Two brands, one passion
Visit nowThe classic women’s ankle boot gets ready for winter! Equipped with a stable Dainite rubber lug sole and soft lambskin lining, this Goodyear-welted Chelsea boot in black will get you through the cold seasons comfortably and in style.
The Chelsea boot has been considered the most exciting ankle boot ever since the Beatles made it popular. The members of that legendary British band swore on these ankle boots, which reached just above the ankle and came with striking rubber elastic side inserts, and often wore them to their concerts. The black Chelsea boot captivates with its simple design, especially when it’s made from the finest smooth leather, as is the case with No. 260. Goodyear-welted on an elegant last and equipped with the typical flat heel, this boot has long served as a timeless complement of the discerning woman’s wardrobe.
We’ve equipped No. 260 with some winter-proof extras so you don’t have to do without this versatile shoe on colder days. While the upper part of the shaft of this black Chelsea boot for women is made of premium calfskin, you can defy the cold with the help of warm lambskin, which graces the insole and interior of the shaft. Furthermore, a Dainite rubber sole guarantees stability – even on snowy, icy, or slippery surfaces – without compromising the simple Chelsea boot design by creating an overly tough appearance. Viewed from the side, the thin rubber sole is practically indistinguishable from a leather sole.
A mix of timeless looks and weather-resistant materials transforms No. 260 into a stylishly elegant choice for the wet, cold season.
Boots have a shaft that reaches five to ten centimeters above the ankle. These shoes are sturdier than classic flat shoes, and offer feet better protection during inclement weather.
Gently rounded towards the toe, with a toe box that rises slightly from the ground. This last lies close to the foot at the instep, and is of an average width at the middle. Significantly narrower than the classic last, the elegant last is recommended for average and low insteps.
This shoe’s upper has been crafted from medium-soft, fully-dyed calfskin. The technical term for this type of premium leather is "box calf". Box calf boasts an even grain and a firm grip.
Harboro Rubber has been making abrasion-resistant Dainite outsoles by hand since 1892. These thin rubber soles are 11 millimetres thick, and do an excellent job of protecting shoes from cold, wet weather. Viewed from the side, a Dainite sole looks just like a leather sole.
Enjoy warm feet and excellent traction in winter, thanks to soft lambskin lining and a stabilizing, military-style rubber lug sole. Perfect for cold, wet weather.
The gold standard when it comes to shoe manufacturing. Goodyear welting is a painstaking process that involves stitching the shaft and outsole to a thin strip of leather. Shoes made this way are extremely stable, durable, breathable, and easy to repair.
Mass-produced shoes are glued together on assembly lines. All of our premium, full-leather shoes, on the other hand, are handcrafted to the finest standards of quality. You can see and feel the difference.
The high quality of these shoes is reflected in their high leather content. Their uppers, lining, insoles, and outsoles are made from the finest leather. They even have leather heels, made by painstakingly stacking thin layers of leather on top of one another.
These shoes consist of roughly 65 separate parts. They took about 210 steps to assemble. We rely upon premium materials and traditional production methods to ensure that our footwear is of the absolute highest quality.
These shoes come equipped with a so-called "gentleman's corner". This is a small notch cut from the inside corner of the heel. This has a practical purpose—it prevents your trouser leg from catching on your shoe.
This shoe boasts a high proportion of leather, and has been assembled without the use of adhesive bonding—both of these factors ensure proper air circulation and prevent moisture from penetrating the surface. Dry, well-ventilated feet are healthy feet.
Of course, our focus is on your new pair of shoes. But to underline our passion for our products, we enclose a few extras in your shipment. We hope that sparks your excitement about your new footwear.
Our passion for our products is reflected in their packaging. All of our shoes come in an elegant black shoebox emblazoned with the SHOEPASSION.com logo. Said shoebox is easy to open, thanks to a special opening on the side, and comes with a note on our philosophy.
Should you find yourself in need of new shoelaces, look no further: this pair of Goodyear-welted shoes comes with a spare pair of shoelaces. Made of 100% cotton and treated with wax, these shoelaces are of the very best quality.
These shoes come stored inside two shoe bags, packed into a shoebox. Shoe bags are a great way to maintain their condition—they protect your footwear from soiling and scratching. They also let you transport your shoes in style.
Goodyear-welted shoes last far longer than mass-produced models. A dedicated cleaning and care routine is an indispensable part of keeping your shoes in mint condition. An introductory guide to shoe care is included with your order.
SHOEPASSION - ONE STEP FURTHER
While most of our peers in the shoe industry are still unable to guarantee shoes that are »made in the EU«, we’re able to prove that our shoes are just that. We use leather from France and Germany, manufacture our shoes in Spain, and run distribution and logistics in Germany—our shoes are 100% made in Europe.
For many companies, all that matters are the profits; they fail to take notice of the disastrous conditions under which hides are taken in Bangladesh, or shoes are manufactured in China. We turn instead to traditional European tanneries and Spanish craftsmanship, to the benefit of man and nature alike.
Our promise: since you’re purchasing directly from the manufacturer, you’re spared the typical high margins. You’re also spared the additional cost of paying for a brand name. Thanks to our advantageous wide reach and our low cost structure, we’re able to offer sensationally low prices.
From the provenance and treatment of the leather we use, to the conditions in our Spanish factory, to delivery with our logistics partner, we don’t leave any stone unturned. We provide copious, transparent information on every step in our supply chain.
SHOEPASSION.com was founded by a pair of shoe lovers, and each and every employee focuses on satisfying our shoe-loving customers.

Lots of brands are quick to conceal the production methods behind their products, as well as the origins of the materials they use. We, on the other hand, have nothing to hide. From the very beginning, our products have been »Made in the EU«, in the classic sense. As such, we treat both our fellow man and the natural environment in a way that’s ecologically sustainable and ethically responsible. Each step on our supply chain is entirely transparent for you to see—that’s a promise we’re happy to stand by.
