The Original Pascal 8 Eyelet boot, is one of the Dr. Martens iconic styles. The symbol of self expression and rebellion, it could be an iconic piece of a museum collection. Premium durable leather upper. Soft breathable leather and textile lining for comfortable wear. Leather and textile lined insole for cushioning and support. High-profile construction for ankle protection. Air synthetic sole for better grip. .
Go a size up. Virginia soft boot is a better item than the hard shiny version. As well as being more comfortable from the off it doesn't crack/split in use.
Happy with the boot and the price paid as a new (opened) item.
Pascal Docs tend to have softer but great quality leather. Plus if you buy the slight used Docs they are also softened up a little even if the stiffer leather and still have a lot of wear and characteristics for you to wear in….. Adventures with Docs.
