No season is more identified by its totems as much as fall is. Leaf peeping, apple cider, pumpkin spice, hayrides — all are rituals instantly identified with the season. And whether you buy into all that or not, everyone should be able to agree that fall is best spent largely, if not entirely, in Chelsea boots. Their roots might be in Victorian England, with pit stops in Tasmania and mid-century London, but they’ve become one of those totems of the fall, so whoever at Nordstrom Rack cut the price of a pair of AllSaints’ beautiful Chelsea boots in half during the month of October was doing those unprepared for the fall footwear season a solid.
The AllSaints Hemsley Suede Chelsea Boot is on sale for $150 at Nordstrom Rack, 49% off its normal $299 price tag. This deal is good on both the Stone Grey and Tobacco Brown colorways, which come in whole sizes 7 through 13. You can also pick up a pair of the same boots made with black leather in whole sizes 8 through 13 if that’s more of the vibe you’re looking for.
Regardless of your material or color preferences, you’re getting a classic Chelsea boot: contrasting elastic gores, rear pull tab, and a sturdy rubber sole with a low block heel, all in a dark, natural palette. The toe is a bit more pointed and the toe box a bit more narrow on these boots than more rugged options like those from Blundstone. This streamlining, which is helped along by the large piece of suede that runs from toe to halfway across the gore, gives this boot a more contemporary look and feel that nicely reflects the more urban, modern sensibility of the brand, which is probably better known for its downtown-ready leather jackets than anything else.

One shopper wrote that these are “great boots” because they’re “very comfortable, stylish, and well made.” They added that they “fit nicely and are perfect for dressing up or casual wear.” Along with the comfort factor, this versatility is part of what makes Chelsea boots so great and so ubiquitous during the autumn months.
