Men's Dr. Martens 2976 - Black Smooth The 2976 boot is the Dr. Martens spin on the traditional Chelsea boot silhouette. The pull-on style and elasticated gussets make it as convenient as it is versatile — a quick and easy way to slip on some classic DM’s attitude. The grooved, bouncing sole is marked with our signature yellow welt stitching and the boot is tagged with our black and yellow heel loop. The durable Smooth leather can be polished or scuffed — however you wear it, do it your way. DETAILS: Material Smooth - durable and famously stiff to start, this leather can be polished to a dapper shine or artfully scuffed-up depending on your preference.For tips on how to break in your Docs visit our Guide.
