DM'S SOLE GUIDE

Grid of boot soles showing different tread patterns in black and dark brown

It all began with a bouncing sole. The Doc's legacy is built, ground-up, on the crafting of innovative foundations for your feet.

Ever since Drs Funck and Maertens played with PVC to create the first ever air-cushioned sole, we've been prioritizing groundbreaking design. Heights, treads and styles will differ, but quality and durability remain.

When choosing your Doc's boots and shoes, consider starting with the sole and building up from there.
