Black Dr. Martens 2976 Lo AR Rogue Chelsea boots – lower shaft, elastic gussets, yellow stitching
The 2976 Lo is a Chelsea boot cut lower on the ankle – for anyone who likes the slip-on shape but prefers a less chunky boot. Black AR Rogue is a soft, tumbled full-grain leather with a waxed finish and a subtle pull-up effect. The typical Dr. Martens details remain: a grooved sole edge, yellow stitching and a branded heel loop. The lower shaft works well with cuffed trousers and cropped styles.

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.
- Soft, tumbled AR Rogue leather moulds to your foot quickly. It stretches in width, 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.
Frequently asked questions
How is the 2976 Lo different from the classic 2976?
It has a lower shaft that ends lower on the ankle. Everything else stays: elastic gussets, yellow stitching and a grooved sole edge.
Do 2976 Lo boots need breaking in?
Very little. AR Rogue is a soft, tumbled leather, so it shapes to your foot faster than stiff Smooth leather.
What size 2976 Lo should I choose?
The same as in other leather shoes. A boot without laces should hold your heel – if your heel clearly slips, choose the smaller size.
What do you wear low Chelsea boots with?
Cuffed and cropped trousers – the lower shaft works well with them.
