Why We Love This Deal
Blundstone boots might be the most popular Chelsea boots of the last few years, but there are many other options out there not made by the Aussie brand that are worth considering. One you wouldn’t expect comes from the Portland-based Sorel: It’s waterproof, and it’s $70 off at Nordstrom Rack.
The Sorel Slabtown 62 Waterproof Chelsea Boots are just $100 at Nordstrom Rack right now, a 41% discount from their normal $170 price tag and $2 less than they’re going for on the Sorel website, where few sizes are even available.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Materials: Leather upper and lining, rubber sole, molded EVA insole
- Sizes available: 8-12 (every half size), 13, 14
- Heel height: 1 inch
- Shaft height: 5.5 inches
These boots don the classic Chelsea boot silhouette with pull tabs on the front and back of the shaft, and the soles are thick rubber for superior protection and traction.
Inside the waterproof leather upper (with gore insets for a snug fit), you’ll find a leather lining and a molded EVA insole for comfort. The result is something of a perfect rainboot that doesn’t look or feel super chunky but is still built tough enough to shield your feet from weather, rough terrain, and anything else your feet might have to walk into.
If every person you know has a pair of those other boots, the Sorel Slabtown 62 Waterproof Chelsea Boots makes a compelling argument for something different. They can handle spring rain, fall temperatures, and even some wintry slush, and their all-black aesthetic is just as versatile. After selling out elsewhere on the internet, we’d expect these to go quickly, so don’t delay.
