Chelsea boots are normally true to size, so there's no need to size up or down. If your Chelsea boots feel too loose, pop on an extra pair of socks. Check for a gap between the boot and your ankle. The elasticated side panel helps keep this a close fit, so there should be no gap here.

Sleek boots with a stacked heel: Don't worry, if you bought THEEE Chelsea boots (HERE or HERE) or a pair of black city or ankle boots, they're still going strong this year. They're particularly good with wider leg jeans (cropped or full length) and perfect for those cold climates.

Do Chelsea boots stretch? The elastic and leather of the boots will stretch over time through wear, meaning it is essential to get a good snug fit from the start, ensuring your heel is not slipping out of the boots when you walk. Although the fit should be snug, do not force your feet into a pair of Chelsea boots.

Obviously, which size you go for depends on personal preference. If you're someone who prefers a little bit of extra space then go a half-size up from your true to size fit. Similarly, stick true to size if you like having the most feeling of the ball when it's at your feet. Do not go down a half-size.
