A classic Dr Martens boot design has been given a “unique” revamp just in time for winter – as a fur-lined edition have been released to keep your feet warm as temperatures drop.
The Church Nubuck Leather Ankle Boots, from Dr Martens, are inspired by one of the most distinctive silhouettes in the brand’s archive, dating back to the footwear label’s original, iconic design, first manufactured in the 1960s.
But now, the instantly-recognisable leather boots have been lined with a warm, soft Borg fleece lining to keep out the cold, and finished with a chunky PVC sole with commando tread, giving extra traction if the weather turns icy.
The five-eye boot has retained the signature DM markings of yellow welt stitching, and of course the black and yellow heel loop.
It comes in two versatile colourways – black and grey – and is available in sizes 6-13, including half-sizes 6.5 and 9.5. Best of all, you can get your hands on a pair of the boots now for 40% off – down from £190 to just £114, saving you a whopping £76.
The ankle boots are a perfect length to pair with jeans, and can easily be wiped clean using a damp cloth, keeping them looking good as new.
They have received an impressive 4.6-star rating out of five stars. One happy customer wrote: “Another fabulous addition to my Docs collection. Colour and texture are perfect. A little bit tighter than your usual doc, and I went a half-size up! Not for the broad footed.”
Another added: “Gorgeous colours and textures. The quality is outstanding. Fur-lined for winter. Unusual head-turner.”. A third commented: “I love these boots, really stylish and comfortable and fur lining adds extra layers of warmth.”
And another buyer wrote: “Really nice boot, very comfortable. I did size up because I like thicker socks in a boot. They look very smart with jeans. The texture is very nice, took no wearing in, no problems.”
However, the Doc Martens were not a comfy fit on everyone, as one shopper wrote: “Wanted to love them, but… They look super cool but are virtually unwearable, heavy, so stiff, with a seriously hard “construction” lump right at the back of the heel where the AirWair tab has been sewn on (on one boot!). eBay here they come.”
If you’re looking for an alternative option for fur-lined boots this winter, you could also try Debenhams, which currently has these EverAu Australia Sittella Fashion Chunky Boots on sale at a huge 66% off, down from £185 to just £65.
The suede boots come in three colourways – black, brown and grey – and customers have said they have helped to keep feet warm even in sub-zero temperatures.
Elsewhere, UGG have a sale on many of their footwear options, including over £100 off these Women’s Sunburst Tall Boots, now down from £260 to just £155.99, as well as £62 off these Skyview Chelsea Boots for men, down from £155 to £92.99.
