Made of smooth leather that shapes around your foot, the boots are durable famously lasting a long time ensuring that you never need to buy another pair again - unless you want a new colour. Originally £159 the 1460 Burgundy Smooth Leather Lace Up Boots are now on sale for 40% less at just £95 with sizes 3-13 in stock. For money-saving tips, First produced on April, 1 1960 - where the shoe got its name - the 1460 was made originally for workers but "soon became a cultural icon". Customers have been loving the classic style boots for decades and with over 10,000 reviews have awarded them a 4.6 stars on the Dr Martens website.

However some customers didn't love the stiffness of the boot when you first buy them. One said: "Lovely quality boots. Very stiff so needs a bit of wearing to get comfortable. Previously Got black soft leather and wore them instantly with no issues. Need to wear these in, which is taking time." Although another customer said: "Love them!

This Nike Air Jordan is a wearable data viz for your foot
After you wear it enough, Nike's latest Air Jordan 1 eventually becomes a one-of-one sneaker in a colorful, custom colorway just for you. The Air Jordan 1 High OG 'Self-Expression,' which will be released July 31 and retail for $185, comes in a shoebox that looks as if it was made from sanded down rainbow scratch paper, and it's a preview of what happens when you wear the shoes inside. At first the sneaker is black, but its finish is designed to flake off with time, revealing blue, green, and yellow panels underneath. It give each pair a unique pattern that's special to the wearer. Think of it as a data visualization of your walking patterns. AJ purists may be used to leaving their purchase in the box to keep it in mint condition, but the concept of scratch-off shoes flips scuff marks from a negative to a plus. The Air Jordan 1 High OG Self-Expression gives scuff marks value: wearing in the shoe so it doesn't look the same as when you bought it is intrinsic to the design. It's an innovative alternative to typical product customization. Nike has previously put out rub away Air Max 1s and Nike SB x Air Jordan 1s with wear-away uppers, while their Air Force 1 Low Dirty Triple White ages backwards to reveal a brighter, whiter, cleaner layer underneath an outer layer that already looks worn. Dr. Martens got in on the trend last year with color-changing shoes with brown and black topcoats that wore off to reveal bright green and blue as part of a collaboration with Supreme. For Nike, bringing the effect to the Air Jordan adds a fun new way to experience one of the company's signature shoes. 'The Air Jordan 1 transcended its basketball origins to become a cultural phenomenon in the 1980s, influencing diverse subcultures such as hip-hop, rock, skateboarding, and youth culture,' Air Jordan's Kenlyn Tyree tells Fast Company. 'Its blend of style, comfort, and performance made it a symbol of self-expression and status for a generation of young people.' Typically, apparel made from materials like raw denim or leather are thought to get better with wear, but with rub-away shoes, that idea is taken to another level. The imperfections are the point, and with Nike's color-changing Air Jordan 1s, the bold, bright colors draw attention to them even more.

Fisherman Sandals Are the Surprising Comfy Shoe Trend of the Summer—and We Found 12 Pairs on Sale From Just $18
Living in New York City, I learned the importance of stocking my closet with comfortable walking shoes fairly quickly. After racking up 10,000-plus steps almost daily for nearly the last decade, I feel confident in my ability to identify a reliable pair of sandals from a mile away. So, when I spotted the Everlane Day Fisherman Sandals last summer, I knew they were exactly what my packing lists had been missing, and after over a year of wear, I can confidently say I was correct. With the fisherman sandal trend rapidly becoming one of the most sought-after styles of the season, I embarked on a mission to uncover the best deals on my favorite summer footwear look so you can add a pair to your own suitcase regardless of your budget. Retailers like Old Navy, Dr. Martens, and Melissa have all put unique spins on the design with prices starting as low as $18. Keep reading to find the 12 best deals on the stylish, comfy walking sandals you'll be wearing every day for the rest of the summer. Made with buttery-soft leather straps and shockingly cushy insoles, the Everlane Day Fisherman Sandals are my all-time favorite shoes of this style, and right now they're on sale for an impressive 50 percent off in all four neutral shades. The adjustable straps at the ankles create the perfect fit without causing chafing, and I've worn these shoes during long days at the office and sightseeing excursions—all without ever incurring a single blister. They look great with everything from my favorite midi dress to a simple pair of jean shorts, and after over a year of regular wear, they still look as good as new. If you're looking for an easy slip-on style that still has the classic woven fisherman look to it, these Franco Sarto mules are a no-brainer addition to your shopping cart while they're marked down under $100. Faux leather uppers are well-constructed and sturdy, while low block heels will prove to be easy to walk in and a level-up from more casual footwear options. Rubber outsoles will provide essential grip on slick surfaces while you're out and about exploring your destination, and they even come in black and silver, also on sale for 31 percent off and 40 percent off, respectively. Cole Haan has a reputation for crafting high-quality footwear, so when I spotted a pair of fisherman sandals double-discounted to $83 with the code SUNSHINE, I knew they were a must-have. This iteration of my favorite summer trend sports a thicker, chunkier outsole and gorgeous gold hardware at the straps, putting a more modern twist on the classic look. The woven design atop each shoe is adorned with decorative stitching, while the closed-toe finish makes them wearable with a pair of bright socks even when the weather gets colder. They come in three beautiful shades (ivory, black, and brown), but it's the black pair that's stocked with the best size range. Simply made and perfect for travel, these comfy fisherman sandals will pair well with everything in your suitcase—and they're a whopping 48 percent off in a woven raffia material. This unique take on the trend is suitable for casual or nicer wear and will pair effortlessly with everything in your existing summer wardrobe, and shoppers have even confirmed that 'no breaking in [is] required' since they're 'already soft and cushioned.' Best of all, they're available in a full range of sizes from 5 to 12, including half sizes. Looking to get the fisherman sandal style on a budget? Then you can't go wrong with snatching up the Dream Pairs Fisherman Sandals while they're on sale for just $20. The highly rated sandals boast cushy insoles and grippy outsoles that are well-suited for long days on your feet, and shoppers have revealed that they're 'super comfortable out of the box.'

For a more bohemian, beachy take on fisherman sandals, the Jeffrey Campbell Tan Lines Espadrilles Sandals are an unmissable selection at 25 percent off, and they provide a gorgeous pop of color to even your simplest outfits. The outsoles are lined with a braided jute material that's destined for wear at the beach, while satin-lined uppers are luxurious and well-made, while remaining suitable for casual wear. Gone are the days of neutrals with these bright navy sandals packed into your suitcase. Men can get in on the fisherman sandal trend as well, and at a significant markdown since the Dockers Searose Fisherman Sandals are on sale for 44 percent off at Amazon right now. They come in sizes 7 to 15 (even including wide options), and are fitted with memory foam insoles for a supremely comfortable wear experience regardless of what's on your travel agenda. Flexible rubber outsoles bend with your feet without feeling too rigid, and they offer essential traction on a wide variety of surfaces. Marrying sport and style, these sandals are a vacation essential. My Dr. Martens boots are my favorite shoes to travel with during the colder months, so when I saw the top-rated Vegan Blaire Fisherman Sandals went on sale at Amazon for 41 percent off, I knew I needed to add them to my cart before my next trip. The thicker platform design is stylish without being impractical to walk in, and it features the classic yellow stitching and heel tabs as other footwear from the brand. They're an edgier take on the generally dainty fisherman style sandals, plus they're crafted with slip-resistant soles to provide safety and security. They're so popular that more than 200 shoppers have snagged them in the past month. $150 $75 at With chunky outsoles and lightweight, adjustable straps, these eye-catching platform sandals are an easy way to (literally) elevate every outfit, and right now you can snag them for 50 percent off at Nordstrom Rack. The heel height is tall enough to give you a few extra inches without making it difficult to walk, and in fact, one shopper likened them to 'walking on clouds.' Leather straps will only grow softer and more comfortable with every wear, and if you're searching for a durable pair of sandals that won't break down after just one season, these are your perfect match. $69 $49 at It's no secret that jelly shoes are another standout trend of the summer, so this pair of jelly fisherman sandals will be a timely addition to your suitcase while they're on sale for under $50. The classic Melissa Possession Sandals are perhaps one of the most popular jelly shoe options on the market, and this matte pink shade is a standout that will still be easy to style while adding some visual intrigue to any outfit you wear them with. They're fully stocked in sizes ranging from 5 to 13, comfy straight out of the box without any break-in needed, and so lightweight you'll hardly notice them in your suitcase. Did we mention they're bubblegum scented? Another pair of comfy jelly shoes in a more muted color, the Mia Jelly Fisherman Sandals are now marked down by 33 percent at Nordstrom, featuring an easy slip-on design. These retro sandals are a packable vacation pick that's both on-trend and functional, and they're fitted with the woven exterior and adjustable straps that this style is so well-known for.

MM6 Maison Margiela and Dr Martens reunite for new capsule
MM6 and Dr Martens are back together. The high-end fashion house and the UK shoe and boot brand have reunited with a new footwear capsule 'that reinvents iconic silhouettes'. That's achieved through a 'playful mix of shoemaking heritage and progressive design'. This second collaboration sees classic Dr Martens forms reworked through MM6's 'subversive lens - distorting the familiar to create something unexpected'. Two hybrid styles return for the season: the 1460 boot/1461 shoe and the 1461 shoe/Penton loafer, reimagined in stark white. The distinctive white-on-white finish 'nods to MM6's core aesthetic and the paint-drenched DM's from its SS25 show'. The first merges two Dr Martens favourites - the Original 1460 8-eye boot and 1461 3-eye shoe - enhanced with a bump toe, an embossed MM6 Maison Margiela numeric artwork on the ankle shaft, and a custom white AirWair heel loop. The second, a 1461/Penton hybrid, 'combines the structure of a lace-up with the ease of a slip-on, echoing the idea of a shoe within a shoe'. Both styles are made from a mix of Smooth and Virginia leather, with tonal welt stitching and a DM's bouncing sole, highlighting the play between classic form and deconstructed detail. The MM6 Maison Margiela x Dr Martens capsule has just dropped on both brands' websites, in select stores, and at key multi-brand retailers.
