Affordable, comfortable, versatile, timeless—Dr. Martens' signature utility combat boots certainly check all the boxes, which probably explains why the label consistently ranks among the top shoe brands trending on Google. A cult-favorite among fashion editors and sartorially savvy readers alike, it's safe to say the under-$200 shoes are a closet staple. And celebrities seem to agree.
Gigi Hadid, for instance, wears Dr. Martens with distressed anti–skinny jeans, while Hailey Bieber likes to wear them with sleek leather pants. Model Irina Shayk has been known to pair the "ugly" utility combat boots with everything from tailored suits to sundresses. Not to mention Kristen Stewart and Rihanna are avids fan.
