103 Year-Old Boot Style You NEED To Consider (Better Than Chelsea & Chukkas!)

About this video

Centeno explores the history, design features, and styling versatility of Jodhpur boots, which originated in 1920s India as equestrian footwear and have become a stylish alternative to Chelsea boots. He discusses the distinctive wraparound ankle strap, construction details, and demonstrates how to wear them both dressed up with suits and dressed down with casual wear, while also noting maintenance requirements and practical drawbacks.

Key takeaways

• Centeno argues Jodhpur boots offer more style and dressing-up potential than Chelsea boots due to their cleaner design, higher ankle support, and wraparound strap that resembles dress shoe construction
• Centeno recommends starting with black or dark brown Jodhpurs, pairing them with calf-length socks, and styling them with both formal wear (suits and overcoats) and casual outfits (jeans and t-shirts)
• Centeno emphasizes that Jodhpur boots require regular conditioning, polishing, and shoe trees to prevent the leather strap from cracking and to maintain their appearance, though they are less convenient than slip-on Chelsea boots
