The waterproof exterior and heavily lugged soles (for excellent traction) of Sam Edelman’s Laguna Chelsea Boot are useful updates to the classic Chelsea boot look. And the elastic gore insets help with easy-on, easy-off while the 1.5″ heels add some height without introducing discomfort. The treated leather upper, far from luxurious, feels stiff at first, but will stretch and soften with wear. This boot fits true to size. However, as this is a pull-on style, for those with a high instep, wider feet, or if you plan to wear heavier socks with this shoe, consider sizing up (or order it in a wide width). A well-fitted pair of boots should never feel too narrow in width, nor should your toes press up against the toe cap. LTKshoecrush LTKsalealert LTKstyletip
