Dr Martens - More Than Just the Boot

All the best people wear Dr. Martens footwear, it’s the footwear of choice for people with confidence who want the world to see them and to check them out. The big, chunky boots that are instantly recognisable as the iconic Dr. Martens brand come in a massive variety of styles, heights, colours and shapes and there are many different collections and ranges that Dr. Martens do, they are not just the makers of those classic 1460 boots and shoes that most people know them for.

Though the 1460’s have helped to make the brand into the iconic giant that it is today, thanks also to the many celebs who choose to wear them, starting with The Who’s Pete Townsend in the 60’s and including along the way models like Agyness Dayn, gorgeous actors like Robert Pattinson and Jessica Alba, singers like Avril Lavigne and even fairly recently young fashionista Lourdes Leon who knows a thing or two about style since she is one half of the Material Girl clothing label.

There are many more ranges available from Dr. Martens though, they have recently launched their new Spring and Summer 2011 collection which includes some fabulous designs which are the result of a second collaboration between Dr. Martens and the Sanrio brand, a Japanese label. The designs (available on the Shoreditch boot and the Carnaby Mary Jane shoes) feature well known characters such as Hello Kitty and others like Little Twin Stars, Patty & Jimmy and My Melody. These brightly patterned shoes and boots are cool and funky and a breath of fresh air for the Spring, perfect for teaming with a cute dress and leggings or with some super skinny jeans.

Doc Martens have many collections (including Originals, Vintage, For Life, Industrial, Heels, Floral, Refined, Chambray and Made in Colour) and each of these is packed full of exciting styles, colours, patterns and details that keep Dr. Martens up there with the best of the rest in the footwear industry. These ranges are why we can never quite stop buying Dr. Martens boots and shoes and once you’ve discovered them you keep on going back. Because the footwear gives you a feel-good factor that few can match, the styles are so recognisable you can spot them from a mile off and they just look great with everything you care to wear them with. Chunky DM’s with a cute little dress or short skirt, you can’t beat it. Chunky DM’s with some skinny jeans, worn loose and unlaced, you just can’t beat it.
