Elaborate and ostentatious, the adoption of Victorian mourning fashion as an expression of rebellious nonconformity rather than its original rule-following intent shows the ingenuity of the goth subculture. The very idea that the purity of lace was reclaimed by a subculture for its intricate, webbed nature makes it the ultimate gothic adornment. Our lace print contrasts echoes that sentiment, providing a stark contrast to dark fabric and leather—and setting the stage for lavish style. And as a print on a pair of classic Dr. Martens 6-eye hiker boots? That’s pretty goth.

This women’s 6-eye hiker boot features contrast white eyelets and a padded collar. It was constructed on our iconic Dr. Martens AirWair bouncing sole, that’s oil-and-fat resistant with good abrasion and slip resistance. The women’s 6-eye boot is Goodyear welted, meaning the upper and sole are sewn together in our heat-sealed z-welt stitch for enhanced comfort. Finally, it was made from Smooth, our classic Dr. Martens leather: durable, with a smooth finish.
