# Worn-In Men's Boots Red Wing Heritage Created the Weekender Chelsea Boots with a Worn-Down Look By Madison Mackay | Published 2018-02-28 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weekender-chelsea-boot References: [gearpatrol](https://gearpatrol.com/2018/02/26/red-wing-heritage-weekender-chelsea-boot/) & [redwingheritage](http://www.redwingheritage.com/us/USD/product/mens-footwear/6-inch-boots/weekender-chelsea-olive-03312) Popular shoe company Red Wing Heritage created the Weekender Chelsea Boots, a new pair of worn-down boots for men that were designed to fit perfectly on the first wear. These new boots are lightweight and flexible, with a combination of a Hill sole and a premium Olive Mohave roughout leather to make them as durable as possible. By using a Comfortforce foot bed, side goring and a stitchdown construction, the brand worked to make these boots easy to pull on and off. Available in two colors: black and tan, the Weekender Chelsea Boots were designed to form perfectly to any foot, making the requirement for wearing or breaking in the shoes obsolete.
