Urban Saddle Shoes

Dr. Martens Adds Some Flair With the Doane Duple 5-Eyelet

The Doane Duple 5-Eyelet is a slick two-tone shoe that seriously looks badass. The shoe is made from leather with white surrounding the top and a red sole. The model is a part of the Dr. Martens Spring/Summer 2011 Two-Tone Series and is also available in suede.

We've seen several modern takes on the classic 50s-era saddle shoe, but the Doane Duple 5-Eyelet is the iteration with the most street cred.
