Marnate Patina Chelsea Chelsea Boot for Men - Hand-Painted Chelsea Boots

Marnate is a Chelsea boot hand-painted in a smoky, layered patina. The colour deepens at the toe and heel and lightens across the vamp, so the boot looks as if it has been polished for years. Elastic side panels and a pull tab make it quick to put on, and the slim almond toe keeps it sharp enough for a suit.

A Chelsea boot has elastic side panels and a pull tab instead of laces, so it slides on in seconds and hugs the ankle. It is the most versatile boot a man can own. It is built on a stitched leather sole with a stacked heel, so it can be resoled when it wears down. The burnish is built up slowly by hand, so the colour deepens at the toe and heel and the leather keeps developing depth with every polish. Wear it with slim trousers, denim or a suit - the clean front means it works across dress codes. Handmade by Melodiapelle, it is built to be worn for years, not seasons.
