I recall my very first Dr. Martens were a pair of steel toe shoes, which I wore back in my industrial days. Then I moved on to their signature leather boots when everyone was listening to Nirvana.
Originally conceived as hardwearing and comfortable footwear, Dr. Martens have been worn by everyone, from policemen, to punks, to postmen. This classic 10-hole boot would be perfectly suited to each, and combines clean styling with the bold and functional heritage of Dr. Martens.
Combining a classic 10-hole style with the functional heritage of Dr Martens, the boots exposed and polished steel toe-cap takes pride of place. Built on the legendary air-cushioned sole, with a wooden shank for improved mid-foot rigidity, the boot is Goodyear welted to the smooth leather uppers. The style features tonal eyelets, tripled-stitched seams, and it is finished with a branded heel-pull. Pick up your pair at oki-ni.com but please don’t kick any guy in the nuts. We don’t want you going to jail since these boots can be consider a weapon.
