Dr. Martens – 101 Arc Black Vintage Smooth

While the 101 sits lower on the ankle, it’s still an instantly recognizable Dr. Martens silhouette with its contrasting yellow stitching and branded heel loop. The unisex shoe is crafted from Vintage Smooth, a retro version of the brand’s highly durable leather that features a soft sheen and subtle grained effect. Goodyear-welted, the upper and sole of the 101 are sewn together for added durability, instead of being glued together like many other shoes. At the end of the day, the 101 offers classic Dr. Martens tooling in a slightly shorter build for both men and women.
