Description

The Lila Chelsea Boots were developed by Anya to be a cute, classy, and versatile ankle boot in a healthy foot shape. They are 100% handmade using naturally tanned leather, cotton thread, and a pure rubber outsole. Leather detailing covers the elastic for a sleek look. They are comfortable for all day wear, can be dressed up, and are stylish. Note that the sole is made of natural leather and rubber, which can feel stiff when brand new. The leather softens with wear and conforms to your foot.

*Because leather is a natural material, there may be slight color and texture variations.

Fit Type:
  • Toe box: Slope & Mountain. This shoe works best for people with their 1st or 2nd toe longest. A square shaped foot might not have enough space for the outer toes (see Anya’s post on foot types).
  • Volume: High. Those with low volume feet should plan to use insoles and/or shoe tongue pads (see what is foot volume?).
  • Width: Medium Wide - These boots are consistent with average width barefoot shoe brands

Sizing

Sizing varies between brands. Where possible, please use the foot length measurement to estimate your correct size. For the most accurate sizing, refer to the chart on the product page. There are also some generic brand size charts here.

Darker brown than I thought

They are a darker brown than I thought they would be. Additionally their fit seems quite small, I'd recommend a size bigger than what you'd normally buy. They are cute though. I think they're quite ridged so I'm keen to see how they soften over time. Not a lot of cushion in the soul. Because mines quite a tight fit, I don't think I could add any extra cushion cos it won't fit. So,.I'll just see how I go over time! 🙏

Thanks for the feedback Priscilla. We appreciate that sometimes product photos don't reflect the true colour of natuarlly dyed leather shoes and it's a shame they were different from your expectations. The sole is made of natural leather and rubber, which can feel stiff when brand new. The leather softens with wear and conforms to your foot so it should get better for you.

Not quite as expected but still lovely

The stock photos imo are a bit deceiving- rather than a mid tan the true colour of these is a russet brown. I do like and will keep them but the bright lighting make them seem lighter than they are.
Additionally there was a fair bit of glue between the elastic on the ankle. The elastic is very stiff and it has made it very, very (almost unreasonably) hard to get the boot on and off. I have average sized ankles so those with larger may need a shoe horn to get your feet in and out until the elastic gives somewhat over time.

It’s something to note but dont let it deteriorate you, the shoe is very pretty and i can see myself wearing them a fair amount as the weather cools or trans-seasonally.

Looks great, comfy, a tad hard to put on

Walked 15,000 steps first time wearing them with no discomfort! I have a wide foot and these are a great fit- though hard to put on- the tag in the back doesn’t have enough room for my finger to pull on so need to use a pen to help. Once on- love them! The tan color is a perfect rich tan! I love that they’re great for casual or more dressy!

Very narrow fit.

I wanted to love these boots because they are beautiful and look great but they are just far too narrow. So narrow in fact that I would hesitate to even call them "barefoot" shoes.
