The first Dr. Martens Chelsea boot was produced in the early 70s, but the style dates back to the Victorian era. Our 2976 boot is a slick, easy on-and-off boot built with tumbled Ambassador leather in Cashew, giving it a worn-in look.

It's also softer and easier to get on for most than the smooth leather
