The traditional Chelsea Boot was adapted for The Beatles by the London footwear company Anello & Davide in 1961 when the band commissioned four pairs with the addition of pointed toes and Cuban heels, traditionally seen on the Flamenco Boot.
The boot became synonymous with The Beatles and many other rock bands of the 60’s era and during the 60’s, customers queued outside Anello & Davide’s shop waiting to get fitted for their very own Beatle boot.
Today, many celebrities and rock stars still wear this boot.
