Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 2976 Chelsea Boot

How great is the Antique Temperley color of these boots? So great. Here's what I wrote about the black ones: [Oh, Doc Martens and the half-size challenge... These are such handsome boots, but I can't wear a picture. When they fit okay, they are too big, they look borrowed. When they look nice, they are exactly 1/3 of a size too small. Sad, me.] All true, even in the Temperley. Maybe they are too narrow.

Generally a women's 8 or a EU38 - these boots say they are a women's 8, but they say that they are a EU39 which is a full size larger and they felt it. I'll be returning these- unfortunately the women's 7 is sold out. These felt great and I could see them being my daily boot - hopefully there will be a restock soon!

Just a heads up -- if you have super high arches like me, you're going to need to be patient getting your foot into the boot... Not ergonomically designed for people with high arches to put on, but very comfortable if you're persistent and can get your foot in... I expect the boots to give a bit with wear -- and get easier to put on... Taking them off is a cinch...

Love the style, and they are wide enough for my feet (I have flat feet, so width is very important). However, I suggest maybe sizing down if you are in between sizes, because they do run a little big (but they would probably be perfect if you decide to wear thick socks with them always).

I love these boots. They come with a thin insole that I removed to insert my favorite type of insole that offers arch and heel support. I've had them a little over a week now and have worn them all day, every day, and they were just a wee bit tight around the forefoot at first, but have loosened up now for a perfect fit. The classic Dr. Martens sole is super for people who spend a lot of time on their feet. I'd say "two thumbs up" for these boots.

So difficult to get on! Ankle/style so tight and extremely difficult to get on; even more so to get off. Once I get foot in the fit is great. Maybe after breaking in they’ll fit better. Unfortunately very likely returning. I love these and have been a fan and have worn Docs 30 years but never have I had this issue with fit. Going to be so disappointed if need to return because I love this Chelsea style so much!

I have high arches and can't get my ankle through these to put them on. In previous years I wore this exact boot in size 8 - now I can't get a size 9 around my ankle, even though the foot bed is too long. Has the design changed?

I loved the style and the color but they were just too wide for my feet. I ended up returning them and getting a pair of Sorrels which were a much better fit for me.

This is a well made boot, the brown leather is beautiful, however .... in a size 11 it looks like a heavy clunky clown shoe. I wanted to love it, but have to return it.

Darling boots. Ordered the suggested size but it was at least a full size too large.

I forget how Doc’s seem to always run big. I’m usually a 9. I’ll need to order an 8 (UK 7) when they’re back in stock.

Ordered a W 9, but it's actually a 41, and a men's 8. That is a women's 10. So it's sized wrong for women, a full size too big. I was surprised to put on such a huge boot and then realized the sizing error. Style-wise, the boot is kind of bulbous, and it tapers down to the width of your ankle due to the elastic. My ankle is pretty skinny, so they looked awkward on me. I'm not sure how much this would be solved by having the right size, but it seems like they are designed for a man, a larger framed woman, and/or a wide footed person. Since they were the wrong size, I couldn't judge the comfort. Overall they are well made boots that need to be sized correctly, and they don't seem to crossover well to a woman's shoe.

I have an older version of these boots seven years ago. They are perfect and perfectly broken in but sadly the sole has fallen apart and can’t be repaired. Tried to replace them with this pair in the same size but the size UK6 was so tight across my instep that my feet went numb after a few hours of wearing them. Length was perfect. I was so bummed. Had to send them back.

These run HUGE! I wear a women's 11, but had to exchange for a 10. The black/tan carpathian leather is very soft, but the navy leather is very stiff and uncomfortable. It was almost impossible to get in my foot. The gaucho leather is soft, but seemed bigger than the ones made out of other materials.

I wanted to like these boots. I was looking forward to wearing this pair and buying a static dissipating version of them for work. These are a real mofo (!) to get on, and with Docs I'm even a half size up, so go figure. Couldn't feature struggling so very much to get these on at leisure, let alone an SD pair for work at 4:30 a.m. Hard to say what's up with Doc Marten's but Zappo's customer service was top notch, both sending and returning. The return and credit happened without a hitch. Thanks guys, you're still the one.

Loved the boot, but it runs a size small. Wish they had a bigger size.

The problem is that the sole is coming off the boots and I've had these just over a year. The first pair of docs I had lasted me over 10 years. I would probably still have them if my puppy had not eaten the left shoe. Positive note, they are super comfortable. Went to Paris and walked around the city with no issues.

This lasted about 2 months before my feet were in agony in them. No cushion at all

The size was too narrow. A few months ago I purchased a pair of Dr. Martens in a similar style at a local department store. Love the look and the fit. But their selection is limited so I ordered this pair from Zappos. Same size as I bought a the store, but these were too narro and I could not fit my foot into them. sending them back.

I couldn’t get my foot down into the boot. Other than that I liked it.

The sole fell off the shoe after a few Months. DR Martens are not made the way they used to be.

These boots LOOK amazing but on one of the shoes there is a HORRIBLE stitching that goes RIGHT UNDER my toes and makes them VERY uncomfortable. I even tried a second pair and they had the same thing. Very bad quality.
