I bought these about a month ago for Kizzy and have finally had chance to sit down and tell you about them. If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen a picture of these little beauts :)
Now onto the review...
The Joules Chelsea Boots have been a huge hit with Kizzy. Made in leather with elasticated side panels and pull tab on the back they are very easy for her to get on. The heel is nice and low, the sole has some grip however now masses so you'd have to be careful if it's icy out. The boots have worn in very well so far. I've found the black leather easy to look after, I simply polish them once a week. The back of the boots is a gorgeous zebra printed hair (on hide) so give them a fabulous twist to what looks like a plain boot from the front.
I couldn't be more happy with these boots. My only negative is they don't sell them in half sizes*. Kizzy would have suited a size 10.5 however I bought the size 11 to allow her room to go into them over the winter; rather than the size 10 which would have become too tight before the season was over. I have gotten around the 'boots too big' by layering up. Kizzy's been wearing these mostly with dresses and skirts. So she wears a pair of wooly tights and matching ankle socks. I have to say they look super cute with the sock frill popping up over the boots - even if I do say so myself.

These are retailing at £44.95, for a Children's Size 11. Joules price their 'Children's' sizes around £10 less than the 'Junior' sizes, which is common practice for most shoe retailers.
*Joules doesn't offer half sizes in the childrens range or adults. I discovered this recently when buying myself the adults version of these boots (the Westbourne Chelsea Boots). Sadly I was between a UK 6 and 7. For me the 7 was a normal choice however on there arrival they were over sized and extremely loose. I went back online and ordered the 6, expecting these to fit perfectly, unfortunately these were too tight. Needless to say I was gutted!
"Dear Joules,
Please could you start to offer half sizes in your Chelsea Boots. I would very much like to wear your Westbourne Boots and am extremely envious of my 5 years olds zebra print ones.
Your Sincerely
Hannah"
Cute little boots!
