Last time I wrote about chelsea boots, a certain commenter shared some very strong feelings about the style. I was gonna respond, but then figured I would touch on it in my next chelsea write-up, because, unlucky for him, I have no plans to stop writing about them. Especially when brands like PSVA are dropping high-quality, cost-friendly versions that anyone can get behind. These Portuguese-made suede boots are lightweight, have a stacked leather heel and cool gold zipper that hides a pull tab, and – get ready for this – they’re liquid repellant. So, apologies to that one chelsea-hating reader, but I plan on supporting this Kickstarter by getting in on the $115 early bird special. And I suggest the rest of you do too.

For price and purchase info, visit PSVA’s Kickstarter page.
