Customer Reviews Dr. Martens 2976 Smooth Leather Chelsea Boots

Absolutely love these. Fit is TTS and no break in period

I usually wear a 6.5 or 7 and ordered a 6.0. Putting them on the first time was difficult as they are very stiff but after a few wears the leather relaxed and now they fit really well. Otherwise, they did not need any breaking in and the shoe itself is very comfortable.

I love these boots. I have been very impressed with the look and comfort of the boots. I generally wear a women's US 10.5 or 11, but size 10 in these boots seems to fit well (with plenty of room for thick socks). The boots needed a few days to break in, as the top of the shaft rubbed my shins. I highly recommend wearing thick hiking socks (or, two thinner socks) for the first several times wearing the boots.

Love these boots!

great boots they are stiff like most dr martens but soften with time and wonder balm fast delivery good packing. Zappos is the best

Birthday present for my 18 year old; exactly what she wanted, and she is thrilled with the look. Not super comfortable yet (stiff around the ankles especially), but she knew going in that there would be some break-in time required.

Had to return for a full size smaller. I normally wear a 7 in other shoes and another similar dr. Marten boot. The 6s will be perfect once I break them in :)

I wear a UK5 US7 womens in Docs. I left the fit true to sz, and width because the other selections did not match. To me its a (2976 run) little snug than 1460s that I normally wear. This is my second pair of 2976. I am keeping because I'm sure they will stretch with wear and the snugness did not create any discomfort. Beautiful color.

Love these boots fit great, you can't go wrong with docs.

Fit nicely.

Great boots. Well made from and beautiful color. The letter is thick and pliable.

Stylish, great comfort, look good in business attire as well as casual

I initially ordered a size 7 thinking in most shoes I’m either an 8.5 or 9 in US women’s. Once they arrived it was clear before even trying them on they were way too big. I called Zappos immediately and had the most pleasant interaction with their customer service. I was explained the exchange process entirely and I had my size 6 boots in 24 hours. They fit like a glove and I’m never taking them off. Cheers!

My fourth pair of DM's, drives me bananas that Doc Martens only has whole sizes. I am almost always a 9 ½, so I got a 10 and they fit well because the elastic side bands are a little snug. I’ll probably have to add an insole once they are more broken in. They’re comfortable the sole is great, they’re easy to wear new right out of the box and the leather is soft enough so they're easy to break in, and look great. I hope I wear these forever, they will look great once they’re really broken in. Love not having to lace them up, the tab makes them easy to pull on and kick off. I just wish these had the usual yellow stitching, so I’m sitting here with a paint marker and painting them in.

These are beautiful and very stiff - I couldn't imagine dealing with them hitting the front of my shins while breaking them in and ended up sending them back. I did end up with Dr. Martens Pascal 8-Eye Boot - super soft leather!!

Classic

I have own these boots for about 2 years now. The quality is fantastic! They keep my feet warm and dry in the winter and stylish in the summer. The red docs really stand out!

Nice quality

Perfect style for dress or casual. The elastic gore caresses the feet which is wonderful. Unfortunately, almost all Doc Martin shoes are only available in medium widths, resulting in having to order one half size larger for wide feet. Ah well, this is still a great shoe, and nicely understated without the contrast stitching around the sole. The color is noticeable without being flashy. I love these shoes!

Super comfy and easy break in period, not as dressy as the Flora, but fun for casual wear and shows.

So glad they finally made this in leather with the classic yellow stitching.

Very comfortable and look great! I’m happy with my purchase.

Comfortable and stylish. I’m very happy with this purchase. I’m an 11.5 so I ordered a 12 and they fit perfectly.

Amazing boot! True to size. Stiff at first but breaks in nicely and quickly.

They look great, are breaking in well after only a couple of short wears, and go well with both jeans and business casual. Only downside I've noticed, so far, is that they get crazy hot inside. Taking off one star for comfort, but only because of the temperature! Also, by the way, I normally wear a size 13 US, and that is the size that fits best for me with these. I ordered both a 12 US and a 13 US, based on the comments that these run large. Must not run large once you get above a certain size, because the 12s were very restrictive and the 13s are just right.
