If you’ve followed footwear fashion this fall, you know there are a few “it shoes” out there right now. Boston Birkenstock sold out, leather clogs reappear. But if you’ve ever set your sights on the ground, you’ve seen quite a few special forces. That’s because there’s another pair of shoes that’s garnering attention. Doc Martens.
Doc Martens is nothing new. Popular during the grunge era of the 1990s, it hit stores in 1945. It is the result of a collaboration between Munich military officer Klaus Matens and mechanical engineer Herbert Funk. Today, celebrities are proving that these shoes go with anything from sparkly dresses to all-black ensembles.
Prioritizing both comfort and style, Helena Christensen and Amber Valletta recently attended the Vogue World show in a metal dress and walking boots. Halsey went the more traditional route, and she donned black slacks and a long-sleeved cropped T while walking around Paris. And Olivia Rodrigo stepped up for Hot Topic in a black t-shirt, plaid micro mini, and Doc Martens: her very own Doc Martens and her lifelike Doc. Here’s how to find Martens.
