chelsea boots since they provide ankle support and had tread. They were amazingly comfortable and I didn’t slip!
I have a cheap shitty pair I that were originally from H&M that I found thrifting. The fake leather is disintegrating but I do like that style! They look nice, are comfy, and have been nice to slip on and off
I haven’t found mine easy to slip on and off - possibly due to the various injuries I’ve sustained impacting the ankle - but I agree with the rest.
Yeah, I can absolutely see that making it harder. Theyre fairly easy for me to throw on in general, but compared to lacing up proper boots theyre crazy convenient
What are “proper boots”?
I mean like lace up boots without the zipper on the side. Especially when its made of thick or stiff material I find it really hard to cinch the material tight around my feet, and the laces dig into my hands trying to pull them tight and hold the laces while I get the bow tied
Perhaps “proper” kind of conveys a judgment for shoes that aren’t lace up, I didn’t really think about it till now
