Chelsea boots
The Chelsea boot silhouette has been considered a classic wardrobe for several years, with many brands even integrating the popular style into their own footwear lines. The boots have also regularly appeared on runways from brands like Bottega Veneta and others in the high fashion world.
In September 2023, Converse released its Run Star Legacy Chelsea boot CX. Available in both black and white colorways, the ankle-length boots combined the classic Converse lace-up sneaker with a traditional Chelsea boot shape.
Jake Gyllenhaal’s shoe style
Based on his documented history of red carpet appearances and talk show guest spots, the “Road House” star is a clear fan of a thick-soled black shoe. In November 2022, Gyllenhaal was seen in a pair of glossy black dress shoes at the “Strange World” family gala screening in London. The lace-up style featured a patent leather material, chunky leather sole and rounded toe.
