Are Chelsea boots with stiletto heels actually Chelsea boots?

I would say that Chelsea boots can be flat, or have Cuban, block or stiletto heels.   The 'Chelsea' aspect seems to relate to the elastic sides, although zip-sided boots are also called 'Chelsea' style.   

These (Calvin Klein) are sold as 'Chelsea boots' (and would surely look good on many men):

I really do wish women’s boots came in larger sizes - surely they are missing a trick. I understand why they might not think there was much of a market among men, but with so many taller women these days there must be quite a few who wear UK9, 10 and 11.

I agree, although all is not quite lost.   In addition to imports via Amazon etc, several UK high street or online sources offer a UK9.   And ASOS, notably, offers some of its 'female' styles (boots, shoes, sandals) in sizes up to UK11, and sometimes UK12 and 13 also.   (That said, the sizing is a little off, with the UK13 being effectively a 12 - but fine for me.)

Yes but I was thinking of the higher quality brands - real (nice) leather and quality construction. I have several pair of Jean Gaborit boots and I suppose im spoiled

I guess that's what I was thinking when I said I had Chelsea stilettos. Not so much the heel, but the elastic bit on the side. The only reason I got rid of them is because they were size 9 1/2, which is in most cases simply too big for me, even with inserts, and these were even with socks. I never could make them quite work.

Now--off the subject a bit, but I reckon we all like a good story--I tried to do right by my "Chelsea" boots and give them to one of my son's female friends, who was probably 13 or 14 at the time, tall and willowy, and wore size 9 1/2. I do not believe she'd ever even thought about trying heels in her life. Just about the time I thought I had her convinced that maybe she ought to try them under my tutelage, it happened to coincide with the time she decided she wasn't so interested in my son, and she quit hanging around our house. Which in the end was a good thing for everybody.
