This fine piece of footwear is full of Dr. Martens heritage. The shoe is made using Quilon, a durable, fine-textured recreation of the classic Dr. Martens leather that ages to perfection. Built to last, it's made using one of the finest methods of construction: the Goodyear Welt — which means the upper and sole are sewn together in a heat-sealed z-welt stitch. The boot sits on the durable, comfortable Air Wair™ sole, that's oil and fat resistant with good abrasion and slip resistance. The Made in England footwear may come with either a gold or yellow scripted heel loop. Upper: 100% Leather, Lining: 55% Leather, 45% Textile, Sole: 100% PVC. Features lacing closure and a round toe with a flat heel.
