The brand's combat boots were huge in the 90s and made a resurrection recently. Dr. Martens has updated the aesthetic of the funky footwear and is using celebrity endorsements to promote the brand. The 2013 line-up is fierce and features the introduction of quilted padded boots, [burgundy hues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pascal-love-letter-boot) and punches of bright colors on the body and sole of the shoes. A must-purchase from the sensational collection is the [violet quilted combat boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1460-8eyelet-boot).
