If you don’t own a pair of Chelsea boots, consider this your sign to invest: Amazon has a must-see deal on one of the best styles we’ve tested.
The all-weather black boot never disappoints and, more importantly, will never go out of style. Most good quality winter boots will cost you a pretty penny, but the PEOPLE Tested Athlefit Platform Chelsea Boots are an affordable pick with stellar feedback from our testers — and they’re even cheaper right now. Four of the five color options are 42 percent off right now, bringing the price tag to just $40 (the white option is also on sale at 38 percent off).

Design-wise, they’re durable thanks to a water-resistant faux leather material, plus they’re a breeze to slip on and off with the snug elastic side panels and back pull tabs. Inside, they’re complete with a soft, stretchy sock lining that will keep your feet dry and warm, no matter the weather. “They even held up on rainy days (no wet feet) and kept my feet warm in 30-degree weather while outside all day,” a buyer pleasantly noted.
Most importantly, they require zero breaking-in, and customers can’t say enough good things about their extreme comfort. “I walked comfortably for miles in these right out of the box,” notes one customer. Another decided to “take the risk and get these” for a trip to Europe with a lot of walking on the itinerary. “These lasted perfectly after 2 weeks of walking daily in multiple countries in Europe, and they did not cause blisters or pain,” explained the buyer.
Plus, the trendy 2.3-inch chunky heel adds a little height boost without sacrificing comfort. “I am a teacher and on my feet all day… and wore [them] for about 10 hours today, and my feet feel great!” notes another customer. And when it comes to styling them, they’re so versatile – you can truly do no wrong. Pair yours with jeans and sweaters for an effortless everyday uniform, or dress them up a bit with a pair of tights and a dress or skirt for a date night or happy hour.
They come in sizes 5.5 to 11 and (pro tip!) size up a half a size if you have a wider foot or plan on wearing thicker socks in the winter. Trust us, if you know you’re going to be in rain or snow this season, these chic $40 boots are the practical choice if you want to still look cute and put together.
