BACK TO SCHOOL

Black leather lace-up shoes with grey socks on a person lying by a tipped yellow chair

Start them young. Doc’s have been a uniform staple since the 1970’s. Small shoes, crafted with the same attention to quality and comfort as their grown-up counterparts.


Flexible soles and durable leathers allow for endless adventuring. Black stitches or removable bows are ready for the strictest uniform standards. Laces-free options will save your mornings.

  1. everything you need to know

    LACES-FREE STYLES

    Opt for the riptape and zipped styles. Or, if you want to get them practising, the 1460 boots have laces and a zip to cover all bases.

  2. HOW TO MEASURE

    Our store teams can help you to measure feet and try on styles. Each product page also has its own size guide.

  3. KIDS SOLES

    We use the classic Dr. Martens air-cushioned sole but have adapted it with a flexible cemented sole construction for feet that are always moving. The soles feel much softer than our typical adult ones but are engineered to the same high standard.

  4. UNIFORM STANDARDS

    We have plenty of styles with features that will pass school uniform checks, such as black stitching instead of our signature yellow stitching. Or removable bows – great if they want to pop them back on for the weekend. Jump to SHOP BY FEATURE to check out your options.

  5. CARING FOR KIDS DOC’S

    Just like our adult boots and shoes, our kids’ styles are built to be artfully scuffed up. But you can help them last longer with a waxing, polish and protecting care routine. Our Care Guides can all be applied to kids Doc’s.

  6. MATCHING STYLES

    We have range of mini me styles with adult versions. So you can meet and match at the school gate.

  7. AGE RANGE

    Our kids sizes go from 1- 9 years. But we know that all kids grow at different rates, so you might find that yours needs bigger size earlier on. Explore our sizing tiles below for help with this.
