When it comes to footwear I don't typically stick to just one style. Living in New York City, where the weather is unpredictable, and walking is a way of life, I often rotate between different brands and shoe types. I wear Hoka for commuting, Bruno Magli for nights out, and Nike for everyday kicks.

However, there is one boot that I will always be loyal to — the Dr. Martens 1460 Patent Leather Lace Up, which you can now buy for more than 40% off online.

Although these are technically sold as women's boots, they're a great unisex option, and the usefu l guide on Dr. Martens' site can help men determine what size to buy.
Normally retailing for $170 (now $89.99) I purchased my first pair of the 1460s in 2014, and nearly 11 years later, I still have the same ones. They're incredibly durable — they have withstood the cobblestone streets of SoHo, countless concert series, and have even survived a shoe-obsessed, chew-happy puppy. And while I don't necessarily recommend this, I have worn them in the rain more times than I can say, and water has never seeped inside or ruined the sole.
These boots are also versatile. I've paired them with mini dresses, jeans, jumpsuits, rompers, and everything in between — and thanks to their ability to allow airflow, you can wear them from season to season without overheating.
Dr. Martens are some of the most comfortable shoes you'll ever own. While I refuse to entertain any 1460 slander, it has been said more than once that they can feel stiff and confining. But let me be clear: you'll never want to take them off once you break them in. I've even walked thousands of steps in them at the Coachella Music Festival, and not once did my feet tire over the course of three days.
I'm not the only one who feels this way either. Since their introduction in the 1960s, the 1460s have been beloved by some of the most famous musicians around, including Elton John, Nirvana, The Sex Pistols, Pharrell Williams, and Rihanna. The brand even recently released a special edition of this boot with The Who frontman Pete Townshend which you can check out here .
This type of style rarely ever goes on sale, so we suggest grabbing a pair online now while they're 47% off — that's saving you more than $80. But if you already own some (and we wouldn't be surprised if you did), the fan-favorite retailer has some other great selects on sale for more than 50% off, including their Mono Lace Up Boots , Smooth Leather Platforms , and Max Buckle Platforms .
Zappos, meantime, also has a number of Dr. Martens boots and shoes on sale, including the iconic "Yellow Stitch" boots below.
