“I love the 2976 Chelsea Boots but they squeak loudly with every step! I spent weeks emailing back and forth with Dr. Martens customer service and was finally able to send the defective boots back (initially purchased in a Dr. Martens retail store). They sent me a new pair, and after a couple weeks, the right boot is now squeaking. I'm so disappointed. I really like these, but the squeaking sound is driving me nuts! My husband bought the men's version of the same boot, and his are fine.”
