Great!
True to size. Great quality. Haven't had them in the rain yet to test waterproofing but they seem like they'll be fine. They are very stiff and rub a little on the back of your leg.

leather not smooth, lived-in look
Was looking for waterproof Chelsea boots that look good and durable and this specific boot came up in an article as their top recommendation. The picture on the Nordstrom site gives the appearance like the leather of the boot is very smooth however, when I received the product, it looks very wrinkly, which is not the look I was going for. If you like the lived-in look, then this is fine, it just wasn’t what I wanted.

Really nice for narrow feet!
These are beautiful, well-made boots. The sizing runs a bit large. I am a true women's 8.5, so I started there. They were a little loose, so I exchanged them for an 8. The 8 fit better; however, they are a smidge tight on my right foot. They run VERY narrow. This is a plus for me, as I have an incredibly narrow foot, but they are tight in the toe box even on me. They offer a bit of arch support, with a nice insole. Overall, very impressed with these.

My Favorite Chelsea Boot
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are some of my favorite shoes that I own. I own them in both black and brown. They've traveled with me all of the world and are truly waterproof. They're comfortable and didn't take any time to break in. I've worked, traveled and hiked in them with no problem and they still look great. Highly recommend.

Great for thousands of steps a day!
"I needed a weather-resistant ankle boot capable of handling thousands of daily steps for travel. Since my Ariat riding boots have felt like wearing a cloud from day one, I checked the brand's lineup and found their Chelsea boot—a great alternative to the Blundstone 'Blunnies' I previously loved. I ordered a half-size down, and they fit perfectly with plenty of room. They offer fantastic traction, excellent weather protection, and incredible comfort right out of the box!

Classy Boots
To me, this boot looks very unassuming in the pictures. I thought I was buying a simple utilitarian boot but there is much more to the Chelsea. It has clean, classy lines and looks very sharp with boot cut jeans and straight leg trousers. I love all my Ariat boots but this one has become my new go to. As with all Ariat boots, they were completely comfortable right out of the box and true to size. Thank you Ariat for making such cute, classy, comfortable boots!

Love them’
I love these boots! Bought them in 10.5, my normal size, because I wanted some nice waterproof boots to wear on a trip to Scotland. So far they have worked perfectly! I was concerned I should have bought an 11 to allow room for wool socks, but these were perfectly sized. And they have worn wonderfully right out of the box-no breaking in needed. Would repurchase in a heartbeat!
