Most Popular Dr. Martens Boots for Women

The majority of the boots that women love are unisex— meaning to say, they are also worn by men. These boots are chunky and add more character to whatever outfit you would pair them with.

1. 1460 Women’s Smooth Leather Lace Up Boots

The 1460 Women’s Smooth Leather Lace Up Boots which come in black, white, and cherry red color are very much like the classic 1460, but it is a bit narrower to fit the usual shape of women’s feet.

Just like the standard 1460, it has 8 eyes, grooved edges, and yellow stitching. The Smooth leather used for the upper is Goodyear welted, or in other words, heat-sealed to the sole and reinforced with yellow stitches for extra durability.

This boot style actually ranks supreme for men as well. So it is no wonder that the female version is also a favorite of many!

2. Jadon Smooth Leather Platform Boots

The DM Jadon Smooth Leather Platform boot which is a bit more expensive than the 1460 packs a chunky sole that is really women empowering! Its platform height is actually 1 ½ inch and its heel height is 1 ⅞ inch. 

The Jadon is an evolution of Dr. Martens’ 1460 so it still has 8 eyes, grooved edges, heel loop, and yellow stitching. The material used for this boot is the Polished Smooth leather so you can expect that it is lightly textured and has a noticeable sheen.

What makes the Jadon even more unique from the 1460 is its inner ankle zip. This feature makes it easy to wear and remove.

3. Devon Heart Leather Platform Boots

The DM Devon Heart Leather Platform boot screams femininity all over with its heart buckle detail and high platform. Dr. Martens consider this boot as a symbol of their customization history and their detailing that is DIY inspired.

The Devon Heart is made of Milled Nappa, a type of pebbled leather that is hardwearing and is very soft even in the first wear. 

Women love the two woven straps of this boot and the heart-shaped buckles attached to them. This footwear also boasts of a padded tongue and quarters for extra comfort. The yellow welt stitching and heel loop are also present in this design.

4. 1460 Crazy Horse Leather Lace Up Boots

Since a good number of women love the 1460 design, it is not shocking that they also love its Crazy Horse leather version. This boot showcases the same details like the classic 1460, but it uses Crazy Horse— an oil-finished leather that has a worn appearance even when brand new.

If you are looking for a rugged-looking boot, this is definitely for you. The boot’s stylish 8 eyes, AirWair soles, iconic yellow welt stitches, and heel loop are really highlighted in this pair. 

The leather used is also oil and fat-resistant, plus it also has good abrasion!

5. Vegan 2976 Felix Chelsea Boots

This Vegan Chelsea boot is perfect for women who prefer synthetic material over leather. This is 100% vegan as it is made of Felix Rub Off Leather. The material is soft and supple and also has a two-tone finish albeit subtle.

Another thing that should be highlighted about this Chelsea boot is its fit. It is a bit narrow, so make sure that you go to a physical Dr. Martens store when purchasing one.

Nevertheless, this boot is perfect for women who are always on the go since it has elastic gussets that make it a pull-on style.

The sole used for this awesome boot is the Quad Bex sole. It is stacked for extra chunkiness.

Most Popular Dr. Martens Shoes for Women

The most popular DM shoes for women are part of the brand’s ever-evolving collection. Most of these shoes pay tribute to the original DM silhouette, but they’re also very trendy and contemporary.

1. 1461 Smooth Leather Oxford Shoes

I know what you’re thinking! Isn’t this the same bestselling DM shoe for men? Yes! You got it right. This bad boy is well-loved even by women too.

The 1461 Oxford Shoe of Dr. Martens is very iconic because it is the second style released after the 1460 boot. This shoe is made of the same material (Smooth leather) and also exhibits DMs DNA— the yellow stitching and grooved edges. Although, this doesn’t have a heel loop.

Another great thing about this shoe is that it comes in playful colors like cherry red, acid pink, and purple. Perfect for women, and women at heart; if you know what I mean. 

2. 8065 Smooth Leather Mary Jane Shoes

Who wouldn’t love the T-bar fastening in the 8065 Smooth leather Mary Jane! I know it’s very 80s, but it still matches a lot of outfits up to today. Not to mention, the white color of this shoe is really gorgeous!

This Mary Jane shoe is made of DM’s famous Smooth leather so you can bank on its durability. Although it is quite stiff in the beginning, this will be very comfortable with continuous wear.

The T-bar fastening of this shoe is what really makes it iconic, along with the holes in its upper that give it more character. We also love how the AirWair gives a rugged look to this lovely pair.

3. Adrian Smooth Leather Tassel Loafers

I think the tassle detail of the Dr. Martens Adrian Leather loafer appeals to both sexes! This is actually the very first Doc to be inspired by subcultures, so it’s really pleasing to look at. 

Made of smooth leather, this shoe is of high-quality and comfortable. It also uses AirWair and is heat-sealed and reinforced with stitches. Unfortunately, though, the stitches are black and not yellow.

The tassle and stitch details on the upper of this shoe are really commendable. It is also slip-on footwear, so you can easily wear and remove it if needed. 

This Docs only come in black color, but it looks very stylish.

The DM Bethan polished platform shoe looks and feels very premium— perfect for every stylish woman! This shoe combines two features that have been archived by DM for years: the Commando tread sole that has a double-height, and the T-bar detail.

Another thing that I love about this shoe is that it has a toe cap that creates a sleek look. The leather linings also feel very premium, so you get an incredible established look.

As for quality, this shoe utilizes Polished Smooth leather so it is extra shiny. The upper is Goodyear welted to the sole and reinforced with yellow stitches.

5. 8053 Leather Platform Casual Shoes

Among all the shoes listed above, the DM 8053 Leather Platform shoe is probably the most comfortable. It packs a padded collar and an AirWair sole so you won’t have blisters even if it has a platform height of 1 ½ inch.

Unlike the DM oxford shoe, the 8053 has a 5-eye style and is made of Polished Smooth leather. It is super durable and you have the option to polish it to a high shine.

This shoe also has yellow stitches and it is very chunky! People would immediately identify this shoe because of its character and power!
