The Original DM’s Chelsea boot. The 2976 dates back to the 70s and has a long-running heritage of music and mayhem. Here the classic silhouette returns in the Dr Martens classic Smooth leather, enhanced with yellow welt stitching and a scripted AirWair heel loop. The Chelsea boots sit on a robust air-cushioned sole, as they have since the start. The 2976 is the rugged Docs take on the classic Chelsea boot. Manufactured since the 70s. Hardwearing and famously tough, our Smooth leather can be polished to shine or scuffed-up. It’s up to you. DM Goodyear-welted lines are heat-sealed at 700°C and reinforced with their signature welt stitch. Worn twice, mostly on carpet.
