Salt-Resistant Combat Boots

Dr. Martens' 'Wintergrip Faux Fur Lined Boots' are Built for the Cold

It can be difficult to find a winter footwear staple that protects against the elements and actually looks good, which is why Dr. Martens' launched its Wintergrip Faux Fur Lined Boots.

The boots boast a warm inner lining that keeps feet cozy in chilly conditions, while the exteriors feature the company's Snowplow technology to combat salt stains and keep water at bay. This also makes the boots easier to clean, as the typical mud and scuff marks that come with winter weather can just be wiped away. For added grip, Dr. Martens utilizes its WinterGrip sole, which combines PVC and rubber to give wearers more traction and control when walking on snow and ice.

The Wintergrip Faux Fur Lined Boots are available in both Dark Brown/Mustang and Black colorways.
