Originally invented in the Victorian era when its elastic ankle was revolutionary, this is a style that has stood the test of time — having been adopted by the Mods in the 1960s, and fashionistas ever since. This rugged and contemporary version of the iconic style is reinvented in premium textured leather and features two zippers on the sides, an evolution of the traditional elastic. Finished with a branded heel-loop and an extra one on the front Two zips, on both sides of the ankle Made with classic Doc's DNA, including grooved edges, visible stitching and heel-loop(s) Built on the iconic Dr. Martens air-cushioned sole, which is oil and fat resistant with good abrasion and slip resistance
