We've noticed that many retailers are starting their 'Boxing Day' sales earlier than ever in recent years. One such brand, famous 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 everyone. 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 example, you can get 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 style available for £126, exuding equal elegance.
What’s hot
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.
Fans have praised the shoes for being 'robust, stable, and aesthetically pleasing', which is always advantageous - however, some people have reported that the shoes can rub a little, so it is recommended to break them in before wearing them for extended periods.
As a huge DMs enthusiast, I have been eyeing a pair of Jorge II mules to add to my collection all year, and I am thrilled to see a selection of colours discounted - a sign that I should make a purchase.
For example, the Hair-on Slingback Mules in bold zebra print are reduced to £84 from £140, while the olive and tan Nubuck Leather Slingback shades are currently £78 instead of £130. These mules are incredibly versatile, with two adjustable straps and the ability to wear the shoes with the ankle strap positioned forward (like a slider) or around the ankle for stability, making them easy, comfortable, and pretty cool.
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!"
Don’t miss
However, it's worth noting that some people found the sizing to be a bit generous. If you're looking to get a head start on 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 understated olive, tan and black, these chunky sandals are not only stylish but also super comfy. Made from soft tumbled nubuck leather, they feature adjustable branded buckles and sit on a lightweight Zebrilus sole.
The brand has also cut prices on several accessories, including its Kiev Leather Box Laptop Backpack, now £126 (down from £180). Crafted from durable DM-standard leather, this roomy backpack is ideal for carrying everything from your laptop to your water bottle.
Also up for grabs in the sale is the brand's mini 5-inch smooth leather satchel bag, now just £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 pick up some colourful laces in the sale to add a splash of colour to existing boots for £1.50. Check out Dr Martens' amazing end of year sale here.
But Dr Martens isn't the only place for shoe savings; Schuh's sale is also on now with discounts of up to 60% off on brands like Converse, Crocs, and more. Debenhams is another hotspot for deals, currently showcasing a selection of shoes on offer, reports Wales Online.
