Product Description

The 2976 Chelsea boot has all the toughness, fit and ease of use as its Victorian predecessors plus killer style. It serves up all the signature Doc's details like iconic stitching, grooved sides and heel-loops. Built to last, this unisex boot is forged using one of the finest methods of construction: utilizing a Goodyear welt and heat-sealing it to the sole. The 2976 is made with highly durable leather and sits on an AirWair sole, which is oil and fat resistant with good abrasion and slip resistance. Use Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam to protect the leather and keep your boots clean, soft and supple.

Dr. Martens is the stuff of legends. It all began near Munich, Germany in 1945 when Dr. Klaus Maertens injured his foot in a skiing accident in the Bavarian Alps. To make walking easier during the healing process, he designed a shoe with an air-cushioned sole. Using old rubber tires, he constructed soles that had air trapped within closed compartments. He showed his prototype to his engineer/inventor friend, Dr. Herbert Funck, and together they decided to develop and produce the shoes. Not only did the shoe solve the doctor's immediate problem, but it also started to sell well in Germany. By 1959 the two decided that they needed a company to produce and distribute the shoes, then called Dr. Maertens, in other parts of the world. At first, many manufacturers rejected the concept of an air cushioned sole as a short-lived gimmick. However, the R. Griggs Group, located in the village of Wollaston in England, decided to go along with the idea by creating the first work boot with the revolutionary sole. On the first of April 1960, the first cherry red eight-eyelet work boot was produced and named 1460. To sell the brand name better in England, the name was anglicized to Dr. Martens. The range was branded AirWair and the rest is history.

Love these but STRUGGLED with sizing
My 90s self would be so proud of this purchase, as a Gen X I think we get to claim Dr Martens as cultural heritage.I love the look of this boot. I love the fur lining, they are comfortable to wear, and they can be styled with different outfits. I’m really thrilled with this purchase!But I STRUGGLED with the sizing of these shoes. I’m a 7.5 and I generally prefer a tight fit for my shoes, I hate feeling like my foot is floating around in a shoe. But I also need the shoe to be comfortable. So I really struggled with what size to get. Dr Marten’s website recommends ordering a size down.i measure my foot. At anround 9.6 in I should have been good with a 7. And there is a lot of information on the web about how to break in Dr Martens and since they are leather, they are supposed to loosen up over time. I read Amazon reviews about other’s experiences. Most 7.5 people ordered the 8. My husband just bought himself a new pair of cowboy boots and exchanged them for a smaller size because leather stretches. And he broke his boots in and advised me to go smaller. So I ordered the 7. I followed the recommendations about breaking them in. Plus there’s faux fur lining and I figured the fur would flatten out with use. I basically wore them in the house for a little bit at a time and put a small water bottle in the shoe at night to help stretch out the toe box and the dorsal foot piece. There is no insert in this version of Dr Martens with the fur lining, so disregard that. Some people said taking the insert out helped break them in but it must’ve been referencing a different style of shoe. After a couple of days my right foot was still tingling and sightly squished, so I panicked and decided I’d ordered the wrong size after all, and ordered the 8. I put the 8 on and my toes were immediately happier but I have pretty thin ankles and my ankle were now swimming around in the boot. The length was a little too big. My foot was moving a little bit. The socks were falling a bit and the ankle boot was rubbing my skin. They just looked bigger clunkier and oversized. Not as cute as the 7s. I figured if the leather broke in and the fur flattened out they’d be even bigger. I went back and forth multiple times on which size to keep. I finally decided on the 7. I dug in to the breaking in process and a few days in I’ve noticed an improved already. I’ve been in them all day today and I’m fine. It was a process. Buying shoes on the internet is not easy. Hopefully some of this info is helpful to someone though!Buy them, wear them, love them, and be your bada$$ self 😝.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just buy them!!!
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2021
This is legitimately the best footwear purchase I've made in a long time. I've had these carted forever and on a whim one night finally ordered them. I'm so mad I didn't buy these sooner. They have all the appeal and timelessness of a typical Chelsea boot, but with some classic Dr Marten style. And the furry lining is such a bonus for both comfort/warmth and style. It makes these boots stand out a bit. These fit as expected. I absolutely always wear a 10 and the 10 fit perfectly. A bigger size would have been a mistake. I've worn these with both thin and thick socks and the fit feels great either way. They were also totally comfortable out the box which is amazing. I did wear them the first few times with thicker socks like bombas, so I'm sure that helped there to be no rubbing while I broke them in. While the fur keeps my feet toasty warm on cold days, I also wore these on a 65° day and I was not too hot. I know the price tag hurts a bit, trust me, but this is a quality boot that will last years. That sole is indestructible and the style is classic. Truly, I can't say enough about these. I have worn them every single day since I got them!

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2024
I’m usually a size 8. Sometimes a 7.5. The 8 is a perfect fit, even for my borderline wide feet. The boots are comfy and more sleek than expected. Would like more arch support but otherwise comfortable. I anticipate getting lots of wear out of these.
