With its classic design, nothing could possibly be done to improve the Chelsea boot -- and Norse Projects would tell you how wrong you are. Norse Projects Chelsea boots capture the classic Chelsea look with modern materials. The upper uses matte rubberized box leather with a soft, lightweight mesh lining and elastic side panels. The hiking-grade Vibram Ecostep outsole is made from 30% recycled rubber and has a multicolored speckle pattern -- a modern twist on an all-time classic.
