There’s no mistaking the ageless appeal of Dr. Martens’ signature 1460 8-eye boot. A symbol of pop culture and counterculture in equal measure, it’s not just one of the most popular boots in the world, it’s a silhouette that’s hard to top. That said, we’re well aware it’s not always practical or necessary to wear a full-on combat boot-inspired silhouette, even if we want to step out in a pair of the brand’s signature “bouncing soles.” Enter the Plain Toe Derby, a low-top style that’s equal parts classic Dr Martens boot and dress shoe. A smart shoe with a little more character than the traditional derby, Dr. Martens Plain Toe Derby boasts a sturdy leather upper (true to Dr. Martens’ hard-wearing history) with the brand’s signature sole down below. Whether you’re wearing them for the upcoming holidays or simply to stomp through wet weather, Nordstrom makes it easy to shop this all-time versatile style.
