Black Dr. Martens 2976 Quad Polished Smooth platform Chelsea boots – high shine and a Goodyear welt
The Chelsea boot dates back to the Victorian era, and the first Dr. Martens Chelsea boot appeared in the 1970s. The 2976 Quad sets this classic silhouette on a chunky Quad platform that makes it taller and bolder. Polished Smooth leather is very durable and polished to a high shine. It looks good with black skinny jeans as well as a short skirt.

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.
- Polished Smooth leather is stiff at first and needs a few days of wear to soften. 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 the boots with a damp cloth, apply black wax polish and buff with a brush.
Frequently asked questions
Do 2976 Quad Chelsea boots need breaking in?
Yes. Polished Smooth leather is stiff, so wear them for shorter periods and with thicker socks for the first few days. After that the leather softens and shapes to your foot.
How high is the 2976 Quad platform?
The Quad sole adds a few centimetres of height while keeping the classic Chelsea boot silhouette.
What size 2976 Quad should I choose?
The same as in other leather shoes. A Chelsea boot has no laces, so it should hold your heel – if you are in between sizes, the brand recommends the smaller one.
Are 2976 Quad boots good for winter?
This style is unlined, so it suits autumn and dry winter days with thicker socks. The platform keeps your foot further from wet pavements.
