Why We Love This Deal
No fall wardrobe is full without a pair of Chelsea boots, the laceless pull-on staple that goes with everything. Chelsea boots tend to skew casual—think Blundstone or Sorel—but Nordstrom Rack has a particularly handsome and highly versatile pair from esteemed footwear brand Allen Edmonds on sale for just $200, a steal for boots of this quality.
The Allen Edmonds Driggs Chelsea Boot is 59% off at Nordstrom Rack right now, down from its normal $495 price tag. That’s a big discount, which unfortunately means several sizes are on their way to being sold out, at least in brown. Those looking for their size in brown might try Amazon, which has a few more sizes in stock, albeit for $80 more, or another pair from Allen Edmonds that’s also heavily discounted at Nordstrom Rack. Our best guess for why these boots are on sale? They’re about to be discontinued, something that seems likely given their absence on Allen Edmonds’ online storefront.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Materials: Leather upper, synthetic lining, and sole
- Construction: Goodyear welt construction that makes these boots durable and resoleable, rear pull tab, elastic gussets
- Sizes available: 7-12 (plus half sizes), 13, 14
These are a classic example of the Chelsea boot style. Their upper is a single piece of high-quality leather with elastic gussets on each side (instead of laces), a pull tab on the back that makes them easy to get on, and a heel that’s not particularly short or tall.
They’re also made with Goodyear welt construction, a hallmark of mass-produced heritage footwear, making these boots easily resoleable and decidedly non-disposable, as no pair of $500 boots should be.

This discount is a good deal for two reasons. First, a $495 pair of boots for $200 is a big discount, percentage-wise. Second, a pair of boots this well-made for $200 is not something that comes around every day, so it’s not surprising that the Allen Edmonds Driggs Chelsea Boot is selling like hotcakes.
For your pick of the best remaining selection, grab a pair ASAP for the perfect finishing touch for your fall outfits.
