Which is better for wet weather?

Which fits more true to size?

The Lug Chelsea is listed as true to size. The Glove Boot runs about a half size small, so many owners size up.

Which is more comfortable for a full day on your feet?

Is the Lug Chelsea worth stepping up to over the Glove Boot?

Which has better grip?

The Lug Chelsea. Its chunky lug outsole is built for traction. The Glove Boot has a plain rubber outsole.

The Glove Boot. Its slim profile, square toe and 50mm heel read as a polished ankle boot. The Lug Chelsea's platform and lug sole are casual and chunky.

Everlane The Glove Boot vs Everlane The Lug Chelsea Boot

The Glove Boot is the sleeker, dressier pick: full leather inside and out, a walkable 50mm heel, memory foam padding and a back zipper.

Owners of the Glove Boot praise the look and heel height but report it runs about a half size small and can rub; the Lug Chelsea is true to size and built for varied ground. Buy the Glove Boot for a polished ankle boot you wear to work and out; buy the Lug Chelsea for grip, weather and easy on-off.

Choose the Glove Boot if you want a slim, leather-lined ankle boot with a walkable heel and a zip that slips on fast.
Choose the Lug Chelsea if you want a chunky platform boot with real grip, water-resistant leather and pull-on tabs.
