Best Doc Martens dupes: 9 look-alike boots

What’s up, Doc?

Dr. Marten’s boots have become a fashion essential, popping up on streets and runways alike. It’s no wonder since they’re ideal for any season to pair with jeans for a casual look or a skirt to add some punk rock vibes.

Plus, with fall upon us, it’s imperative to have boots lined up in your wardrobe for jumping in leave piles and strolls through the apple orchard, right?

The classic Docs are the ankle-length lace-up black boots, complete with their iconic yellow stitching in the sole and the little flap on the back, a helpful addition when pulling the boots on over socks or pants.

The only thing that isn’t so cute about the brand is the price tag, which, to be fair, is actually reasonable for genuine and premium vegan leathers made to last. So, for those who can’t shell out over $100 for a pair, there are dupes that look and feel like the real deal.

See below for lookalikes of the classic black boot, as well as the white version, Chelsea boots and Oxfords, most for under $100.
