Dr. Martens Women's Blaire Embossed Leather, Black/White, 8
Loafer ShoesWith a sturdy, lightweight zig-zag sole with extra platform height, the blaire sandal by Dr. Martens has tons of classic doc's attitude and hard wearing durability — and is 100 percent vegan. Dr. Martens is the stuff of legends. It all began near Munich, Germany in 1945 when Dr. Klaus Maertens injured his foot in a skiing accident in the Bavarian Alps. To make walking easier during the healing process, he designed a shoe with an air-cushioned sole. Using old rubber tires, he constructed soles that had air trapped within closed compartments. He showed his prototype to his engineer/inventor friend, Dr. Herbert Funck, and together they decided to develop and produce the shoes. Not only did the shoe solve the doctor's immediate problem, but it also started to sell well in Germany. By 1959 the two decided that they needed a company to produce and distribute the shoes, then called Dr. Maertens, in other parts of the world. At first, many manufacturers rejected the concept of an air cushioned sole as a short-lived gimmick. However, the R. Griggs Group, located in the village of Wollaston in England, decided to go along with the idea by creating the first work boot with the revolutionary sole. On the first of April 1960, the first cherry red eight-eyelet work boot was produced and named 1460. To sell the brand name better in England, the name was anglicized to Dr. Martens. The range was branded AirWair and the rest is history.

User Reviews
These are so cute and better on, the price is excellent, especially for a pair of Dr Martens that or so comfortable!
These sandals are a dream! Super bouncy and supportive sole has a rubber footbed for easy cleaning. Straps allow for airflow and reduced sweat. I normally wear a womens size 9 (US) sandal - I ordered a size 7 (US) and they fit perfectly. I have worn these every day since they arrived and have received numerous compliments on them! (This is my Dr. Marten pair #8...)
These are cute but the straps are way too big. With no way to adjust them and no stretch, I’m not sure how anyone would fit properly. It’s possibly a bad design because there are so many straps, it would not very likely that they are the perfect length. I have a wide foot and the straps float over my entire foot. I can adjust the ankle but feel like the shoe is too big to be worn that way.
I wear these ALL the time and I love them so much. You'll need to put something on the back so it doesn't hurt but they are so comfortable and cute. I have them in black also!
These were easily a size too big. I've bought doc martens in the past and a size 8 fit perfect so I got the same size even though the reviews said to size down I was skeptical. I sent them back and wont be buying a new pair. They were not comfortable at ALL. I was really bummed out because I was SO excited for them.
I loved these sandals. They do run very large. They are very comfortable.
Most comfortable walking shoes I’ve ever owned! I first bought a black pair, then cherry and then white!
I love the shoe but the leather cuts the skin. Sent back.
