Hardwearing and rugged, this Chelsea boot has a natural texture that develops over time. Created from Grizzly leather, it's built to rewear this winter. And every winter. This season, we've fused it with rugged Warm Wair faux fur to turn up the comfort. Each pair has elasticated side panels and is welted on a BEN outsole with a deeper tread. Finished with yellow welt stitching and an Air Wair heel loop to ensure it's recognisably rebellious. The 2976 boot is our rugged take on the classic Chelsea boot. Manufactured since the 70s. Grizzly is a heavyweight leather with a subtle grained finish that ages and develops with time. Care with Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam. Developed in the 80s. The BEN sole has deeper cleats and a rugged undersole tread pattern. Warm, hardwearing and winter-proof: Warm Wair is soft, insulated lining crafted from carefully selected materials. Our Goodyear-welted lines are heat-sealed and reinforced with our signature welt stitch.
