I'm a self-confessed footwear fanatic—nothing makes me happier than unboxing a fresh pair. I don't discriminate, either. Everything from fancy party heels to the most sensible of stompy boots is welcome in my wardrobe. In fact, the latter is becoming an increasingly important category in my footwear repertoire, and no one does it better than Dr. Martens. The brand is never far from the hearts and minds of the style conscious as its heritage styles are nothing short of iconic, and with both fresh iterations and old favourites coming to the fore, the brand has been enjoying something of an ongoing renaissance over the past few years. The collective desire for comfortable, long-lasting, easy pieces to throw on every day of the week—shoes included—puts it ahead of the competition.
Thanks to their enduring appeal, Dr. Martens are a great option to add to your own Christmas wish list or to consider as a present for someone else. As a classic item that will last a lifetime and suit many a personal taste, they are a solid option. Between classic lace-ups, shearling-lined Chelsea boots and influencer-loved chunky-soled Mary Janes and loafers, any pair will make the perfect gift. Keep scrolling to see the Dr. Martens styles that have a fashion editor's seal of approval.
