A rugged take on the classic Chelsea boot!
The 2976 Chelsea Boot in Dark Brown Crazy Horse by Dr. Martens is a distinctive take on the classic Chelsea boot, combining a clean silhouette with the tough character of Crazy Horse leather. Designed for easy on-and-off wear, the boot features elasticated ankle gussets for a secure, flexible fit.
Made from Crazy Horse leather, a heavyweight leather treated with natural oils, the 2976 has a naturally distressed appearance that develops further character with wear. The leather is designed to break in over time, while the Goodyear-welted construction provides a durable finish.
The dark brown colourway works easily with denim, chinos, trousers and dresses, making the 2976 a versatile option for everyday wear.
Crazy Horse leather is finished with natural oils and will develop a unique patina with wear. Use Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam regularly to hydrate and condition the leather and assist with the breaking-in process.
Apply a small amount evenly to clean leather and allow it to absorb naturally. Avoid soaking the boots and allow them to dry naturally if they become wet. Do not place directly near heaters or other sources of heat.
Do the 2976 Chelsea boots run large?
The 2976 is described as having a wider fit. If you have a narrow foot, consider sizing down. If you are between sizes, a heel grip can help provide a more secure fit.
