Dr. Martens are known for its tough silhouettes and punk-inspired combat boots, but Lazy Oaf's collaboration with the footwear brand is offering a slightly softer alternative to the brand's usual offerings.
The new line features an elegant suede boot that's been stamped with an adorable pink heart. In addition, the front of these boots are adorned with heart-shaped buckles that maintain the boots' combat-feel while adding a touch of subtle elegance. Equal parts whimsical and durable, these boots are sure to appeal to those looking blend both delicate and nostalgic motifs. The edgy boots also feature Dr. Martens' classic platform sole.
The Lazy Oaf x Dr. Martens' Spring/Summer 2018 Boots will drop on March 29th.
