Dr Martens have been with us for over 50 years now, and they are so strong and hard-wearing there are probably a few original pairs still in use. They are as popular as ever and are still finding new fans.
Dr Martens was the boot of choice for many rebels from the 1960s onwards, but the hardcore use for the brand at least in the early days was as work boots. Nowadays you get far more choice and choose from flip flops, sandals or any other kind of footwear you can imagine.
If you need practical footwear for the winter Dr Martens should be top of your list. Boots are the best option and both the 8 and 14 eyelet models are sturdy enough to deal with being worn all winter.

They are hand crafted using original Dr Marten manufacturing techniques. Even some of this seasons slip on shoes are a practical choice for winter as well. Some of the shoes from this year’s collection are even wool lined.
