The 2976 was the first Chelsea boot we ever produced, way back the early 70s. This minimalist edition comes in all-over black mono without compromising on Docs DNA: welt stitching, grooved edges and an AirWair heel loop. Crafted from tough-as-nails Smooth leather, the black boots are welted on our signature air-cushioned sole. Just as they have been for generations.
- The rugged Docs take on the classic Chelsea boot. Manufactured since the 70s
- Polished Smooth is the original Dr. Martens leather: super durable, with a smooth finish polished to a high shine. Clean with a damp cloth and care with Dr. Martens Shoe Polish
- Our Goodyear-welted lines are heat-sealed at 700°C and reinforced with our signature welt stitch
- Built with core Dr. Martens DNA: grooved edges, an AirWair heel loop and visible welt stitching
Material
Durable and famously stiff to start, our Smooth Leather can be polished to a dapper shine or artfully scuffed-up depending on your preference.
Care Instructions
Wipe away dirt using a damp cloth. Apply Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam to the outside of your footwear to keep the leather supple, strong and smooth. Once dry, buff vigorously to desired shine using a clean Dr. Martens Shoe Brush. Repeat regularly to prolong the life of your footwear.
