As a fashion writer and lifelong fan of Dr. Martens, I always suggest the brand to my friends and family who are looking for stylish, versatile footwear that will last them for years. Although the brand is worth every penny, it's not the cheapest option out there. You can find great alternatives on the high street at more affordable prices, like these £69 Leather Lace Up Flatform Boots from Marks and Spencer, or these £65 Black Forever Comfort Leather Chunky Chelsea Boots from Next. However, nothing beats the feeling of unboxing a pair of brand new Docs.
Luckily, there's a way to get your hands on these world-famous boots at a much more reasonable price—as well as accessories such as laces. The iconic British footwear brand has a lesser-known outlet where items are reduced to as little as £3. I've scoured the website to bring you some of the best deals, reports the Manchester Evening News. Take a look at my top highlights below, including both men's and women's shoes.
