In recent years, we’ve noticed many retailers kicking off their ‘Boxing Day’ sales earlier than ever. One such brand, renowned for its iconic footwear, has launched its discounted range, offering up to 40% off.
The Dr Martens sale was initially launched only for those subscribed to the brand’s newsletter for ‘early access’, but is now available to all. This pre-Christmas treat includes a wide variety of styles, from the classic 1460 boots and loafers to accessories like bags and even insoles, all massively reduced.
The Dr Martens sale runs until January 27 at 5pm, giving you plenty of time to browse. However, we anticipate that many styles will sell out quickly, so it’s best to be proactive and secure your favourite design before it’s gone.

For instance, you can snag a pair of the 1460 Pascal Fleece Lined Leather Boots – perfect for the colder weather – for £133, down from £190, saving you a hefty £57. These shoes, available in a gorgeous chocolate brown or black, are still in stock in sizes 3 – 13 and feature a welted slip-resistant WinterGrip outsole.
Naturally, they’re finished with the iconic yellow stitching and branded heel tab, but these 1460 style boots also boast a fleece lining for added warmth. The shoes are water-resistant and feature an oiled finish that adds a touch of character.
Customers who have bagged these beauties claim they require no breaking in period, dubbing them as ‘the best [I’ve] ever had’. Fancy a fur-lined boot for extra snugness?
The 1460 Serenas are currently discounted by 30%, now priced at £126 instead of £180. Sporting a tan finish, these popular 8-eye boots are lined with WarmWair faux fur in a contrasting cream. There’s also a Chelsea boot version available for £126 here, exuding equal elegance.
Alternatively, if you’re not fussed about the lining, grab these 1460 Vonda Mono boots, reduced from £180 to £126, which maintain the same 8-eye lacing, mustard yellow stitching and 1460 style, but the shoes are adorned with a beautiful embroidered flower design that gives them a unique flair. Still available in all sizes – 3-9 – get them here.
If you’re in the market for some Oxford shoes, Dr Martens’ 1461 patent leather shoes might just be what you’re looking for. They’ve been reduced to £98 from their original price of £140.
While there are still sizes available in white, there’s a wider range of sizes in stock for the bold and shiny black patent pair. You can grab them here.
Not keen on the patent style? The 1461 Carrara Leather Oxford Shoes are available for £69 – that’s a 50% saving from its usual £139. Still in stock in sizes 6 to 13 (with only 6.5 out of stock), these shoes are made from veg tan leather and feature a traditional bouncing air sole, making them super comfortable.
They’ve received praise for being ‘durable, sturdy and beautiful to look at’, which is always a plus – although be warned, some people have noted the shoes rubbing a little, so it’s best to break them in before wearing them for extended periods.
As a massive DMs fan myself, I’ve had my eye on a pair of Jorge II mules for the entire year to add to my collection and am thrilled that a selection of colours are discounted – it’s a sign that I need to get some.
For instance, the Hair-on Slingback Mules in a bold zebra print are down to £84 from £140, while the olive and tan Nubuck Leather Slingback shades are currently £78 instead of £130. Easy, comfy and pretty cool, these mules are incredibly versatile with two adjustable straps and the ability to wear the shoes with the ankle strap placed forward (to wear like a slider) or around the ankle for stability.
Shoppers are raving about a particular shoe, with one fan gushing: “Absolutely obsessed with these. They’re comfortable straight out the box! I’m usually a 6.5 or 7 in shoes but I’m a 6 in Dr martens unisex styles. I’m a 6.5 in womens docs. I love how versatile these mules are. Currently styling them with wool socks!”
However, it’s worth noting that some found the sizing a bit generous. If you’re looking to get ahead of the summer season, the brand’s popular Blaire Tumbled Nubuck Leather Sandals are currently discounted by 30%, now priced at £77 instead of £110.
Available in muted olive, tan and black, these chunky sandals are not only flattering but also comfortable. Crafted from soft tumbled nubuck leather, they feature adjustable branded buckles and are set on a lightweight Zebrilus sole.
The brand has also slashed prices on several accessories, including its Kiev Leather Box Laptop Backpack, now £126 (down from £180). Made from durable DM-standard leather, this spacious backpack is perfect for carrying everything from your laptop to your water bottle.
Also on sale is the brand’s mini 5-inch smooth leather satchel bag, now available for £42, which certainly ‘packs a punch’.
The product description reveals: “Built from a combination of Kiev and smooth leather and featuring Dr. Martens lettering and webbing inspired by our classic AirWair heel loop, the bag is fitted with adjustable dual straps including a chain for a secure fit.”
Bargain hunters can also snatch up some colourful laces in the sale to add a pop of colour to existing boots for £1.50. Check out Dr Martens’ amazing end of year sale here.
Dr Martens isn’t the only hotspot for shoe savings; Schuh’s sale is also happening now with discounts of up to 60% off on brands like Converse, Crocs, and beyond. Debenhams is another go-to spot for deals, currently showcasing a selection of shoes on offer, reports Wales Online.
