Why We Love This Deal
Chelsea boots have become somewhat of a default when searching for nice-looking footwear—you can dress them up or down, and they always look smart. One of the brands that does this best is Cole Haan. The brand has famously leaned into the concept that style can be paired with comfort, while also looking good. This is evident in its CitySpectre Chelsea boots, which are part of its OriginalGrand lineup, and now $120 off.
Cole Haan’s OriginalGrand CitySpectre Chelsea Boots are on sale for $110, a 52% discount off their full price of $230, on the brand’s website. These boots provide the comfort of a sneaker with the aesthetics of a Chelsea boot, resulting in a refined yet modern look. They come in both tan and black, though only the former is selling at this price, while the latter is $140.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Design: Modern ramp-wedge Chelsea boots
- Colors: Brown, black
- Sizes: 7 to 13
- Widths: Medium, wide
- Materials: Leather upper, rubber outsole, polyester lining
Crafted from supple leather, these boots feature a ramped wedge rubber sole and Cole Haan’s Energyfeel cushioning, engineered to deliver noticeable rebound and shock absorption that one would expect to find in running shoes from Hoka and On. These boots are lightweight, shockingly flexible, and made to be worn all day long.
If you’re not familiar with Cole Haan’s sneaker soles, the OriginalGrand (these boots) and ZeroGrand are some of its bestsellers. The OriginalGrand design is a little denser compared to the ZeroGrand’s focus on stripping out the weight, making this pair closer to a traditional boot. Think more substantial, great cushioning, and a slightly sturdier feel that feels like it can survive anything.

What Wearers Are Saying
Virtually every shopper mentioned comfort in their reviews, which speaks volumes about how well they wear. One even stated that they provide “extreme comfort,” saying that Cole Haan truly nailed it with this boot. This reviewer, having owned numerous Chelseas over the decades, confessed these were their favorite because they “wear like a leather sneaker” and are “perfect for city streets.”
“It’s like walking on air,” exclaimed another, while a third said these “sweet boots” have a “sleek” look to them.
These CitySpectre boots may have all sizes available online, but with half-off savings on an OriginalGrand boot, they won’t be around for long. You can grab them in brown or black on sale, but make sure you do it soon.
