About this item: The 2976 Chelsea boot from Dr. Martens is designed for ultimate comfort with its iconic air-cushioned sole. It is Goodyear-welted, a process where the upper and sole are sewn together using a heat-sealed z-welt stitch, ensuring durability. The boot also offers good abrasion and slip resistance.

Lined with warm faux fur, the 2976 Chelsea boot retains essential Doc DNA, such as the yellow stitching, grooved sides, and heel loop. It embodies the toughness, fit, and ease of use of its Victorian predecessors, while also delivering killer style.

This unisex boot is constructed to last using the finest methods, including a Goodyear welt and heat-sealed to the sole. Made with highly durable leather and sitting on an AirWair sole, it is oil and fat resistant with good abrasion and slip resistance. To ensure longevity and maintain the leather's quality, Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam is recommended for cleaning and protection.

Dr. Martens has a legendary history that began near Munich, Germany in 1945 when Dr. Klaus Maertens injured his foot in a skiing accident in the Bavarian Alps. To aid his recovery, he designed a shoe with an air-cushioned sole, using old rubber tires to construct soles with trapped air. He then collaborated with his friend, Dr. Herbert Funck, to develop and produce the shoes, which proved to be a hit in Germany.

In 1959, they established a company to produce and distribute the shoes, initially called Dr. Maertens, worldwide. Despite initial skepticism from manufacturers, R. Griggs Group in England decided to embrace the concept and created the first work boot with the revolutionary sole in 1960, named 1460. The brand name was changed to Dr. Martens for better recognition in England, and the range was branded AirWair, leading to the iconic status the brand holds today.
