Black Dr. Martens Graeme Analine Chelsea boots – tapered last, elasticated sides, Goodyear welt
The Graeme is a Chelsea boot built on a tapered last, which makes it slimmer and dressier than the 2976. Sleek black Analine leather and tonal black welt stitching give it a clean, understated look. Elasticated sides make it easy to slip on and off, and the sole has a grooved edge. Wear them with a suit or wool trousers, or with dark denim.

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.
- Chelsea boots have no laces, so they should hold your heel from the first try-on. Sleek Analine 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 the boots with a damp cloth, apply black wax polish and buff with a brush.
Frequently asked questions
How is the Graeme different from the 2976?
The Graeme is built on a tapered last, so it has a slimmer, dressier profile. Tonal black welt stitching makes it even more understated.
Can you wear Graeme boots with a suit?
Yes. The slim profile and sleek black leather look good with a suit and wool trousers, and with dark denim for everyday wear.
Do Graeme boots need breaking in?
A little. The leather stretches in width over time and shapes to your foot. For the first few days, wear them for shorter periods and with thicker socks.
What size Graeme should I choose?
The same as in other leather shoes. Dr. Martens does not make half sizes – if you are in between, the brand recommends the smaller size. A boot without laces should hold your heel.
