Put some Jeans On: The best styles with Dr. Martens for men and women

From classic lace-up boots to iconic Chelsea: Docs are for everyone. That's why Dr. Martens go with both men's and women's outfits. Our favorite go-to combo: Docs and jeans. This is not only a match of two working class icons, but an absolutely stylish choice that still leaves you room for your individual style. For example, wear the boots in a punk look with ripped skinny jeans or let a wide pant leg casually fall over the boots. Absolutely Insta-worthy: The half-high 1461 with rolled-up jeans and eye-catching Socks.

A plus for the ladies: No matter the model, Dr. Martens are the perfect complement to skirts or dresses. Many women also choose to make a deliberate style break by mixing romantic patterns like floral prints or ruffle designs with chunky, black Doc lace-up boots. You want some grunge? Then pair your Dr. Martens with a black mini skirt and fishnet tights.

Vintage lovers, take note: Some shoe models from Dr. Martens process leather types that intentionally reveal nicks, scuffs and discolorations in the used look - depending on how long you wear the shoes. This gives the Docs their very own character that is true to yourself.

Last but not least: the lacing! There are probably 1,000 ways you can attach your laces. Be creative and try your hand: From special lacing techniques to colors - the personalized look turns your Docs directly into a unique eye-catcher.

And you should walk 500 Miles: Break in Dr. Martens properly

If you already own a pair of Docs, you know: No pain, no gain. After all, the tough leather of the lace-up boots first has to soften before it unfolds its full comfort. However, there are a few tips on how you can make the breaking-in phase a little easier:

• • • Do try this at home: wear your new Dr. Martens in your own four walls first. The advantage: If your feet hurt, you can take them off right away - and you won't be surprised with blisters at the end of a long walk.
    • Work it: Your hands can do some of the work for your feet by kneading the leather before you wear them. Don't worry: the durable material can take it.
    • Protection is Key: Thick socks work wonders when you want to break in your Dr. Martens. This way, you'll protect your skin from friction and pressure points with an extra layer of fabric.
    • Lace-up: Lace-up is another way to make break-in time a little easier. The trick is to leave the top two eyelets free when you break in and tie the laces together with a wraparound around your ankle. This gives the shoe a little more flexibility until the leather is soft enough.

All in all, walk it. The comfort that awaits you will be worth it. And what would Dr. Martens be if the relief went away after you wore them in? That's right: not your shoe.
