The Dr. Martens Lite are a new lineup of lightweight boots and shoes from the icon UK footwear brand that is set to take the market by storm. Anyone who has worn or owned a traditional pair of Dr. Martens knows that they are sturdy, designed for years of wear -- and somewhat heavy.
The new Dr. Martens Lite lineup of styles trade the iconic sole of the shoe for a lighter DM sole to make agility and comfort a top priority. Regarding the interior footbed, the lightweight boots feature a SoftWair memory foam insert that helps to provide additional cushioning without adding too much additional weight.
The Dr. Martens Lite collection can be purchased now with styles starting at just $105.
