How does the Spence differ from the classic 2976 Chelsea?

The Spence has a tall block heel and platform, while the 2976 is flat. The Spence also adds a side zipper for easier entry.

Is the Spence good for wide feet?

It runs on the brand's roomier last, but the leather is stiff at first. Try your usual Dr. Martens size and allow break-in time.

Most owners take their normal Dr. Martens size. If you are between sizes, size up for the platform and thicker socks.

It works for moderate wear, but the heel and platform make it heavier than a flat boot. Many owners keep it for shorter days.

Smooth leather with elastic side panels. There is no Gore-Tex version, so it is not waterproof.

Yes, the Spence comes in both men's and women's sizes, in black or brown.
