Size and fit
- Dr. Martens makes whole sizes only. If you are usually a half size, the brand recommends sizing down – a larger size makes the boot longer, not wider.
- The faux fur takes up some room inside, so do not add a thick insole to this style. Heavy Grizzly leather stretches in width over time, not in length.
- When choosing a size you can switch the size chart from EU to US or centimetres.
Care
Wipe off dirt with a damp cloth and, once dry, apply Wonder Balsam. Remove road salt straight away, before it dries on the leather.
Frequently asked questions
Are fur-lined 2976 Grizzly boots good for winter?
Yes, this style is made for the colder months: WarmWair faux fur lines the inside and the BEN sole has a deeper tread. In hard frost, wear warmer socks with them.
Do 2976 Grizzly Chelsea boots need breaking in?
A little. Grizzly leather is heavy, so wear them for shorter periods for the first few days. Over time the leather stretches in width and shapes to your foot.
What size should I choose?
The same as in other leather shoes. If you are in between sizes, the brand recommends the smaller one – the lining compresses over time and gives more room.
Is it real leather?
Yes. The upper is made of natural Grizzly leather and the lining of faux fur.
