It was in the 70s that we created our square-toe last — retuning the distinctive round silhouette that has become the DM's signature. These new 2796 Chelsea boots take inspiration from those original archive designs, but are set on a new narrower, sleeker square last to sharpen up this classic silhouette. Welted on an extra rugged 1.5" / 3.87CM / 3.81CM Bex sole, they're otherwise the same Chelsea boots we've been turning out for decades: built from tough Smooth leather punched with our iconic yellow welt stitching and tagged with a scripted AirWair heel loop.

• 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. Clean with a damp cloth and care with Dr. Martens Shoe Polish
• Elevated edge you can wear every day. The Bex sole is 1.5" / 3.87CM / 3.81CM with a rugged commando tread pattern — for traction and a chunky profile without too much height. Designed to test your limits.
