My husband doesn’t at all enjoy shopping especially if it’s for shoes or clothing for himself. So I tend to shop for him, and treat him to some new items for special occasions as a gift. With Christmas coming up, the days are going by so rapidly, I’m already trying to shop around and put up some presents. I’m especially looking at things that aren’t bank breaking, as I have a small budget to stick to, but that are still well made and worth the money.
I find that my husband switches between work shoes during the week and old trainers for his days off. It’s not always appropriate especially if he’s dressing smarter as we are going for a meal out or visiting family. A pair of smart-casual shoes that can be dressed up or down is just what he needed.
So I was very pleased to be sent a pair of boots from Shoezone. A place I have shopped before as I find their footwear to be reasonably priced. I received the Beckett Briggs Men’s Black Smart Chelsea Boots and I was impressed as soon as I unpacked them.
The boots are available in sizes 6 through to 12. I received a size 10, which my husband normally wears. He finds them true to size, fitting comfortably.
They have been designed with ease and practicality in mind. The sides are elasticated allowing the foot to slip in and out without the need of laces or zips and the added tab at the back makes them even easier to slide on. The stretchy sides also allow the bottom of your trousers to tuck inside for a casual look with skinny jeans.
Being Chelsea boots, they are likely to get the most wear during the winter months. The heel is small, just 3cm and the sole is cleated providing good grip and traction even on slippery, icy days.
After a few wears they are still looking fantastic. They haven’t scuffed or marked and a quick wipe with a damp cloth has had them shining again.
The boots retail at £19.99 and looking at them it’s hard to believe the low price. They look fabulous and even better when worn. They’ve been finished to a high standard with perfect seams and stitching and the outer material has a polished look. Unusually, as well as looking smart they are also comfortable, helped by a padded insole. After a family day out there were no complaints of aching feet.
They are a budget friendly option, making a wonderful Christmas present that is both practical for the time of year and stylish. I can just imagine my husband wearing them around the festive markets.
What I love the most is the timeless, classic style. They can be worn with a smart or casual outfit and are going to appeal to all ages. Easily another Christmas present sorted and for under £20.
Rating: 4.5/5
