The origin of the Creeper goes deep: first appearing after World War II, when soldiers rocked sturdy, crepe-soled military issue boots at London clubs—and did a dance called The Creep. In the 70s, the shoe’s distinctive look was adopted by various subcultures, including punk and goth.

Fast forward to today: the women’s Masha Creeper is a fashion-forward look inspired by the goth subculture’s penchant for strappy boots.

The Masha Women’s Creeper boot is constructed on Dr. Martens air-cushioned soles, that are oil-and-fat resistant with good abrasion and slip resistance—and have been since 1960. Durable and solid, the boot is Goodyear welted, meaning the upper and sole are sewn together in our heat-sealed z-welt stitch for enhanced comfort. The Classic Black Masha Creeper is made with Polished Smooth leather, our iconic Dr. Martens leather, with contrasting Hi Suede panels. The straps are functional, with gunmetal buckles.
