It’s safe to say we all know and love the iconic Dr. Martens boots. Whether you opt for a classic black boot with laces or make a statement with a bold, colourful pair, the iconic brand has stood the test of time. In addition to the classic DM boot, theres also an abundance of brilliant Dr. Martens dupes out there that can give you that iconic style for less.

　　As we plan our autumn/winter wardrobe (pass me the chunky knits ASAP), Dr. Martens will definitely be part of our vision board. Whether paired with a cute skirt and tights or providing a cool touch to a classic jeans-and-a-nice-top combo, the versatile boot is the ideal addition to any outfit.

If you’re looking for a staple everyday boot, the 1460 Smooth Leather Lace Up Boots, £170, might be up your street. The classic style was the original Dr. Martens boot, so it’s no surprise that it is one of the brands most popular styles. The cool boot comes in various colour options in addition to classic black, including cherry red, green, and white.

　　How do I break Dr. Martens boots in? While the Dr. Martens dupes we’ve found might be easier to wear, there are plenty of ways to break in a classic DM boot if you want to opt for the original instead. The boots are often known for taking a little while to break in, but when it comes to speeding up the process, there are plenty of fab tips from the brand itself to help maximise the comfort of your new boots.

　　You might find choosing the right pair of socks helpful to prevent friction and rubbing on your heels and ankles. You can even bag a pair of Double Doc Organic Cotton Blend Socks, £12, specifically designed to be teamed with the brand’s boots and shoes.

　　Dr. Martens also recommends massaging the leather on your boots to help it soften and giving yourself breaks from wearing your shoes to make it easier to get used to them. You can also try Dr. Martens’ Wonder Balsam Shoe Protector, £8, which can help keep the leather on your boots soft - an ideal choice for keeping them in good condition, too.

　　For many people, the top of the heel is where they feel the most discomfort when breaking in a fresh new pair of Docs. Luckily, you can also purchase a pair of Heel Grips, £3, with some reviewers crediting the product for helping to avoid blisters and rubbing. Sign us up.

　　How can I style Dr. Martens boots? Dr. Martens boots (and their dupes) are super versatile, meaning they are an ideal choice for a staple autumn/winter boot. If you want to dress them up, Docs pair nicely with a dress or skirt if you want a comfier shoe for a fancy occasion. For everyday wear, the boots are a great addition to any outfit, whether you want to pair them with straight leg jeans, black leggings, skirts, or dresses - you can’t go wrong.
