A super-comfortable sneaker boot with a timeless Chelsea look
The LUCA Terra Chelsea Sneaker Boot closes the gap between dress boot and sneaker, allowing you to wear them with everything from lightwash jeans and a tee, to khakis and an Oxford. Each pair is handmade by artisans in our Portuguese factory, using full grain leathers sourced from Italy’s best tanneries, followed by naturally springy and supportive Lactae Hevea rubber outsoles from France. The result? A versatile boot that feels like you’re walking on the University of Oregon’s athletic track. This is a Chelsea like no other.

Lactae Hevea soles are made from natural rubber—hand-poured milk sap cured slowly rather than mass-produced. Because this organic material breathes, exposure to light or heat can occasionally create a light white haze known as "blooming.” This is a normal characteristic of natural rubber, not a defect. It wipes away easily with a damp cloth—repeat the process if it returns. To help prevent blooming, store your shoes in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
