Dr Martens Jadon 8 Eye Boots US
A fierce evolution of our 8-eye boot, the Jadon retains all its original details — grooved edges, yellow stitching and a heel-loop — and adds a chunky, empowering platform sole. Inner ankle zip Made with the classic Dr. Martens Polished Smooth leather, a lightly textured, highly durable leather with a soft sheen Built on the durable, comfortable Dr. Martens air-cushioned sole, that's oil and fat resistant with good abrasion and slip resistance Platform height: 1.5" Upper:100% Leather Lining:75% Textile, 25% Leather Sole: 100% PVC Material The original Dr. Martens leather: super-durable, with a smooth finish polished to a high shine. Care Instructions Clean away dirt using a damp cloth and allow to dry, then apply Dr.Martens Wonder Balsam, Neutral or coloured wax polish as appropriate, using a Dr.Martens shoe brush, (Neutral can be applied to all colours). Allow to dry, then buff vigorously to desired shine using a second clean Dr.Martens shoe brush. (We advise to use 2 brushes per colour, one to add the polish and the second, clean dry brush, to buff up the leather for the best results). Construction This is a Goodyear-welted product. The upper and sole are heat-sealed and sewn together, not merely glued like many footwear constructions. Dr. Martens’ appeal to people who have their own individual style but share a united spirit – authentic characters who stand for something. People who possess a proud sense of self- expression. People who are different. On a stylistic level, Dr. Martens’ simple silhouettes allows their wearers to adopt the boots and shoes as part of their own individual and very distinctive style; on a practical level, their famous durability and comfort make them ideal for the unforgiving world of gigs and street fashion; and then finally on an emotional level, they are a badge of attitude and empowerment. However, it wasn’t always this way: Dr. Martens were originally a modest work-wear boot that was even sold as a gardening shoe at one stage. So, how did this utilitarian boot transform into one of the most culturally relevant brands of the modern era?
